I have to execute MySQL command without entering the MySQL prompt any interaction. For this I have to specify password at command-line , such as
mysql -u 'user' -p'password' command;
Though my user which is root is not having password (checked in mysql.user table) I am unable to use it for running the MySQL commands at commandline and not entering prompt.
I have tried using below things:
mysql -u root 'followed by query'
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
mysql -u root -p 'followed by query'
Prompts for password and when I just press enter it goes into prompt.
Please suggest how to execute this without any interaction (Using Enter key).
Query should be specified with -e option so you should try something like this:
mysql -u root -e 'followed by query'
First of all make sure MySQL user that you are using has access to database that you are trying to connect. To get execute MySQL command with out entering in MySQL prompt Also change your query like below.
mysql --user=mysql_username --password=mysql_password -e "select * from database.table";

I am new to MySQL. My issue is, is that after typing mysql -proot in the terminal I am receiving this error:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
I don't know what i am doing wrong. I did create a password. However I don't really know how to put it in, in combo with this command.
I am using CentOS 6 on my server
It's a typo on the syntax. You need a space between proot. It should be
mysql -p root
instead of
mysql -proot
mysql -proot this command is telling mysql to use root as the password, which I'm assuming is not the password. You need to put a space between the -p switch and the username to be get the interactive password prompt.
mysql -p root
I'm using MySQL 5.0 and I created a new user in my database:
create user 'johann'#'localhost' identified by 'johann22';
grant select on jewellery.customers to 'johann'#'localhost';
Now I'd like to connect as that new user but every time a quit MySQL, the command directly prompt me the password of 'root'
I have already tried to connect with root then connect to as the new user using this code:
-u johann -p johann22;
but it says that I have a syntax error.
-u johann -p johann22; is not an SQL command you can run in the mysql client. Those are command-line options for the mysql client.
So you would run this in your shell (not in the mysql client):
mysql -u johann -pjohann22
Also notice that you must NOT have a space between -p and the password. If you have a space, the -p means to prompt you for a password, then the word following the space (johann22) is the name of the database.
So I am installing snort currently on my ubuntu linux server. I am following this guide here.
At this point, I am at the part in the guide where I am installing Barnyard2 and i need to access my SQL database to save information. linux server is near fresh install with little else on it. When I try to do this part of the guide:
echo "create database snort;" | mysql -u root -p
mysql -u root -p -D snort < ~/snort_src/barnyard2-master/schemas/create_mysql
echo "grant create, insert, select, delete, update on snort.* to \
snort#localhost identified by 'MYSQLSNORTPASSWORD'" | mysql -u root -p
When I run the first line - if I don't enter anything, I get the error message that says:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: NO)
If I do enter something, I get a different error:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
I have tried using this in order to reset my password but the command mysql -u root or any form of command similiar results back in the same error, even when it says the password is probably not required for this command. Does anyone know a way in which I can get this to work?
Why don't you break that down into chunks?
First make the database:
$ mysql -u root -p -e 'CREATE DATABASE `snort`'
Import the barnyard schema
$ mysql -u root -p < ~/snort_src/barnyard2-master/schemas/create_mysql
Now create the user & assign permissions for the snort db to the barnyard user
$ mysql -u root -p -e 'GRANT CREATE, INSERT, SELECT, DELETE, UPDATE ON `snort`.* TO snort#localhost IDENTIFIED BY '[SNORT PASSSWORD]'
The commands in your question are running a local mysql client which assumes to connect to a local database by default. If your database is running on a neighbouring Windows box you will need to rethink your parameters.
mysql -u root -p -h 192.168.0.99
I am trying to connect Zapier to my Database. Zapier has very limited support for this and seem to be going round in circles.
I need to GRANT SELECT to a user on my database with this code;
GRANT SELECT ON my-database-here.my-table-here TO 'user-here'#'ip-address-here' IDENTIFIED BY 'my-password-here';
The error i receive is;
#1044 - Access denied for user 'xxx'#'localhost' to database 'xxxx'
The user has ALL PRIVILEGES but can't seem to get it to work. Any help here could be greatly received.
Thanks
You may need to set up a root account for your MySQL database:
In the terminal type:mysqladmin -u root password 'root password goes here'
And then to invoke the MySQL client:mysql -h localhost -u root -p
you have 2 issues:
1 => mysql -uroot -p should be typed in bash (also known as your terminal) not in MySQL
command-line. You fix this error by typing.
exit
in your MySQL command-line. Now you are back in your bash/terminal command-line.
You have a syntax error:
mysql -uroot -p;
the semicolon in front of -p needs to go. The correct syntax is:
mysql -uroot -p
type the correct syntax in your bash commandline. Enter a password if you have one set up; else just hit the enter button. You should get a response that is similar to this:
I just setup a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 with MySQL 5.6.19. After completing the installation I executed mysql_secure_installation which walked me through some security settings AND had me set a root password. My root password currently contains # and $ symbols. When I try and execute
mysql -u root -pAP#$$Here
I get the following error
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: NO)
Why am I getting this error?
If I run mysql_secure_installation on the command line again and change the root password by removing the # and $ symbols I am able to connect in just fine when I run
mysql -u root -pAPassHere
On related but separate issue, I also tried to connect by issuing the command:
mysql -u root
I was expecting to be prompted for the password, but instead I got the following related error
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: NO)
Why am I not being asked for a password?
Note that some symbols like $ have special meaning in the shell, and the shell expands variable into their values before passing the string to the program.
For example, try this:
$ echo AP#$$Here
AP#6282Here
The $$ is replaced with the process id of the bash shell from which I ran this command. If you want to suppress variable expansion, put the string in single-quotes:
$ echo 'AP#$$Here'
AP#$$Here
This works with the MySQL client too:
$ mysql -u root -p'AP#$$Here'
Note that you must still have no space between -p and the quoted password.
You can also get the MySQL client to prompt you interactively by using -p with no string following:
$ mysql -p
Enter password:
Finally, it may be convenient for you to enter your password in your $HOME/.my.cnf and then you won't have to type it. This also bypasses shell variable expansion, and takes the value from the config file literally.
$ cat >> $HOME/.my.cnf
[client]
user = root
password = AP#$$Here
^D
$$ will be interprepted by the shell as a variable ($$ will return the PID of the current process I think) so you'll want to surround your password in quotes like:
mysql -uroot -p 'foo$$bar'
to be prompted by the password (a more secure option as it won't be stored in your shell's history) connect specifying the password flag but with no value:
mysql -uroot -p
and then you'll be prompted for the password
you'll only get prompted for a password with the -p switch without anything following it. try wrapping your username and passwords with " and using something like this:
mysql --user=root --password="AP#$$Here"
