Q. How do I display a list of all databases under MySQL Server?
A. Use show databases sql command. First you need to login as mysql database root user using mysql command line client. Type the following command to login with a password at a shell prompt:
$ mysql -u root -p
At mysql prompt type the following command:
mysql> show databases;
Sample output:
+--------------------+ | Database | +--------------------+ | information_schema | | mysql | | wiki | +--------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.03 sec)
