Dear All,
I would like to be able to do that from the cnf file, as I want to
have a different editor for MySQL commands than the one I use when
writing shell scripts. When I put the following in the .my.cnf file,
[shell]
EDITOR=/usr/local/bin/pico
export EDITOR
I get no error messages when mysql starts up, but the value of the
EDITOR variable does not change.
Is there any way I can achieve that from the cnf file?
No. MySQL option files are for setting MySQL program options, not
environment variables.
