Answer 1

syntax to open mysql on window terminal as:

mysql -u -p

e.g. mysql -uroot -proot

where: -u followed by username of your database , which you provided at the time of installatin and -p followed by password

Assumption: Assuming that mysql bin already included in path environment variable. if not included in path you can go till mysql bin folder and then run above command. if you want to know how to set path environment variable
