passing regular expressions to mysql via $1
hi, unix and mysql gurus.
i'm trying to create a simple ksh script that accesses the mysql system database table, user. the idea is that the user can call the script with a regular expression to see some users, or call it without any options to see all users. this is what i have so far:
*****************************************************
mysql -BCNnqs --disable-pager -u system -pmanager << EOJ
use mysql;
set @regex = '$1';
select user from user where user REGEXP @regex;
quit
EOJ
*****************************************************
the problem, of course, is that if $1 is null, i get this error:
==> ERROR 1139 (42000) at line 8: Got error 'empty (sub)expression' from regexp
i changed my set statement to this, but it didn't work:
*****************************************************
set @regex = if(@regex is null, '^[a-z]','$1');
*****************************************************
does anyone know what i'm doing wrong? i'd appreciate your input. thanks.

pmdamysql
PMDAMYSQL(1) Performance Co-Pilot PMDAMYSQL(1)
NAME
pmdamysql - MySQL database PMDA
DESCRIPTION
pmdamysql is a Performance Co-Pilot PMDA which extracts live performance data from a running MySQL database.
INSTALLATION
pmdamysql uses a configuration file from (in this order):
o /etc/pcpdbi.conf
o $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/mysql/mysql.conf
This file can contain overridden values (Perl code) for the settings listed at the start of pmdamysql.pl, namely:
o database name (see DBI(3) for details)
o database user name
o database pass word
Once this is setup, you can access the names and values for the mysql performance metrics by doing the following as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/mysql
# ./Install
If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/mysql
# ./Remove
pmdamysql is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be executed directly. The Install and Remove scripts notify pmcd(1) when the agent is
installed or removed.
Binary Status values in text
Some of the status values are in the form of YES/NO or ON/OFF.
Since these cannot be intepreted by tools like PMIE, they have been duplicated with a _num extension and the values of 1 (YES/ON) or 0
(NO/OFF).
Eg:
o mysql.slave_status.slave_io_running
o mysql.slave_status.slave_io_running_num
FILES
/etc/pcpdbi.conf
configuration file for all PCP database monitors
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/mysql/mysql.conf
configuration file for pmdamysql
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/mysql/Install
installation script for the pmdamysql agent
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/mysql/Remove
undo installation script for the pmdamysql agent
$PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/mysql.log
default log file for error messages from pmdamysql
