# MySQL

## TL;DR

```sh
# connect with user "root" on the local default socket
# don't ask password and do not select db
mysql

# connect with user "user" on the local default socket
# ask for a password and execute a command
mysql -u user -p -e 'show databases;'

# provide a password on the cli
# put no spaces between -p and the password
mysql -u ${USERNAME} -h ${HOST} -p${PASSWORD} ${DATABASE}
```

```sql
-- list the available databases
SHOW DATABASES;
SHOW DATABASES LIKE 'open%';

-- list tables in the pizza_store database
use pizza_store;
show tables;

-- give permissions
grant ALL on db.* to 'username'@'localhost' identified by 'password';
grant ALL on db.* to 'username'@'127.0.0.1';
```
