Description:
As formerly described in bug http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=16557 for the mysql-5.0.18 version.
When i built mysql from source without(!) --without-readline, the 5.0.21 mysql command-line
client saves its readline history in ~/.mysql_history.TMP but does not rename it
to ~/.mysql_history . This means that no history is saved between sessions.
