The MySql database

Syntax
      mysql.exe [OPTIONS] [database]

Key:
   --auto-rehash       Enable automatic rehashing. One doesn't need to use
                       'rehash' to get table and field completion, but startup
                       and reconnecting may take a longer time. Disable with
                       --disable-auto-rehash.
   -A, --no-auto-rehash
                       No automatic rehashing. One has to use 'rehash' to get
                       table and field completion. This gives a quicker start of
                       mysql and disables rehashing on reconnect.
   -B, --batch         Don't use history file. Disable interactive behavior.
                       (Enables --silent.)
   --character-sets-dir=name
                       Directory for character set files.
   --column-type-info  Display column type information.
   -c, --comments      Preserve comments. Send comments to the server. The
                       default is --skip-comments (discard comments), enable
                       with --comments.
   -C, --compress      Use compression in server/client protocol.
   -#, --debug[=#]     This is a non-debug version. Catch this and exit.
   --debug-check       Check memory and open file usage at exit.
   -T, --debug-info    Print some debug info at exit.
   -D, --database=name Database to use.
   --default-character-set=name
                       Set the default character set.
   --delimiter=name    Delimiter to be used.
   -e, --execute=name  Execute command and quit. (Disables --force and history file.)
   -E, --vertical      Print the output of a query (rows) vertically.
   -f, --force         Continue even if we get an SQL error.
   -G, --named-commands
                       Enable named commands. Named commands mean this program's
                       internal commands; see mysql> help . When enabled, the
                       named commands can be used from any line of the query,
                       otherwise only from the first line, before an enter.
                       Disable with --disable-named-commands. 
   --disable-named-commands
                       Disable named commands.
                       This option is disabled by default.
   -g, --no-named-commands
                       Disable named commands. Use \* form only, or use
                       named commands only in the beginning of a line ending
                       with a semicolon (;). Since version 10.9, the client now
                       starts with this option ENABLED by default. Disable with
                       '-G'. Long format commands still work from the first line. 
                       WARNING: option deprecated; use --disable-named-commands instead.

                       Change the value of a variable. Please note that this
                       option is deprecated; you can set variables directly with

   --sigint-ignore     Ignore SIGINT (CTRL-C).
   -o, --one-database  Ignore statements except those that occur while the
                       default database is the one named at the command line.
   -p, --password[=name]
                       Password to use when connecting to server. If password is

                       down the server if the output is suspended. Doesn't use
                       history file.
   -r, --raw           Write fields without conversion. Used with --batch.

Examples

Connect to the database 'ss64database' using the username/password user64/pa55w0rd :

./mysql -u user64 --password=pa55w0rd ss64database

Connect to the same database and run a query, line breaks added for clarity, but this would all be in one command line:

./mysql -u user64 --password=pa55w0rd -e "SELECT ips_Concat3(YEAR(T_log.LogTime),'-',MONTH(T_log.LogTime),'-',DAY(T_log.LogTime)) AS dtm,
                                          CASE T_log.Action WHEN 'file_upload' THEN 'Upload' WHEN 'file_download' THEN 'Download' ELSE
                                          T_log.Action END AS UpDown
                                          FROM T_log 
                                          ORDER BY YEAR(T_log.LogTime),MONTH(T_log.LogTime), DAY(T_log.LogTime)'
                                          " ss64database
