Below, you are going to mysql cli and immediately using the db named dbName. 1mysql --defaults-file=/path/to/credentials.ini dbName where credentials.ini has this format: 1[client] 2host=<replace_with_servername_or_ip> 3user=<replace_with_db_user> 4password=<replace_with_db_password> Of course, there are other security precautions you could take, not just the above but it's a good start.
