Hello: I have installed the mySQL package for Debian and it all
works fine. However when I am logged on as any user
(including root) and at the shell prompt and I type in “mysql”. It automatically goes into the “mysql> “ prompt, meaning
that it doesn’t ask me for a password. It is as though it recognizes the
user that is logged in to the system and uses that account to work with in
mySQL. Is this normal for the installation? I mean should it not be prompting
me for a password first although I am already logged on to Debian? I ask this because I used to work with mysql
on OpenBSD and although I realize that BSD and Debian
are different I thought that the mysql package would
still act somewhat the same in that aspect of asking you for the password as to
the account you want to log in as. I do get prompted for the password when I type: “mysql –u username –p” However shouldn’t I just get prompted for the password
whenever I just type “mysql” alone? Or at
least not get logged in automatically. Thanx for your
help in advance. |
