[Kfear Oshri]

- [X] This doc is inaccurate in this way:

In section 1
the command:
# mysql
should be:
# mysql -u root -p

Perhaps a duplicate of this old one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1785025 (Install and configure controller node in Neutron).

I changed the doc: https://review.openstack.org/589907, but was recently reverted:
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/628878/

So if I understand well from Akihiro's commit message: "This commit was approved just to keep the consistency with other OpenStack projects, but most proposed changes related to it have been rejected so far. The main reason is because it is clearer to specify options explicitly and we should not assume some configuration. I totally agree these opinions and see no reason that neutron
contineus to use different command line options for mysql. Consistency in the installation guide will bring better user experience."

So perhaps this bug can be rejected.

Please be advised:
while trying to use this command without parameters and logged in to bash as root
the command is rejected:

[root@controller ~]# mysql
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

So, in any case the user should add the "-p" option

[root@controller ~]# mysql -p
Enter password:

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.

if so, neutron document should preserve consistency with all other docs and the command should be:
# mysql -u root -p

Best I can tell the docs already all do use -u and -p option [1].

If there's something else that's needed please reopen/clarify.
