<p>There are two ways to do it. Both are basically the same, but one just makes it a lot easier. We&#039;ll go over the harder one first.</p>
<p><b>First Method</b>:</p>
<p>Start the command prompt, and cd to the xampp directory. It&#039;ll usually be something like:<br />
<code>cd ../../Program Files/xampp</code><br />
if you used the installer and default install location.</p>
<p>Once in there, cd to the mysql bin directory.<br />
<code>cd mysql/bin</code></p>
<p>Now, run the command:<br />
<code>mysql.exe --user=root --password= </code><br />
And the MySQL command line will start. If you&#039;ve changed the username or password of the MySQL user, you need to change the &#8211;user= and &#8211;password= accordingly.</p>
<p><b>Second method</b>:</p>
<p>Basically the same way as before, but we&#039;ll create a batch file to make it easier.</p>
<p>First, create a file called <code>mysql_command.bat</code> in the XAMPP directory.</p>
<p>Edit this file with Notepad or any text editor, and paste in this:</p>
<pre>@echo off

echo Starting MySQL command line...

mysql\bin\mysql.exe --user=root --password= 

pause</pre>
<p>Save it, and change the &#8211;user= and &#8211;password= if you&#039;ve changed the user or password. </p>
<p>Now, run mysql_command.bat and a command prompt will show up with the MySQL command line running.</p>
<p>It&#039;s as easy as that.</p>
