Q: 

Command Line in Batch file?

I am making a batch file to automate mysql installation silently. When I type the following line in the command prompt everything works fine.

"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysqlinstanceconfig.exe" -i -q ServiceName="mydb" RootPassword="pos" ServerType=DEVELOPMENT DatabaseType=INNODB Port=3306

My question is: can I somehow add this to a batch file so it will run it as if I entered it in the command line?

Thanks, Matt

A: 

yes, its easy. As Santa commented, just put your command inside some text file, change the extension of that file to .bat. Thats all !!
