This seems like it should be obvious and/or easy to find, but I can’t find it anywhere. When running the "mysql" command-line program under Windows, how do you clear the history of previously-typed commands?
This is a good question. From my search efforts and testing, it seems that a .mysql_history file only exists on unix/linux based OSs. It seems like on Windows the history file only exists while logged into the mysql monitor on the command line. If you log back into it, the previous commands are gone.
I don’t know if this helps you at all, but that’s what it looks like to me.
I had thought (hoped) that might be the case, but when I logged out and back in, all my previous commands were still there.
Did you actually find a history file on Windows? I looked in the App Data directories in the Docs & Settings folder and couldn’t find one.
My commands were not there after entering the mysql monitor...
I searched the entire drive for *mysql* and *hist* but I did not find any relevant files. On my linux machine, I had .mysql_history in my home directory.
Sorry for reopening such an old thread, but I came across it when googling for the issue... so maybe this answer will be of some use to people having the same issue:
as of what I found out, there is no history file in Windows, but the commands seem to be cached as long as the console window is left open, so once you open a new terminal they should be gone.
