It would be &lt;

But this will probably not do what you want as the input redirection
you are looking for is performed by the shell (at least on Unix).

Make that

<exec executable="/bin/sh">
  <arg value="-c" />
  <arg value="mysql -h server -u xxx -pqwerty database &lt; script.sql" />
</exec> 

Or use the <sql> task.
