Trouble Deploying Wordpress Using GAE - Locally Runs Properly - php

Question

I properly set up the Cloud SQL instance and wordpress runs properly locally.
When I try to run the following commands, where INSTANCE_IP is my IP address to my Cloud SQL instance I get an error in my syntax:
{PATH_TO_MYSQL_BIN}/mysql --host=INSTANCE_IP --user=root --password
create database wordpress_db;
exit;
Edit, Error Message:
{PATH_TO_MYSQL_BIN}/mysql --host=xxx.19x.2xx.xx --user=root --password -> create database wordpress_db; ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '{PATH_TO_MYSQL_BIN}/mysql --host=173.194.243.33 --user=root --password create da' at line 1
If anyone could tell me what is wrong with my syntax that would be great, thanks in advance.
The following is the wp-config.php I believe is relevant:
// Required for batcache use
define('WP_CACHE', true);
// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress_db');
/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'root');
if (isset($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE']) && strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'],'Google App Engine') !== false) {
/** Live environment Cloud SQL login and SITE_URL info */
define('DB_HOST', ':/cloudsql/your-project-id:wordpress');
define('DB_USER', 'root');
define('DB_PASSWORD', '');
} else {
/** Local environment MySQL login info */
define('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1');
define('DB_USER', 'root');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');
}
// Determine HTTP or HTTPS, then set WP_SITEURL and WP_HOME
if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] !== 'off' || $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == 443)
{
$protocol_to_use = 'https://';
} else {
$protocol_to_use = 'http://';
}
define( 'WP_SITEURL', $protocol_to_use . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
define( 'WP_HOME', $protocol_to_use . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
/** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
define('DB_COLLATE', '');

looks like you're following a guide from the Google cloud project site.
Here's some solutions:
First, if you have altered the user name or password during mysql install, make sure you update that in the config.php for wordpress.
Here's the thing - in MySQL, if you are using the Workbench then all you need to run is:
create database wordpress_db;
As the other script was if you're running it from cmd tool I believe.
