Is there anyway within a mysql batch script to make individual statements silent?
For example, if I have a script like:
select @t1:=desc from decode_table where id=42;
select @t2:=desc from decode_table where id=64;
select concat('the msg is ',ifnull(@t1,42),' part two is ',ifnull(@t2,64));

I just want the result of the last line to go to stdout, but all three lines go.  So I 
end up having to trick it up with a last line like:
select concat('##the msg is ',ifnull(@t1,42),' part two is ',ifnull(@t2,64));
and piping that to grep/sed to get my desired result (grep ^## | sed 's/^##//')

So - is there anyway to do selective select silence?  Or am I stuck with my tricked up 
version?

tia,
R
