   This chapter provides a brief overview of the MySQL command-line
    programs provided by Oracle Corporation. It also discusses the
    general syntax for specifying options when you run these programs.
    Most programs have options that are specific to their own operation,
    but the option syntax is similar for all of them. Finally, the
    chapter provides more detailed descriptions of individual programs,
    including which options they recognize.
