Please don't add feature requests in bugs db. A few workarounds though, which are not quite same thing, but maybe useful: 1.) my_print_defaults group_name | xargs mysql ... 2.) create another defaults file(s) and use --defaults-file option. Regards, Jani
Description: When using MySQL command-line client, you can specify the MYSQL_READ_DEFAULT_FILE by using the --defaults-file=# command-line parameter, but you cannot specify MYSQL_READ_DEFAULT_GROUP. This would be very useful! How to repeat: N/A Suggested fix: Add command line option --defaults-group=#, overriding the default ("mysql" ?).
