Why is there no space in the MySQL password parameter?

Read Original

This article analyzes the MySQL command-line behavior where the password parameter (-p) cannot have a space before the password value, unlike other parameters. It explains the official reasoning: because the password is optional and the program prompts for it if omitted, allowing a space would create ambiguity for parsing subsequent arguments.
