mysql:database:connect:on:another:host

Connect to a database on another host.
$ mysql -h ${database_host} ${database_name}
try on your machine

This command is invoking the mysql command-line client and specifying two parameters:

  1. -h ${database_host}: This sets the host that the client should try to connect to the MySQL server on. ${database_host} is a placeholder variable that should be replaced with the actual hostname or IP address of the MySQL server.

  2. ${database_name}: This specifies the name of the database that the client should connect to. ${database_name} is a placeholder variable that should be replaced with the actual name of the MySQL database.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
