It's not impossible that some of the oldest commands in the history might have been such grants, but most of the history was more mundane select and update queries - albeit ones with enough complexity to be a pain to construct. > More likely would be that perhaps you had the mysql client wrapped > with a shell script that changed MYSQL_HISTFILE to something other > than ~/.mysql_history ? Not as far as I know. I haven't intentionally written any such wrapper; as far as I know, what I was running was the version of /usr/bin/mysql which is provided by mysql-client 5.5.44-0+deb8u1. I also still have a backup copy of a (much) older ~/.mysql_history, from before this database even existed, at a path and filename which seems to indicate that I copied it from the name ~/.mysql_history. For whatever that's worth. > Thanks for reporting anyway, we'll try and figure this one out. You're quite welcome.
