OK, seems the majority has spoken on this. I have made notes of the
possible confusion for MySQL users and added a requirement to the
blueprint to create some documentation on this.
Also, added Jeremy's suggestion about the client hinting about
non-integer ports.

Cheers all. Consider it open season on this task.

I'm going to half-jokingly suggest that the client can inform them of
the problem in many case. Port numbers are usually numeric or that of
something in /etc/sevices, right? Passwords are not.

However, I do agree that this might confuse existing MySQL users.
If we were to make this change, we'll probably get a fair amount of
inquires on the mailing list about how "-p" doesn't behave as people
expect. The reason that I'm agreeing with this blueprint is because
hopefully as time (maybe after a year of Cirrus release?) passes
it'll become common knowledge that "-p" in Drizzle is for specifying
the port like you would expect from many other server software.
I'm being optimistic here but thats my 2 cents.
Cheers,
Toru

I've left the definition in "Discussed" status, and appended the
task to the Low Hangin Fruit milestone, which is the ongoing
"fix it if you can find time" milestone:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/drizzle/+milestone/low-hanging-fruit
Please reply a +1 or -1 on whether this small usability change
is a good idea.

We should fix the -p thing? How often does this trip people up?

Use --port=9999, not -p 9999. The latter is saying you
will enter a password and want to use the "9999" database.
Cheers!

hello list,
i recently installed drizzled, but now i am trying
to connect to
drizzled, but it is asking me for a password (which
has not been set
yet).
any ideas?
drizzled daemon: sbin/drizzled --no-defaults
--port=9999
--basedir=/usr/local/drizzle
--datadir=/usr/local/drizzle/var
drizzle command:
gfizzle:drizzle msacks$ bin/drizzle -p 9999
