In windows command line, you can acccess XAMPP MySQL from the command line with
C:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysql.exe -u root --password
However, the equivalent command in Cygwin produces a stalled terminal:
/cygdrive/c/xampp/mysql/bin/mysql.exe -u root --password=
How do you access XAMPP's MySQL from Cygwin (without installing MySQL through Cygwin's package manager)?
