You can avoid re-entering mysql command line password by putting the queries into a file.
In my case, the later queries are not determined until after the first queries have finished.
This happens in a non-interactive script so running a mysql console is not an option.
Is there any notion of a session for mysql command line interactions? Or can I set it up to listen for commands on a local unix socket (the output is required to be returned)? Or something like that?
