Dumb Q about command line

[Ike]

I know this is a stupid question, but for the life of me I cannot find it in
the online docs. If I am running MySQL as a Windows Service, how do I obtain
the command line? Thanks, Ike

Start|run|mysql

or Start|run|c:\mysql\bin\mysql

Of if you mean what options mysql is started with, maybe configure it
using c:\my.cnf?

P.S. I'm not a Windows user but hopefully the above will point you in the
right direction if it's not absolutely correct.

Cheers,
Andy

The mysql engine uses an executable either named "mysqld.exe" or
something similar based on which form of mysql you are running. The
command line interface program is mysql.exe.

go to the dos prompt (start/run... type "cmd")

navigate to where your mysql bin folder is

type mysql -u<user> -p
