MySQL Running SQL Script error - [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process:

Question

I am getting an error while running a SQL script to load data. Error is pasted below:

Preparing...
[WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'C:\\Users\\PRATIK~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\tmpf75l0wi5.cnf'

I have tried uninstalling and installing MySQL several times but nothing is helping.

Answer 1

I faced the same issues while trying to run a MySQL script. I tried to find the process in the temp folder and removed it and tried again but the process seems to start again and appears in the temp folder. I could not run the script, however, I found a workaround, instead of running the script try to open it and run it in the query editor.
