Got two little problems with this interface. The worse one is that I have a file with a blank line (i have removed the SQL to demonstrate!). Tried to use mysql but get this

C:\Users\edheal\Desktop>mysql -e "blank.sql" -h localhost -u test -p
Enter password: *
ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 1: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the ma
nual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use n
ear 'blank.sql' at line 1
C:\Users\edheal\Desktop>cat -v "blank.sql"
^M

C:\Users\edheal\Desktop>

What could possibly be the problem? It is just a blank line!

The second – just me being lazy during development. Is it possible to not have a password on the account? Seems that the minimum is one character.

    Try to use 

    mysql -h localhost -u test -pYourPasword < "blank.sql"

    One some standard installations, the root user does not have any password. But it is not possible to set an existing password to “empty”.
