First, let me say I love the dbishell (dbish)! The only problem that I have is that I use MySQL a lot, and there is a command I use to generate reports -

select into outfile '/path/to/filename'

The dbish interprets the word after the first slash as one of it's commands. This forces me to use the mysql command shell when I want to generate a textfile report. Is there a way to escape that, or if not modify the dbish program to allow for escapes, or some other workaround?

Also, how would I modify the dbish program to have it write commands to a file like mysql does,(the .mysql_history) so I could get queries that lasted over sessions?
