title: is it possible to call a sql script from a stored procedure in another sql script?
body: <p>I'd like to use . to call sql script from inside a stored proc like so...</p>
  
  <pre><code>delimiter ///
  create procedure append_procedure()
  BEGIN
  \. test.sql;    
  END; ///
  delimiter ;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm getting a "failed to open 'test.sql;' " error when I run it this way.  I've also tried ! but then I get a permission denied error.  However, I can't eliminate the ; or the whole thing is broken. Is there a way around this?</p>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong?</p>
