Resolving MySql Error 1049

Recently while trying to run a db query on mysql server from mysql client I faced Error 1049.
I finally managed to resolve the issue by modifying the ruby script that I was trying to execute.

Here is what it was before
mysql -u root -p 'password' -h host.mydomain.com

Upon execution it asked for password and after entering password here is what the terminal spitted at me

ERROR 1049 (42000) : Unknown database ''password''

Here is what I did to mysql command in my ruby script

mysql -u root -ppassword -h host.mydomain.com

Executed the script again and it worked fine.


What really solved the issues was removal of " ' " before and after the password and white space between the -p and password.


Hope that helps someone looking for solution to similar problem
