Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting mysqldump script without hardcode password Post 302270313 by frank_rizzo on Sunday 21st of December 2008 01:08:15 AM

I don't think you can get around it. This is much better then using the password on the command line. The file would be protected so only the mysql user and root could read it. It is not uncommon for applications to hard code passwords.

having said that, you might be able to setup a user with no password, but only allow connections via localhost. This might help your embedded password issue but now anyone who can run things locally can get root on the database without a password.
