Access mysql remote database from command line

Question

I have a server with Rackspace. I want to access the database from my local machine command line.

I tried like:

mysql -u username -h my.application.com         


        

Answer 1

Try this command mysql -uuser -hhostname -PPORT -ppassword.

I faced a similar situation and later when mysql port for host was entered with the command, it was solved.
