Add loading schema in Windows

[vughtwv]

Problem to Solve

For now the documentation on vaticle.com does not include how to load a schema in windows

Current Workaround

use the following
option 1.
typedb console --command="transaction [name] schema write" --command="source [path without spaces]" --command="commit"
option 2.

transaction [name] schema write
Source [path without spaces with double backslashes or forward slashes]

Proposed Solution

add this to the documentation

Hi @flyingsilverfin
I am running typedb server on a docker. I executed the following commands

1. I launched typdedb console with :
   docker exec -ti typedb bash -c '/opt/typedb-all-linux/typedb console
2. transaction mykg schema write
3. source ~/TypeDB/My_kg/KG/Schema/V9.tql (source with lowercase s)

I got the error
Failed to open file '~/TypeDB/My_kg/KG/Schema/V9.tql'

3 bis) Source ~/TypeDB/My_kg/KG/Schema/V9.tql (source with Uppercase S)

I got the following error even if my file starts with the word define
[TQL03] TypeQL Error: There is a syntax error at line 1:
Source ~/TypeDB/My_kg/KG/Schema/V9.tql
^
mismatched input 'Source' expecting {'match', 'define', 'undefine', 'insert', 'compute'}

Can you please help about this?
Thanks!

you can't use ~ I believe, you should use a relative or absolute path @su-suvvy

This issue also isn't exactly your question - next time please open a new issue or ask this question in our forum forum.vaticle.com or on our discord server where our community lives: https://discord.com/invite/vaticle

It would be a good idea to test and document workarounds for Windows IMHO.
