Load config file at commandline

Hello,

This would be very basic question to most of you, but for me as a newbie it is an un-know.

I would like to load a configuration file into memory before executing a specific command. For example: I have a config file that holds all the database connectivity information and I'd like to load this specific db config file in order to execute a command:
config file will have:
Code:
export user=xyz
export password=abc
export database=123

Code:
mysql -u $user -password $password -db $database

I need the values correctly read from the config file that I will load before executing the above command.
Help is much appreciated.
