Can't run mysql from an Emacs shell buffer

When I try to run the 'mysql' command inside an Emacs shell buffer, it just sits there and never prints the "mysql> " prompt. Any idea how I can get the 'mysql' executable to work inside an Emacs shell buffer?

Emacs shell is a dumb terminal. mysql does not run under such terminal. You could use M-x sql-mysql to run mysql under Emacs, or, use M-x term to start eterm under emacs which can launch mysql without problems.
