I am working on a shell script and I have to execute a MySQL query from one server to a remote DB Server. I have written this script. Script was working fine until I added
where socialr_host = "http://$NEW/"
I think this is an issue of "" inside ''. Please help me with this, I don't have much knowledge to shell scripting
SERVER_USER="root"
SERVER_HOST="192.168.0.13"
MYSQL_HOST="localhost"
MYSQL_PASS="pass"
MYSQL_USER="root"
CORES_DATABASE="/root/Desktop/cores.db"
CORES_FILESYSTEM="/root/Desktop/cores.disk"
DIFF_FILE="/root/Desktop/diff.txt"
CORES_PATH="/raid/solr/cores"
NEW="db6055.da2"
ssh $SERVER_USER#$SERVER_HOST " mysql -u $MYSQL_USER -p$MYSQL_PASS -e 'select coloumn_name from table_name where socialr_host = "http://$NEW/";' database" > $CORES_DATABASE
You need to escape double quotes within double quotes:
ssh $SERVER_USER#$SERVER_HOST " mysql -u $MYSQL_USER -p$MYSQL_PASS -e 'select coloumn_name from table_name where socialr_host = \"http://$NEW/\";' database" > $CORES_DATABASE
However, there are several other issues with your code, and I would avoid using Bash for something as complicated as this. If you insist on using Bash, please read up on at least quoting and SSH quoting.

I want to connect to mysql databse and execute some queries and export its result to a varibale, and do all of these need to be done entirely by bash script
I have a snippet code but does not work.
#!/bin/bash
BASEDIR=$(dirname $0)
cd $BASEDIR
mysqlUser=n_userdb
mysqlPass=d2FVR0NA3
mysqlDb=n_datadb
result=$(mysql -u $mysqlUser -p$mysqlPass -D $mysqlDb -e "select * from confs limit 1")
echo "${result}" >> a.txt
whats the problem ?
The issue was resolved in the chat by using the correct password.
If you further want to get only the data, use mysql with -NB (or --skip-column-names and --batch).
Also, the script needs to quote the variable expansions, or there will be issues with usernames/passwords containing characters that are special to the shell. Additionally, uppercase variable names are usually reserved for system variables.
#!/bin/sh
basedir=$(dirname "$0")
mysqlUser='n_userdb'
mysqlPass='d2FVR0NA3'
mysqlDb='n_datadb'
cd "$basedir" &&
mysql -NB -u "$mysqlUser" -p"$mysqlPass" -D "$mysqlDb" \
-e 'select * from confs limit 1' >a.txt 2>a-err.txt
Ideally though, you'd use a my.cnf file to configure the username and password.
See e.g.
MySQL Utilities - ~/.my.cnf option file
mysql .my.cnf not reading credentials properly?
Do this:
result=$(mysql -u $mysqlUser -p$mysqlPass -D $mysqlDb -e "select * from confs limit 1" | grep '^\|' | tail -1)
The $() statement of Bash has trouble handling variables which contain multiple lines so the above hack greps only the interesting part: the data
I'm writing a bash script to do some db stuff. New to MySQL. I'm on Mac and have MySQL installed via homebrew.
Am using username "root" right now and there isn't a pw set. I included the pw syntax below just to help others out that may have a pw.
My goal is to have mysql commands be as "clean" as possible in my bash script
Not a hige deal, but would like to do this if possible.
Example
# If I can do it without logging in (*ideal)
mysql CREATE DATABASE dbname;
# Or by logging in with - mysql -u root -pPassword
CREATE DATABASE dbname;
# Instead of
mysql -u root -pPassword -e"CREATE DATABASE dbname";
Tried to simplify it. I have a handful of things I gotta do, so would rather keep my code cleaner if possible. I tried logging in with the bash script, but the script stopped once logged into MySQL and didn't run any commands.
Another option I was considering (but don't really like) would be just to keep username and pw string in a var and call it for every commmand like so
# Set the login string variable
login_details="-u root -p password -e"
# example command
mysql $login_details"CREATE DATABASE dbname";
So any ideas?
Write a new bash script file and run this file after putting all your commands into it. Don't forget to give right username and password in your bash script.
For bash script:
#!/bin/bash
mysql -u root -pSeCrEt << EOF
use mysql;
show tables;
EOF
If you want to run single mysql command.
mysql -u [user] -p[pass] -e "[mysql commands]"
Example:
mysql -h 192.168.1.10 -u root -pSeCrEt -e "show databases"
To execute multiple mysql commands:
mysql -u $user -p$passsword -Bse "command1;command2;....;commandn"
Note: -B is for batch, print results using tab as the column separator, with each row on a new line. With this option, mysql does not use the history file. Batch mode results in nontabular output format and escaping of special characters. -s is silent mode. Produce less output. -e is to execute the statement and quit
I am trying to execute an insert statement from linux shell where one of the columns has '$2a$10$zKjqmgld1gDYB/qkDuAS' in the value. When I see the inserted data the value is truncated and I get only 'aKjqmgld1gDYB/qkDuAS' as any digit followed by dollar is treated by linux as a parameter passed to the script.
This is how I am executing the script
mysql -u user --password=password -e "insert into users(id,name,password) values(1,'Some Name','\$2a\$10\$zKjqmgld1gDYB/qkDuAS')"
I have even tried escaping the $ like \$2a\$10\$zKjqmgld1gDYB/qkDuAS, but still it yields the same truncated data , however when I do echo '\$2a\$10\$zKjqmgld1gDYB/qkDuAS', I get the entire thing back.

Single quotes don't nest in shell (do they anywhere else, anyway?). So, your string is effectively outside the quotes. Combine with double quotes and backslashes:
mysql -u user --password=password -e \
"insert into users(id,name,password) values(1,'Some Name','\$2a$10\$zKjqmgld1gDYB/qkDuAS')"
it was already in double quotes (sorry, for writing the wrong query). That didn't work either, however I found a workaround
echo "insert into users(id,name,password) values(1,'Some Name','\$2a\$10\$zKjqmgld1gDYB/qkDuAS')" >> temp.sql
mysql -u user --password=password < temp.sql
This finally worked.
Am facing problem to connect the MySQL DB from shell script. Please find the below snippet i have written for connecting the MySQL data base. please suggest on this.
My shell Script:
#!bin/bash
Query="select * from Main"
MySQL -u root -p '!!root!!' -e kpi << EOF
$Query;
EOF
Please check the above code and suggest me how to connect the DB.
I think it should be
-pThePassword
So you should delete the space between -p and the pass. Also you should not use an apostrophe (except it is part of the pass itself. Use a backslash to escape special characters.
Second: *nix systems are case sensitive, please try mysql instead of MySQL
Update
You could also try to type your password into a file and read it with your script
mysql -u root -p`cat /tmp/pass` -e "SHOW DATABASES"
The file /tmp/pass should contain your password without any newline char at the end.
Update 2
Your Script is wrong.
You can either use mysql ... -e SELECT * FROM TABLE or mysql ... << EOF (without -e). You should not mix them.
Don't forget to pass the databasename as a parameter (or with use databasename;) in the sql
Don't forget to add a ; after every sql command, if you have multiple statements
Method One:
mysql -u root -ppassword databasename -e "SELECT * FROM main"
Method Two:
mysql -u root -ppassword databasename << EOF
SELECT * FROM main
EOF
Method Three:
mysql -u root -ppassword << EOF
USE databasename;
SELECT * FROM main;
EOF
mysql --user=root --password=xxxxxx -e "source dbscript.sql"
This should work for Windows and Linux.
If the password content contains a ! (Exclamation mark) you should add a \ (backslash) in front of it.
I tried to execute the following mysql command in one of my scripts:
mysql -e 'show global status like 'open_files''
But it doesn't seem to work, because of the single quotes around the string 'open_files'.
How can I issue a command like this, that contains a single quote?
Use double quote outside.
mysql -h127.0.0.1 -uxxxxx -pxxxxx -A databasename -e "show global status like 'open_files'"
or the reverse way:
mysql -h127.0.0.1 -uxxxxx -pxxxxx -A databasename -e 'show global status like "open_files"'
or you could escape the single quote.
And you are using LIKE, didn't you miss the wild char %?
