Help understanding how the connection works

[Gonçalo Silva Dias]

Hi ppl,

 

I’m trying to access to mysql server by telnet. When I do like “telnet
localhost 3306” if I write something the error is “Bad handshake”. Well can
anyone tell me what info do I need to send to the server to establish a
connection with mysql server? So I can execute some queries?

Hi, you cant connect to mysql with telnet, the service running in 3306 
supports a dbms specific protocol so you need to use the mysql command aka 
mysql client to connect to mysql and execute any sql query.
