The world's most popular open source database
SHOW {DATABASES | SCHEMAS}
[LIKE 'pattern' | WHERE expr]
SHOW DATABASES lists the
databases on the MySQL server host.
SHOW
SCHEMAS is a synonym for SHOW
DATABASES. The LIKE
clause, if present, indicates which database names to match. The
WHERE clause can be given to select rows
using more general conditions, as discussed in
Section 20.28, “Extensions to SHOW Statements”.
You see only those databases for which you have some kind of
privilege, unless you have the global SHOW
DATABASES privilege. You can also get this list using
the mysqlshow command.
If the server was started with the
--skip-show-database option, you cannot use
this statement at all unless you have the
SHOW DATABASES privilege.
SHOW
SCHEMAS can also be used.
