From the command line, when a sql-server is not running,
dolt sql
implicitly uses theroot
account to log, but if theroot
account exists with a password,dolt sql
will fail to log in. Since the user has access to the host and the database data directory, we should allowdolt sql
to log into the SQL shell, even if theroot
user has a password set. This change also makes this behavior match when a sql-server is running, and we allow superuser login through the__dolt_local_user__
account (which only exists while a sql-server is running).
