Re: MySQL 5.6 Command Line Client Won't Open

Open a Windows command prompt.
Navigate to the mysql\bin folder

c:\>cd \Program Files\Mysql\MySQL Server 5.6\bin

Now type mysql -uroot -p
c:\Program Files\Mysql\MySQL Server 5.6\bin>mysql -uroot -p

enter root's password when prompted.

If you want to be able to type "mysql" from anywhere, then you'll need to add the mysql\bin folder to the system path. Google is your friend.

Good luck,
Barry.
