I have a little weird problem. I would like to import sql file via command line. Command looks like
mysql -u root -p root pdweb-sandbox < C:\Apache24\htdocs\pdweb-sandbox\migrations/init.sql
But if there is password explicitly typed in command it does nothing. No error but also no action. Only if the password is empty it works as expected(but I need type it to the command line). But I would like to have password in the command. It is a part of a script which is triggered automatically. Password comes from phinx.yml config file. Is there a way to do it with password in command?
There are many ways you can do this in a script:
Using mysqlimport. You can find the details here. https://www.toadworld.com/platforms/mysql/w/wiki/6152.mysql-importing-with-mysqlimport
Using mysql, the details about how to use it as below (Copied from https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysql-command-options.html#option_mysql_password)
--password[=password], -p[password]
The password to use when connecting to the server. If you use the short option form (-p), you cannot have a space between the option and the password. If you omit the password value following the --password or -p option on the command line, mysql prompts for one.
Specifying a password on the command line should be considered insecure. See Section 6.1.2.1, “End-User Guidelines for Password Security”. You can use an option file to avoid giving the password on the command line.
