If you are tired of typing your password, create a (chmod 600) file ~/.my.cnf, and put in it:

[client]
user = "you"
password = "your-password"

For the sake of conversation:

echo 'DROP DATABASE foo;' | mysql

MySQL has discontinued drop database command from mysql client shell  Need to use mysqladmin to drop a database

User · Answer

No need for mysqladmin   just use mysql command line  mysql -u  username  -p password  -e  drop database db-name     This will send the drop command although I wouldn t pass the password this way as it ll be exposed to other users of the system via ps aux
