I'm trying to create a database user for Drupal, but am not having any
luck. Help for a MySQL newb is very much appreciated.
This is on jessie with MySQL 5.5.
Try this:
$ mysql -h localhost -u user -p db_name
The '-p' indicates that you wish to be prompted for the password and
db_name is the name of the database you wish to connect to.
The choice of 'user' as your username might be problematic in some
circumstances since that is a reserved word in SQL.
