Answer by dogbane for How to feed mysql queries from bash

Try using a here document like this:

CREATE USER 'testuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY  'jakdJxct8W';
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS 'testuser_dev' DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON  'testuser_dev' . * TO  'testuser'@'localhost';
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS 'testuser_qa' DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON  'testuser_qa' . * TO  'testuser'@'localhost';

Alternatively place all you commands in text file and run it:

mysql --host=localhost --user=user --password=password < commands.sql
