You can use:
mysql --defaults-file=file_name
to specify a defaults file per database.
See https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/password-security-user.html
for the various options for supplying passwords.

Someone asked me to create a test bash script that will perform sql

figure out how to provide usernames and passwords in the first line.
## the following line works, but provides a login error.
#!/usr/bin/env mysql

# The following never works because env can't find the executable.
#!/usr/bin/env mysql -u username -pPassword
# The above returns bash: mysql -u username -pPassword not found.
Any ideas on how I can get this to work?
