Hello everyone,

I am managing 2 proxmox host nodes with about 50 containers running on both, each one of it running Mysql. In order to use it in a script, i would need to list databases names of each containers' mysql.

To do that, i tried to use :
#Firstly
vzctl exec 152 mysql -u root --password=xxxxxxxx -e "SHOW DATABASES;"
ERROR 1049 (42000): Unknown database 'DATABASES'

#and then
root@myserver:# vzctl exec 152 /bin/bash --login -c "mysql -u root --password=xxxxxxxxxx -e 'SHOW DATABASES;'"
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)


even though :
root@myserver# vzctl enter 152
entered into CT 152
root@CT152:/# mysql -u root --password=xxxxxxxx -e "SHOW DATABASES;"
+--------------------+
| Database           |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| mysql              |
| mybdd1             |
| mybdd2             |
+--------------------+


I don't know if this is a bug, or this is a normal behavior of the system, but if it is not a bug, I could really not guess why this is happening.

So does someone knows if doing this is possible ? If so could you tell me how I can ?

Anyway does also someone can explain this behavior of vzctl to me ?

It would be great !
If this is not a normal thing happening on my server, I will post an issue on BugZilla, but I don't want to spam the platform.

Thank you very much in advance !

The first one works for me if you put quotes around the whole mysql command:

vzctl exec NNN 'mysql -u root --password=XXXXXX -e "show databases;"'

That or you could try escaping inner quotes with:

vzctl exec NNN "mysql -e \"SHOW DATABASES\""

Hello !

Thank you, it was it !
I didnt't even try to put quotes because nothing is mentionned about it in the doc/man, and basic commands (such as ls, cat, etc.) work fine without.
I will know that now !

So, issue resolved Smile

Have a good day !

Rémi

ps : I'm not sure but I think there isn't a "solved" option for OP in this forum, or I didn't find it. If I am wrong, please tell me and I will change the status !
