I'm looking for some insight from someone who has more knowledge of the terminal app and specifically using it with MySQL.

I dloaded the a package installer, set file permissions and all that good stuff and tried to open the preloaded database mysql using the standard 'mysql mysql -u root'.

Every time i log in all the MySQL info flashes past and I'm left with a new % prompt in tcsh.

OK lets try just typing 'mysql' this brings me to thes standard -> mysql prompt but of course if I try to 'create database dumb_db'
I get the cannot connect to localhost error, because obviously I have no permissions.

Very confusing.null
