     There are no required arguments. By default, the local database is checked
     using the default unix socket. You can force TCP on localhost by using an
     IP address or FQDN ('localhost' will use the socket as well).

    Notes:
     You must specify -p with an empty string to force an empty password,
     overriding any my.cnf settings.
