> i think that is the fastest and best way to migrate a DB to a new server! Except that your mysql password is now in your history?

  Isn't this what history -d is for? I always delete passwords and important information from my bash history.

  Just put a space before you execute the command, then it doesn't get saved in history. Alternatively, delete it from your history file as the other commenter suggests.

    I don't have a box to test this on right now, but you might have to set HISTCONTROL=ignorespace for that to work.

      At least under ZSH (on Ubuntu), I don't appear to have the HISTCONTROL environment variable set and yet it still ignores anything prepended with a space.
