Just quote the rest of the command args like this
find /path/* -name "*.sql" -exec mysql "-ppassword -h <" {} \;

Don't use a "*" in the search path. Unless you have a directory
"/path" your search won't find anything. You have to use "/home/path"
or, if you're already located in "/home", "path" by itself.

Same path problem.

"*" and path problem.

Cheers, Peter
