title: Why mysql (mariadb) keeps asking for password even if the --password is in the command line?
body: <p>This thing is driving me crazy. If I write:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mysql -unextcloud -pnextcloudpassword -h 127.0.0.1 -p 43306 -D nextcloud-db
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I always and anyway get a <code>Enter password:</code> following (that can't even be aborted by Ctrl-C).</p>
  
  <p><strong>Why? How can I avoid it?</strong></p>
  
  <p>I've already tried every combination of <code>[-u|--user|-p|--password]</code> with any combination of space and =. And then I get a connection refused that makes absolutely no sense, but that's another problem (and another source of insanity).</p>
  
  <p>Thanks! </p>
