1.19 Using Copy and Paste as a mysql Input Source
1.19.1 Problem
You want to take advantage
of your graphical user interface (GUI) to make
mysql easier to use.
1.19.2 Solution
Use copy and paste to supply mysql with queries to
execute. In this way, you can take advantage of your
GUI's capabilities to augment the terminal interface
presented by mysql.
1.19.3 Discussion
Copy and paste is useful in a windowing environment that allows you
to run multiple programs at once and transfer information between
them. If you have a document containing queries open in a window, you
can just copy the queries from there and paste them into the window
in which you're running mysql.
This is equivalent to typing the queries yourself, but often quicker.
For queries that you issue frequently, keeping them visible in a
separate window can be a good way to make sure
they're always at your fingertips and easily
accessible.
