Connect to a database, user will be prompted for a password.

This is a command to connect to a MySQL database server with the specified user and password. The ${user} and ${database_name} are variables that need to be replaced with the actual username and database name, respectively.

The "-u" option is used to specify the username of the user who is connecting to the server. The "--password" option is used to prompt the user to enter their password.

Once the correct credentials are entered, the user will be connected to the MySQL client, where they can execute SQL queries and perform various operations on the database.
