Connection to database

[Pranav Butala]

Is there a way to write a bash script that will connect to MySQL database if all the JDBC connection information along with user id and password is provided?
driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
url=jdbc.url
userid=jdbc.userid
password=jdbc.password

If you're accessing the database from a bash script, why not just use the mysql client program? IMO it's easier to call it directly, and then process the results in the shell program.

Cannot do it. Using ant script for deployment precess. Sql task in ant fails to execute the dump file properly. Need to call it through a shell script. Project guide lines.
