Note that because of the speed penalty you get when opening every table,
we have not enabled this by default even if you have compiled
@strong{MySQL} with support for this. To enable symlinks you should put
in your @code{my.cnf} or @code{my.ini} file the following entry:
@example
[mysqld]
use-symbolic-links
@end example
In @strong{MySQL} 4.0 we will enable symlinks by default. Then you
should instead use the @code{skip-symlink} option if you want to
disable this.

@strong{MySQL} users and they privileges are normally created with the
@code{GRANT} command. @xref{GRANT}.
When you login to a @strong{MySQL} server with a command line client you
should specify the password with @code{--password=your-password}.
@xref{Connecting}.
@example
mysql --user=monty --password=guess database_name
@end example
If you want the client to prompt for a password, you should use
@code{--password} without any argument
@example
mysql --user=monty --password database_name
@end example
or the short form:
@example
mysql -u monty -p database_name
@end example
Note that in the last example the password is @strong{NOT} 'database_name'.
If you want to use the -p option to supply a password you should do like this:
@example
mysql -u monty -pguess database_name
@end example
On some system the library call that @strong{MySQL} uses to prompt for a
password will automaticly cut the password to 8 characters. Internally
@strong{MySQL} doesn't have any limit for the length of the password.
