Hi Lian, I am going to take a guess that your full execution line looks as follows:
$mysql -u root -h localhost -p yourpwd If this is true then MySQL will give you prompt: $Enter password: yourpwd And the mysql will return $Error 1049(42000) Unkown database 'yourpwd' This happens because, while one can type either "-u root" or "-uroot" in case of password it must be "-pyourpwd" no spaces between the switch "-p" and your password.

But when i type in :mysql -u root -h localhost -p, and then put the correct password, I can not enter the database. I took almost one week to deal with this issue. But .... Can you help me? May be the mysql version problem? 致 礼！ 李彦 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-08-29 -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
