It's not .mysql_history that's complicated, it's the relationship between the mysql user and the unix user (no relationship at all) and the resulting clash of ideas in beginning user's minds that's complicated. Most people assume that the mysql client somehow works like ssh, that when you get a ">" prompt you are logged in elsewhere. This of course, is not true, as you well know. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
