How can I access MySQL from the command line?
mysql -u <mysql_user> -p<mysqlp***> -h <mysqlserver>
By default you would use the root user with no p***word if connecting to localhost only. While it does simplify administration it is also a security risk if your server ever gets violated as anyone with a shell can have full access to your MySQL server.
