Powerful open-source relational database management system
MySQL is the world's most popular open-source relational database management system, powering many of the world's most accessed applications, including Amazon, Netflix, Uber, and many more. It delivers a multi-threaded, multi-user, and robust SQL database server for mission-critical, heavy-load production systems. MySQL is fast, reliable, and powerful.
Commands:
mysql-strict.mysqlmysql-strict.mysqladminmysql-strict.mysqldumpmysql-strict.mysqlimport
Tip: For convenience, you can create an alias using snapd's alias feature.
sudo snap alias mysql-strict.mysql mysql
Note: By default, this snap uses the auth_socket plugin, similar to the deb version. Therefore, sudo is required to authenticate the MySQL root user.
sudo mysql
To log in with a password instead (using mysql -u root -p), execute the following SQL statement (change YOUR_NEW_PASS below with a strong password):
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH caching_sha2_password BY 'YOUR_NEW_PASS';
