Re: MySQL client, prompt, redux
Yaakov (Cygwin/X) yselkow...@users.sourceforge.net was heard to say: What do you mean by local server? If you mean a Win32-native server, that case is clearly noted in the mysql Cygwin README. If you mean the mysqld which is provided by the Ports package, further discussion thereof would be welcome on the cygwin-ports-general list. I'm sorry I wasn't explicit enough here. The problem occurs if I connect to a Win32 mysqld. I don't use the Cygwin mysqld at this time. I thought I'd mention this limitation because people may try the Cygwin client and go like great, this !#**# doesn't work either if they are not aware they have to use the -h option in this particular case. This was not intended to create the impression something's wrong with your port. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka http://www.mhoenicka.de AQ score 38 -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

When I run cygwin inside a TakeCommand shell, I do get a working mysql client program. You might want to check it out (it's a commercial app, however), see http://jpsoft.com/ Also, I see that the just released beta of MySQL Workbench has a proper command interpreter now, another option you might be interested in. - Eric Lilja -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Jeremy Bopp jer...@bopp.net was heard to say: real Windows console which mintty and rxvt are unable to provide. If there is no mysql package in the Cygwin repository, have you tried to see if Cygwin Ports has a Cygwin-native build which will work for you? This is just to confirm, for the sake of the archive's completeness, that Cygwin Ports has builds, or patch sets if you prefer to build them from scratch, and that these Cygwin builds provide a working command prompt. The only downside is that I don't seem to be able to connect through a socket, so I always have to use the network layer (via the -h hostname option) to connect to my local server. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka http://www.mhoenicka.de AQ score 38 -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

MySQL client, prompt, redux
From Google searches and some experience, it appears that it's a long-standing situation that, if you run the mysql.exe client program under mintty or rxvt from Cygwin, then mysql figures that it's not on an interactive terminal and therefore does not prompt. Is there yet any workaround other than simply using cmd.exe instead? (In mintty, BTW, cmd /c mysql ... doesn't prompt, presumably for the same reason that mysql alone doesn't prompt.) -- Tim McDaniel, t...@panix.com -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

That build of the client expects to have a real Windows console which mintty and rxvt are unable to provide. Yep. It probably calls isatty() on the standard streams, which in the case of the Windows C library (MSVCRT) returns false for pipes, which Cygwin's pty emulation is based on. It shouldn't be horrendously difficult, however, to add a switch for forcing interactive mode to the mysql client. Python does have such a switch. Perhaps you could raise this on the relevant mysql mailing list?
