MySQL Fix for MAMP PRO when using WP CLI

gistfile1.txt

sudo ln -s /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql /usr/local/bin/mysql; 
sudo ln -s /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqlcheck /usr/local/bin/mysqlcheck; 
sudo ln -s /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqldump /usr/local/bin/mysqldump

The following fixed the issue for me on a server:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/mysql /usr/local/bin/mysql; 
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/mysqlcheck /usr/local/bin/mysqlcheck; 
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/mysqldump /usr/local/bin/mysqldump;

Didn't worked for me.

WP-CLI 1.4.1 and MAMP 4.1.1. Mac Os High Sierra

Try using this as the database host: localhost:/tmp/mysql.sock
