Yes, I have; more efficiently it should be:
prompt=’\U (\d) > ‘

Just for the giggle factor, I’m defining it in my .bashrc now though:

if [ -x /usr/bin/rlwrap ]; then
alias mysql=”/usr/bin/rlwrap -a –prompt-colour=’1;33′ /usr/bin/mysql”
export MYSQL_PS1=”\U [`hostname`] (\d) > ”
else
export MYSQL_PS1=’\u@\h (\d) > ‘
fi

Due to running a lower version of rlwrap, I’ve had to define the prompt colour differently.

Though, in the prompt specification for mysql, do you have the \h and \u the wrong way around? Very neat!
