How do you run a single query through mysql from the command line?

Question

I'm looking to be able to run a single query on a remote server in a scripted task.

For example, intuitively, I would imagine it would go something like:

mysql -uroot -p -hslavedb.mydomain.com mydb_production "select * from users;"

Answer 1

Try the below query:

mysql -u <user> -p -e "select * from schema.table"
