Just to make your script more readable  maybe use this proc   DELIMITER     DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS printf  CREATE PROCEDURE printf thetext TEXT  BEGIN    select thetext as       END       DELIMITER     Now you can just do   call printf  Counting products that have missing short description

I don t know if this helps   suppose you want to run a sql script  test sql  from the command line   mysql  lt  test sql   and the contents of test sql is something like   SELECT   FROM information schema SCHEMATA     echo  I like to party        The console will show something like   CATALOG NAME    SCHEMA NAME            DEFAULT CHARACTER SET NAME                def    information schema     utf8          def    mysql                  utf8          def    performance schema     utf8          def    sys                    utf8 I like to party      So you can execute terminal commands inside an sql statement by just using     provided the script is run via a command line       terminal commands
