title: Pasting SQL into the MySQL command line
body: <p>I have an application that is defining some SQL code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mySql = "SELECT     
              sq.question, 
              qs.title, 
              sq.id as question_id, 
              sq.type,
              qs.id as option_id, 
              sri.title as rankTitle,
              sri.id as rankId,
              sfi.title as formTitle,
              sfi.id as formId,
              sq.sub_type,
              sq.sort_order
  FROM        survey_questions as sq 
  LEFT JOIN   question_suboptions as qs
  ON          sq.id = qs.question_id 
  LEFT JOIN   survey_rankingitems as sri
  ON          sq.id = sri.question_id
  LEFT JOIN   survey_formitems as sfi
  ON          sq.id = sfi.question_id
  WHERE       sq.survey_id = #{@surveyId}
  ORDER BY    sq.sort_order"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like to paste this code (everything between the double quotes) in the MySQL command line, change the one parameter and execute it, but I have run into an issue where for every line above MySQL will display:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Display all 1450 possibilities? (y or n)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>And then 1450 different available commands. If I remove all linebreaks and tabs then I can paste in, but that is time consuming and a pain. Is there a way that I can simply paste in the above code, edit it and then execute it as a single unit?</p>
