How to execute MySQL command from the host to container running MySQL server?

Question

I have followed the instruction in https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/mysql/ to pull an image and running a container in which it runs a MySQL server.

The container is run

Answer 1

In my case the <<< solution did not work.

Instead I used -e.

Example:

docker exec ${CONTAINER_NAME} mysql -u ${USER_NAME} -p${PASSWORD} -e "drop schema test; create schema test;"
