Hi Eric, Thanks for your prompt answer! Actually, it doesn't work since mysql interprets backslashes as options, even between quotes. The value of my `org-babel-temporary-directory' is "/var/folders/9E/9EMu+g0oHBSrq-h9sX6i1U+++TM/-Tmp-/babel-86766893", but "+"'s are escaped with a backslash at some stage.
