Fixed in 8 0 19  Previously  the system     command for the mysql command-line client worked only for Unix and Unix-like systems  It now works on Windows as well  For example  system cls or   cls may be used to clear the screen

Well  if you installed MySql Server e g  Version 5 5  which has it s folder located in      C  Program Files MySQL MySQL Server 5 5 bin   The best way would be to include it in your paths    First run sysdm cpl applet from run i e  WinKey   R Navigate to Advanced -  Environment Variables Select PATH and Click Edit  Scroll to the end of the text  and add   C  Program Files MySQL MySQL Server 5 5 bin  without quotes  Notice the semicolon starting the text  this should only be added if it s not already there     Now you can just call      start  b  wait mysql -u root -p   via command prompt   To clear the screen now  you can just exit in mysql  amp  call cls  Kinda trickish hack but does the job   If you re using WAMP or other tool  it s even easier   Open command prompt and type      C  wamp mysql bin mysql -u root -p   Enter as normal  then whenever you want to clear screen  do      exit or quit   And then clear using DOS      cls   You can easily re-enter by pressing up twice to get your mysql call command

This is what I did to get around this bug  The windows console  cmd  is just not worth using for anything other than some simple commands  So the following is what I did   Installed Cygwin  Go here  It is pretty straight forward to install  You can watch this video  It explains very easily how to install cygwin  Make sure when you select the packages that you want to install includes Mintt  it is basically a better shell or cmd  and mysql client package    Once you are done installing it  you should add the bin folder from cygwin in your PATH Environmental Variables The above video explains that as well   Now You will have an icon on the desktop for cygwin  Open it up and login to mysql using the normal commands  You will need to put the ip of the mysql server in the command to make it work  I use the following logging in MySQL which was installed through wamp  mysql -u root -p -h 127 0 0 1    You can add more arguments in there if you want  Once you get in mysql just press ctrl   L and you will clear the screen
