Using MySQL through a daemon

How do I reach MySQL from Unix? According to my webhosting provider, the database is located in a different box. The access command they gave me was:

mysql -u <username> -p <password> <database_name)

But when I enter this, I find myself still at the same unix prompt. Here's what the manual said:

%man mysql
NAME mysql - text-based client for mysqld, a SQL-based relational database daemon.
