14.04 - Problem on run mysql with arguments from own script

i have installed xubuntu 16.04 , mysql 5.7 server.

i create simple script name mysql-wrapper:

#!/bin/bash mysql -u myuser -pmypwd mydatabase --table $*

now run command , execute successfully:

mysql-wrapper -e "status"

then try run next command (with space):

mysql-wrapper -e "show tables"

i problem: mysql print me commands, run mysql illegal command.

how can solve issue? or may better use alias?

in ordinary usage, shouldn't have reason using plain $*. should using "$@" (note quotes included):

#!/bin/bash mysql -u myuser -pmypwd mydatabase --table "$@"

only "$@" script arguments pe passed as-is command, safe field splitting , globbing.

to see difference, run script containing

#!/bin/bash printf "%s\n" $* printf "%s\n" $@ printf "%s\n" "$*" printf "%s\n" "$@"

with various arguments.
