mySQL simple commands
# Basic Terminal Commands mySQL
# IMPORTANT : add your own data or parameters, I make use of double segments [[ your variable ]]. eg. ssh root@[[ 96.172.44.11 ]] should be replaced with ssh [email protected] where "888.88.88.88" is your value, variable etc. I have a habit of using ":::" to indicate line ending and end of paragraph, crazy I know but be warned its just how I write ::: All notes are for my own use & should you use any it's at your own risk, it's NOT a Tutorial :::

Now add a data / row to table books using INSERT statement:

Add few more rows:
mysql> INSERT INTO authors (id,name,email) VALUES(2,"Priya","[email protected]");
INSERT INTO authors (id,name,email) VALUES(3,"Tom","[email protected]");
Now display all rows:
mysql> SELECT * FROM authors;
Output:
+------+-------+---------------+
| id | name | email |
+------+-------+---------------+
| 1 | Vivek | [email protected] |
| 2 | Priya | [email protected] |
| 3 | Tom | [email protected] |
