I run some mysql command files (just SQL statements in a file I read
from standard input) and need to place some annotiations/comments in the
output.
If I place standard SQL comments ("-- comment text") or MySQL comments
("# comment text") they do not show up in the mysql client output. Well,
in a way that makes sense - they are "comments".
I have tried using "select ' comment text' ;" and that works, but I get
many, many lines instead of my one simple annotation - e.g.:
--------------
select "First comment ..."
--------------
+-------------------+
| First comment ... |
+-------------------+
| First comment ... |
+-------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Any/all ideas are appreciated - Richard
