Hi Baynaa,

Does the mysql command return, or hang?

If it returns:

  You could test mysql reading from a pipe in a more controlled
  manner:

  shell> mkfifo sql.fifo
  shell> echo "INSERT INTO whatever_table ... " > sql.fifo

  and from another shell run your original command but reading from
  the new sql.fifo .


If it hangs:

  Sounds like there's nothing to read from the pipe.
  What does 'cat mysql.pipe' print?


HTH,
Kevin
