MySql command prompt on Mac OSX

[Goofy]

I'm using xampp for Mac OSX and I can't work out how to get the MySql command prompt up so I can view my database etc using the command prompt. Anyone got any tips?

You need to add the mysql binary to your command path. There are two ways to do this. As a temporary fix:

mymachine:~ me$ PATH=$PATH:/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/bin; \
export PATH

permanent fix:

mymachine:~ me$ cd
mymachine:~ me$ vi .bash_profile
<add>

# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:.
# use xampp versions of PHP over OS X installed
PATH=/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/bin:$PATH

export PATH
<save the file and quit>
mymachine:~ me$ source .bash_profile
