MySQL command options

So I use MySQL for testing from time to time and I always get frustrated at logging in via command line.

Is it option “P” or option “p”, “U” or “u”. Long story short I chuckled at the option for -U or --i-am-a-dummy. So if you can’t figure out how to log in, maybe you are just a dummy like myself.

Which itself is apparently is a synonym for option --safe-updates
