I have used following command to connect MySQL Server 8.0 in Windows command prompt.

C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin>mysql -u root -p my_db
Enter password: ****

or

C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin>mysql -u root -p my_db -h localhost
Enter password: ****

Here my_db is schema name.
