My MySql has a user root and blank password (which is default). I am using windows command line in my local machine. Now I would like to use below command with blank password.
mysqldump -u root magentotwo > magentotwo2.sql;
When I use above command, CMD is asking for password and I press Enter. Then CMD showing error. How can I use that command??

I installed PostgreSQL on my Mac (from their website) and set it up to have it run on my terminal using psql command. However, when I use psql command, it asks for password for my Mac user and when I enter the password, it returns password authentication error. I only have postgres set up as a user. When I run psql -U postgres and enter the password, I am connected to the database.
How can I change the default user to postgres instead of my Mac user (jp) so I can just use psql command? I have also included what I have in .bash_profile file.
I also encountered the same problem, but it seems that setting the environment variable export PGUSER = "WUTONK" in the terminal is useless， It still takes my local user name as the default connection user, even in the account where I have not registered this name in the PostgreSQL
I have installed my Postgresql database on a Windows server environment. I'd like to schedule a job using Windows Task scheduler to run every night so I need to run the following command without asking for password:
psql -U myUserName-d myDBName -c "select MyFunctionName()"
When I run the above query in my cmd shell, it asks me for password. When I enter the password manually, the function is correctly run.
So my solution is to read from the pgpass.conf file so no password is required.
Here are the things I have done to achieve this:
I created the pgpass.conf file in a directory I created in the %appdata% (AppData\Roaming\postgresql to be precise).
Here are the contents of this file:
localhost:5432:myDBName:myUserName:myPassword
I have also tried with the value 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost above.
I, then, added the an environment variable (in the user variables for administrator list) called PGPASSFILE and gave it the pgpass.conf location.
;C:\Users\administrator\AppData\Roaming\postgresql\pgpass.conf
Finally I stopped and restarted my Postgres service on Windows services and re-ran the command. But it is still asking for password.
How can I let my command know from where to read the password?
If you don't want to set the PGPASSFILE environment variable, put the password file in the standard location %APPDATA%\postgresql\pgpass.conf as described by the documentation.
i have installed Mysql on Windows7, i used mysql with mysql command line client & i also use Mysqldump in windows cmd, & it was working without any problem. But today, i tried to export database using mysqldump with this command in cmd
mysqldump –u root -p mypassword db_name > f:\mydb.sql
i tried many other commands and i always see error
Access Denied for User 'ODBC'#'localhost' (using password: yes) when trying to connect
as you can see, in mysqldump command i am using root as user then why i get user ODBC error ? one more thing, using mysql command line client i am still using mysql normally without any problem using root as user. i also tried to login in cmd with this command
mysql –u root -p mypassword
but still same error. and my password is 100% correct. kindly tell me how to solve this problem. Thanks
Have you tried storing pass in the cfg file? http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/password-security-user.html
try from command line:
mysql -u root -p
and then, when you are being asked for password, just type it.
Try the same with mysqldump command without typing your password after -p.
I am using below command to open putty through windows command prompt:
PUTTY.EXE -ssh -pw "mypass" user#IP -m C:/my.sh -t
Where my.sh mentioned in above command file contains:
sudo su - rootuser
After executing the command, putty console is opened and it prompts for password.
Is there any way where I can provide this password automatically without typing it?
There's a bit of a horrible workaround using Expect and embedding a password.
This is a bad idea.
As an alternative:
Configure sudo to allow NOPASSWD.
Login directly as root using public-private key auth.
Both these introduce a degree of vulnerability, so should be used with caution - but any passwordless auth has this flaw.
Finally, after struggling for almost whole day, I got the way to get this working.
Below command can be executed from windows machine:
PLINK.EXE -t -ssh -pw "password" user#IP /home/mydir/master.sh
master.sh file is located on remote machine. And this file contains below command to execute script with sudo command without prompting password.
echo password | sudo u user -S script.sh
Here, password should be replaced with your password. user should be replaced with your actual user and script.sh is the script on remote machine that you want to fire after sudo login.
I'm trying to write a simple script to mysqldump some dbs. I'm getting stuck on the password prompt though.
I'd like to just have a config file that contains all the db creds, then the script can use those to connect to the db.
Problem is a command such as:
system('mysqldump -u username -p')
then prompts for
Enter password:
even when I do something like:
system('mysqldump -u username -p some_password')
I still get prompted for the password...
I don't do a whole lot of scripting in Ruby so I'm at a loss as to how my script can automatically enter this info so the user running the script doesn't have to.
If you already know the password why aren't you passing it to the command?
system('mysqldump -u username --password=mypassword')
you need to delete space after -p
system('mysqldump -uusername -psome_password')
or without password just
system('mysqldump -uusername')
or
system('mysqldump -uusername --password=')
you could always check the application that uses the database for the password, check the config file file for the connection string. Failing that change the password in the database.
