MYSQLSHOW(1) MySQL Database System MYSQLSHOW(1)
NAME
mysqlshow - display database, table, and column information
SYNOPSIS
mysqlshow [options] [db_name [tbl_name [col_name]]]
DESCRIPTION
The mysqlshow client can be used to quickly see which databases exist, their tables, or a
table's columns or indexes.
mysqlshow provides a command-line interface to several SQL SHOW statements. See
Section 5.4, "SHOW Syntax". The same information can be obtained by using those statements
directly. For example, you can issue them from the mysql client program.
Invoke mysqlshow like this:
shell> mysqlshow [options] [db_name [tbl_name [col_name]]]
o If no database is given, a list of database names is shown.
o If no table is given, all matching tables in the database are shown.
o If no column is given, all matching columns and column types in the table are shown.
The output displays only the names of those databases, tables, or columns for which you
have some privileges.
If the last argument contains shell or SQL wildcard characters ("*", "?", "%", or "_"),
only those names that are matched by the wildcard are shown. If a database name contains
any underscores, those should be escaped with a backslash (some Unix shells require two)
to get a list of the proper tables or columns. "*" and "?" characters are converted into
SQL "%" and "_" wildcard characters. This might cause some confusion when you try to
display the columns for a table with a "_" in the name, because in this case, mysqlshow
shows you only the table names that match the pattern. This is easily fixed by adding an
extra "%" last on the command line as a separate argument.
mysqlshow supports the following options:
