How to open MySql console in Ubuntu

Question

I have installed mysql on my system. I am following a tutorial in which the commands are executing in mysql console (mysql>)

How can I switch from my terminal to mysql console?

Answer 1

sudo service mysqld restart
mysql -u <username> root -p <password>

Replace <username> and <password> with the username and password for your mysql. If you have not specified it, leave it blank.
