re: How to clear screen command prompt for mysql in windows XP ?

Hey.

The Windows MySQL CLI client uses the Windows CLI (cmd.exe), so I guess you could use the command that clears that: CLS

This won't work from within the MySQL application tho, you would have to exit, clear the screen, and then log in to MySQL again.

I don't know of a way to do this from within the MySQL client, and I doubt it even exists. (Price of working on Windows ;-)
