The command line tool mysql currently has three modes of operation WRT to handling the -p command line argument: 1. No -p provided at all. Unfortunately, only the first and second mode of operation can be automated using $HOME/.my.cnf. I'd like to propose a new option for .my.cnf, called password-prompt, so I can specify that I always want to be asked for my password. |

If you just want to be always asked for password, you can put password without an argument into the client section of the cnf file. If you are trying to solve some other problem, please clarify as requested above. |
