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]]]

       ?  If no database is given, a list of database names is shown.

       ?  If no table is given, all matching tables in the database are shown.

       ?  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:

       ?  --help, -?

          Display a help message and exit.

       ?  --character-sets-dir=path

          The directory where character sets are installed. See Section 2, "The Character
          Set Used for Data and Sorting".

       ?  --compress, -C

          Compress all information sent between the client and the server if both support
          compression.

       ?  --count

          Show the number of rows per table. This can be slow for non-MyISAM tables. This
          option was added in MySQL 5.0.6.

       ?  --debug[=debug_options], -# [debug_options]

          Write a debugging log. The debug_options string often is ?d:t:o,file_name'.

       ?  --default-character-set=charset_name

          Use charset_name as the default character set. See Section 2, "The Character Set
          Used for Data and Sorting".

       ?  --host=host_name, -h host_name

          Connect to the MySQL server on the given host.

       ?  --keys, -k

          Show table indexes.

       ?  --password[=password], -p[password]

          The password to use when connecting to the server. If you use the short option
          form (-p), you cannot have a space between the option and the password. If you
          omit the password value following the --password or -p option on the command
          line, you are prompted for one.

          Specifying a password on the command line should be considered insecure. See
          Section 5.6, "Keeping Your Password Secure".

          Specifying a password on the command line should be considered insecure. See
          Section 5.6, "Keeping Your Password Secure".

       ?  --port=port_num, -P port_num

          The TCP/IP port number to use for the connection.

       ?  --protocol={TCP|SOCKET|PIPE|MEMORY}

          The connection protocol to use.

       ?  --show-table-type, -t

          Show a column indicating the table type, as in SHOW FULL TABLES. The type is
          BASE TABLE or VIEW. This option was added in MySQL 5.0.4.

       ?  --socket=path, -S path

          For connections to localhost, the Unix socket file to use, or, on Windows, the
          name of the named pipe to use.

       ?  --ssl*

          Options that begin with --ssl specify whether to connect to the server via SSL
          and indicate where to find SSL keys and certificates. See Section 5.7.3, "SSL
          Command Options".

       ?  --status, -i

          Display extra information about each table.

       ?  --user=user_name, -u user_name

          The MySQL username to use when connecting to the server.

       ?  --verbose, -v

          Verbose mode. Print more information about what the program does. This option
          can be used multiple times to increase the amount of information.

       ?  --version, -V

          Display version information and exit.
