WampServer

i am trying to log into mysql from my command line.

i went to this directory:

cd c/wamp/bin/mysql/mysql5.6.17/bin

i then did this:

mysql -u root -p

but i got this error message:

-bash: mysql: command not found


would appreciate any advice

The `-bash` bit makes me think you are not doing this from a windows command prompt.

What are you using for your command windows?
