The mysql program provides a curses-based interface to the SQL-based database server daemon, mysqld(1). Full fuller documentation, refer to the HTML documents installed with the package. OPTIONS
-B|--batch Print results with a tab as separator, each row on a new line. -#|--debug=logfile Employ the specified debug log. -T|--debug-info Print debug information upon exiting. -e | --exec=command Execute the specified command and quit (--batch is implicit). -f|--force Continue even if the face of a SQL error. -?|--help Display a help message and exit. -h|--host=hostname Connect to the specified host. -n|--unbuffered Flush the buffer after each query. -p|--password[=pwd] Employ the specified password when connecting to the database server. If a password is not supplied, it will be requested interac- tively. -P|--port=pnum Employ the specified port number for connecting to the database server. -q|--quick Do not cache the result; print it row by row. This may slow down the server if the output is suspended. -r|--raw Write fields without conversion. (used with --batch). -s|--silent Silent mode: reduce the amount of output. -S|--socket=snum Employ the specified socket file for connecting to the database server. -u|--user=uname Employ the specified user name for logging in to the server. -v|--verbose Verbose mode: write more Specifying this option twice produces a tabular output format. -V|--version Print the mysql version number and exit. -w|--wait Wait and retry if the database server connection is down.
