每个控制台的MySQL导入转储

Question

i try to import a sql dump via console to a database:

mysql -u admin -p password -D targetdbname < /var/www/vhosts/domainname.de/httpdocs/sp.sql

Then i had to provide password,- but the password i input is not valid... Access denied for user admin@localhost (using password: Yes)

But

mysql -u admin -p password targetdbname

works, password correct.

??

Answer 1

You should just write -p and don't specify a password at all, because it is not secure at all.

Eg if you are on linux then users can just execute the command history and et voilà... they see your password in cleartext.
