XAMPP and MySQL

I am using XAMPP as a gateway into running my own webserver because it
was the all in one pakage. The only problem I have is that I cannot
access MySQL from the command line and only from phpmyadmin. Phpmyadmin
is a nice GUI app but I would like to be able to type my SQL from the
command line does anyone know how to setup XAMPP to run MySQL from the
command line.

I am running the linux version on Suse 10.0 professional.

Thanks

You should be able to run it with the mysql command. What happens when you try
this?

You should find the mySQL client tool in /opt/lampp/bin/ or whereever
you installed LAMPP.

If I go to /opt/lampp/bin i have a mysql entry that has the following
attributes -rwxr-xr-x, but when i type mysql I get command not found i
have tried using mysql -up and other combinations but none seem to
work. I am using bash shell and running Suse 10.0

Thanks for any help

If you're in that directory and the directory is not in the path, you need

./mysql

the account I was given.
