Re: mysql command line client hangs in cygwin xterm
On looking into this, it seems that mysql including its client is compiled with cygwin. It is an old version, and this may explain the problem. I will look into this further, when I get a chance to download the beta version of mysql, which I assume is compiled against a more recent version of the cygwin.dll.

This is the reason I refuse to use MySQL on Windows - sooner or later the multiple cygwin.dll problem that their distribution creates if the user also installs Cygwin is going to start biting people. If possible I would suggest looking into Firebird (the database) instead. Cheers, Rasjid.

Seems to work normally in the xterm on other systems and at the NT command line. thanks Richard I've seen other applications work in a command shell but not rxvt. I assume you're having the same problem with xterm. Basically, the output isn't getting flushed out so you can't see it, but whatever you type is still accepted as input. Sorry, don't know of any way to fix it, other than sticking with cmd.exe. Maybe you can have an alias that will pop-up a regular cygwin window (in a command shell) for when you want to use mysql, and you can stick to xterm for the rest of your stuff. Note that this problem is a problem with cygwin and not anything in cygwin/x specifically. That's why rxvt has the same problem, whether you run it in native windows mode or X mode. So, if you want more information on it, I suggest asking in the regular cygwin mailing list. Cary
