mysql -h hostname [-u username -p -P port] -D databasename
The -D flag isn't even necessary. The command above is equivalent to this one:
mysql -h hostname [-u username -p -P port] databasename

If you're writing your own client, you chould check the API documentation for the language you're using.
If you're using a completely different client, check the docs for it.
Be one with your manual. Or be one with your many manuals. I leave it to you to figure out that existential math.
