You can use one of the following commands to view all databases:

  1. To view all databases, you can use the SHOW command. This command can be executed in the MySQL command line interface or through a client connected to the MySQL server.
SHOW DATABASES;

This will display a list of all databases.

  1. You can also query the database list from the information schema using the SELECT command. Execute the following command:
SELECT schema_name FROM information_schema.schemata;

This will return a result set containing all the database names.

Please note that you need to have sufficient permissions to view all databases. If you do not have adequate permissions, you may not be able to see all databases.
