Help with SQL commands to interact with a MySQL database
- Mac /usr/local/mysql/bin
- Windows /Program Files/MySQL/MySQL version/bin
- Xampp /xampp/mysql/bin
Magic words:
psql -U postgres
Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h
or --help
depending on your psql version):
-E
: will describe the underlaying queries of the \
commands (cool for learning!)-l
: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)
