How to view all databases in MySQL?

When connecting to the MySQL server using the MySQL command-line client, you can follow these steps to view all databases:

Open the command line terminal and type in the following command to connect to the MySQL server:

   mysql -u username -p

You will need to enter your MySQL username, and the system will prompt you to enter your password.

After entering the password, press the Enter key to successfully log in to the MySQL server.

3. To list all databases, enter the following command at the MySQL prompt (`mysql>`).

   SHOW DATABASES;

After executing this command, MySQL will return a list of all database names.

You can find the name of the database you are interested in on the list.

For example, to view the database named “mydatabase,” you can use the following command:

   USE mydatabase;

Then, you can proceed with other tasks, such as viewing tables, inserting data, and so on.

5. After completing all the operations, you can use the following command to exit the MySQL command line client:

   exit;

In this way, you can easily view and manipulate all databases using the MySQL command line client.
