I get an error when I execute the command below from a DOS window in Windows XP with SQL Server 2008. -S is the option to specify the server name.
error: Sqlcmd: '-S': unknown option.
sqlcmd –S localhost –d databasename -i C:\files\somefile.sql –E
It's working now using '.' as the server name when I typed the line manually.
What I did earlier was type the command in an editor, copied the ine and pasted into the command line. My guess is that an invisible control character got in there during the copy. I opened another dos window and typed a similar command using 'localhost' and it worked. I never used sqlcmd to connect to a server so I thought my syntax was wrong.
localhost, . & (local) should all work and if you use a non existent server name it will complain that it couldn't connect. It shouldn't say -S is not an option.
Is localhost the correct reference to use? Try sqlcmd -L to get the list of servers.
LocalHost is for IIS
(LOCAL) is for SQL Server. Or you can use a period

This post isn't duplicate. I already referred this post and this post but the answers doesn't help
I am trying to execute a code in mySQL client window. HowEVER,I get the below error
The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version
What I did
SET GLOBAL local_infile = 1;
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'local_infile';
I executed the above commands in MySQL 8.0 Command Line Client
When I tried to do the same thing in MySQL Shell, I get the below error as Unexpected identifier
I am assuming MySQL Shell is the server. Do we have to do this at both client and server side?
How do I resolve this? In addition, whenever I launch command line client, I am only prompted to type password. So I am not able to pass it as a parameter. my clinet looks like as shown below
But how do I pass the below parameters while logging in then?
mysql -u abcd -p password_here --local-infile=1
I am new to MySQL and can you guide me?
Q1:
To run sql commands in MySQL Shell you need to change from default JS to sql
R1:
type \sql to change from js to sql
mysql-js> \sql
Q2:
so I am not able to pass it as a parameter
For this you must be selecting 'MySQL x.x Command Line Client' under windows search.
To resolve you need to have mysql bin folder in environment path or do the below step to access
R2:
Goto "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server x.x\bin" this is windows default path unless you change.
Then in the address bar if you click it will select ( i.e. C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\bin) there just type cmd (Note: now in the address bar you will see only cmd) then press enter.
Once cmd window opens with the mysql path like below
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\bin>
Type blah..blah.. blah
mysql -u abcd -p password_here --local-infile=1
Note: If you just parse -p instead of -ppassword it will ask for password after that. So if you are going to type the password directly then type -pyourpass there will not be any spaces between -p and password
i was looking this: Copy mysql database from remote server to local computer
And it's the same case as me! but what i need use to connect with the following code:
mysql -u username -p -h remote.site.com
What is this "console"?
Thanks!
EDIT: If there's not possible to pull db by this method, exists some php script that you put db name, server and password and they pull automatically?
Assuming that you have mysql utilities on your machine.
Go to your start menu on your PC and click on "run"
Then when the dos command line come up type in your command.
mysql -u username -p -h your domain.com
If you get an error something like "command not recognized" you will have to first navigate to the mysql bin folder
For example
cd C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin
Then execute the mysql..... Command.
Note, the remote server has to accept the connection. If you get a connection rejects you may want to make sure your remote server allow such a connection.
"console" has different names which often mean the same thing:
Terminal window
DOS prompt
Command prompt
Command line
It's the program on your computer which allows to run commands by typing text instead of clicking on icons and buttons.
I just installed SQL Server 2008, and I wanted to use the command editor to execute queries.
To do that I opened the command prompt, and I typed
Sqlcmd -S Serverinstance
but I got an error saying :
Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [53].
Sqlcmd : erreur : Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0 : A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible. Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. For more information see SQL Server Books Online..
Sqlcmd : erreur : Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0 : Login timeout expired
What should I do to get it connected to the server so I can proceed?
Thank you :D.
(This one is going to sounds silly) my problem was that I wasn't using capital 'S'
Eg:
C:\> SQLCMD -S localhost\sqlexpress
You need to either use the integrated-security approach of using your Windows credentials to connect to SQL Server by specifying -E as an option:
C:\> SQLCMD -S Serverinstance -E
or then you need to define a user/password set to achieve a SQL Server login:
C:\> SQLCMD -S Serverinstance -U (login in) -P (password)
All the many SQLCMD parameters are well-documented on MSDN SQL Server Books Online!
The server you are specifying cannot be found or is not accessible. so either the server is wrong (have you spelt it correctly) or you are not specifying it correctly or it is not accessible from your machine.
After you've got that right, you will need to specify a username/password or a -E command qualifier for a Trusted Connection. You may also need to specify the database with a -d qualifier.
You can get help by typing
Sqlcmd -?
I can successfully connect to MySQL from a DOS prompt, but when I try to connect from cygwin, it just hangs.
$/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/MySQL/MySQL\ Server\ 5.1/bin/mysql -u root -p
What's wrong?
I just came across this, and when I read someone's mention of it being a windows/DOS command that you run in cygwin I did a which mysql and that gave me:
$ which mysql
/cygdrive/c/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.5/bin/mysql
So I ran the cygwin Setup.exe searched for "mysql" and installed the latest "mysql client". Now which mysql looks like:
$ which mysql
/usr/bin/mysql
And the MySQL command works in cygwin :)
Though it's an old question, it would be nice to have the actual answer here, as people (like myself) might still stumble across it.
If your attempts to run the MySQL client from Cygwin return the following error:
$ mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysql.sock' (2)
Then you can fix it by adding the explicit -h 127.0.0.1 options to the command line, as in:
$ mysql -u root -p -h 127.0.0.1
Updates based on comments:
To avoid specifying -h 127.0.0.1 on the command line every time you connect, you can add:
[client]
host=127.0.0.1
to the file /etc/my.cnf
On some installations of Cygwin, specifying the host with -h might not be enough. If so, try also specifying:
--protocol=tcp
or add
protocol=tcp
to the config file.
Assuming that you have a native Windows build of MySQL, there is a terminal emulation incompatibility between DOS (command prompt) windows and bash. The prompt for mysql isn't showing up.
To confirm this, type a command and return - it will probably work, but the prompt and the echo of the command (what you're typing) is getting lost.
There may be a workaround in either the CYGWIN sytem properties or in bash, but I've never taken the time to work this one out.
Other answers lack the following key detail:
Cygwin has two shells:
Default: c:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe
Basic: c:\cygwin\Cygwin.bat (which launches c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe)
The Win32 MySQL can write properly to #2, but not #1, because Win32 MySQL cannot probe stdin properly (thanks #PeterNore)

I posted a solution/workaround here:
enter key sometimes not recognized in windows apps under cygwin
Run bash from the cmd.exe executable and then mysql will work inside bash.
Create a shortcut for cmd.exe on your desktop.
Open up the properties for the shortcut and change the startup directory to the cygwin bin directory (usually C:\cygwin\bin).
Add "/c bash.exe" to the end of the command in the target parameter.
This will run bash under the windows cmd.exe environment and when you attempt to run mysql it will execute as you would expect. This is working under windows 7 but has not been tested in any other version.
Put cygwin bin directory in path env variable.
Use command window by running cmd
Run bash -l in cmd window
Then MySQL can be run without problem.
Svend Hansen's answer is the right one:
Install windows mysql server files (from mysql-5.5.25-win32.msi for example)
Install Cygwin mysql client with cygwin installer (setup.exe)
Connect to your server in a cygwin window using cygwin client "mysql -u[user] -p[Password] -h[host]", in my case "mysql -uroot -pXXXX -h127.0.0.1"
I think that when the question was posted, the cygwin setup did not provide mysql components, which is solved now.
Althoug Svend Hansen answer has some points, another thing is the PATH in Environment variables - if the path to mysql is before that of cygwin
which mysql
will show
/cygdrive/c/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.5/bin/mysql
otherwise it will show the cygwin client.
As reference Wikipedia says:
Some programs may add their directory to the front of the PATH
variable's content during installation, to speed up the search process
and/or override OS commands.
Download Cygwin
Install mysql client app
create an alias in .bashrc file
alias mysql='mysql -h 127.0.0.1'
execute source .bashrc
Now you can connect to mysql
mysql -u user -p
I have created a semi-fix for this that satisfies me.
I ran cygwin.bat in cmd.exe, then typing mysql in- everything worked fine.
I realized right there that the problem was mintty.
Easy solution? Download Console2, and under settings you can point
it to the cygwin shell. Restart Console2, run mysql and the output
appears.
This is advantageous anyways, because Console2 has a more robust interface/customization than Mintty. I really like the transparency and color mapping options.
Do This:
just copy ur mysql.exe from C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin
paste this mysql.exe in C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin
now run which mysql, It will
Disclaimer: The following solved this issue for me under MinTTY on MinGW/MSYS. From research, I believe this same root cause affects Cygwin as well.

In a nutshell, you'll need to prepend your mysql command with winpty's console.exe (or have aliases that does so). This solution worked with native Windows MySQL executables and not a special cygwin/mingw build. You do, however, have to compile winpty, but that was simple and painless, and worked as per their documentation for me.
Note: This also solved my issue with several other native Windows console applications, namely Python and Mercurial with OpenSSH.
Reinstall cygwin and during reinstallation search for mysql in packages, install the mysql client and then it would work fine.
