Pass parameters to MySQL script

Question

I have a MySQL script file named query1.sql which contains:

select * FROM $(tblName) LIMIT 10;

I am in MySQL console, how do I

Answer 1

The advanced solution for use bash variables via mysql variables like @tblName in order to INSERT values into specific table:

The core file insert.preps included prepared statements procedural (SET > PREPARE > EXECUTE > DEALLOCATE):

SET @query = CONCAT("INSERT INTO ", @tblName, " (id, time, file, status) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)");
PREPARE stmt FROM @query;
SET @id = '0';
EXECUTE stmt USING @id, @time, @file, @status;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;

*SET @id = '0'; in the file predefined because id is usually is INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY. It will auto-assign proper id for all lines.

Invoking it in the shell or in bash script with using variables:

mysql --defaults-extra-file=<(echo $'[client]\npassword='"$db_password") --user=$db_user $db_name -e "
     SET @tblName = '$table';
     SET @time = '$timeStamp';
     SET @file = '$file';
     SET @status = '$status';
`cat /path/to/insert.preps`"
