Why does MySQL show ->?

Short answer. The statement has no semicolon yet.

How do you leave MySQL?

Type exit or quit.

Remember

mysql -u root -p to log in
Arrow means: add a semicolon

My S Q L shows an arrow and does nothing. Why? Log in with dash U root and dash P. Forgot the semicolon? The arrow waits. Type it and press enter. Log in as root. An arrow means add a semicolon.
