If you are not using Sequel Pro, you’ll need to use some other interface to MySQL, or use the command-line “mysql” application that comes with MySQL. With the Mac OS X installation, the mysql install is in /usr/local/mysql. You’ll use the mysql command line by going to the terminal (in your Utilities folder) and typing:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql –h localhost –u username –p
Replace “username” with the username you created or were given by your database administrator.
The big difference between the statements in this tutorial and what you’ll type is that you need to always end your statements with semicolons.
