"It is important to know what the '>, ">, and `> prompts signify, because if you mistakenly enter an unterminated string, any further lines you type appear to be ignored by mysql—including a line containing QUIT. This can be quite confusing, especially if you do not know that you need to supply the terminating quote before you can cancel the current query."

Description: mysql> select * from table where name = " "> \c "> exit "> exit "> \c "> ^C^C^C^X^X^Z [3]+ Stopped How to repeat: See command above
