mysql-client-5.1 readline is not working anymore
January 5th, 2010
$ mysql –version
mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.37, for debian-linux-gnu (i486) using EditLine wrapper
- vi-mode is not working
- emacs mode is not full supported
To solve this problem use the following trick:
Install rlwrap:
sudo apt-get install rlwrap
Set a alias in your profile/bashrc
alias mysql='rlwrap -a mysql'
All readline features should now work again... Happy mysqlvimming :)
Vi IMproved
