Paul, I once spent a pleasant afternoon in Madison waiting on a rescheduled flight after a driving trip from Madison to LaCrosse and back. Note that the first link that you posted does not work, at least not with the current problems the website is experiencing. Concerning the second question I asked and the link that you provided, it still doesn't answer my question. For example: help (\h) Display this help. ? (\?) Synonym for `help'. clear (\c) Clear command. connect (\r) Reconnect to the server. Optional arguments are db and host. ego (\G) Send command to mysql server, display result vertically. exit (\q) Exit mysql. Same as quit. go (\g) Send command to mysql server. notee (\t) Don't write into outfile. print (\p) Print current command. prompt (\R) Change your mysql prompt. quit (\q) Quit mysql. rehash (\#) Rebuild completion hash. source (\.) Execute a SQL script file. Takes a file name as an argument. status (\s) Get status information from the server. tee (\T) Set outfile [to_outfile]. Append everything into given outfile. use (\u) Use another database. Takes database name as argument. Re the ego command, what commands can it send to the server and why would you want to use ego? Same for the clear and go command. For the third question, I direct my response to a wider audience and suggest that there should be a client-only installation download available.
