It's the MySQL server, not SQL Server which is Microsoft's RDBMS.

Error code 2 means a file it is looking for, probably my.ini, isn't there. Running the server without a defaults-file argument works only if my.ini is where the server expects it.

To start MySQL server from the command line , you should also provide a defaults-file argument for where the server should look for my.ini. For more info see https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/option-files.html.

It usually easier to just start the MySQL service: Press the Win key, R, specify services.msc, right-click on MySQL57, start the service.
