Sure! Here is a detailed tutorial on how to use MySQL Database CMD:
Step 1: Open cmd prompt
To start using MySQL Database CMD, you need to open the command prompt on your computer. You can do this by clicking on the “Start” button, typing “cmd” in the search bar, and hitting enter.
Step 2: Navigate to MySQL directory
Next, you need to navigate to the directory where MySQL is installed. This is usually the “bin” directory within the MySQL installation folder. You can navigate to this directory by typing “cd path_to_mysql_bin_directory” in the command prompt and hitting enter.
Step 3: Log in to MySQL
To log in to MySQL, you need to enter the following command in the command prompt:
mysql -u username -p
Replace “username” with your MySQL username. You will be prompted to enter your password. Once you enter the correct password, you will be logged in to MySQL.
Step 4: Create a new database
To create a new database in MySQL, you can use the following command:
CREATE DATABASE database_name;
Replace “database_name” with the name you want to give to your new database. Once the database is created, you can start using it for storing data.
Step 5: Create a new table
To create a new table in your database, you can use the following command:
CREATE TABLE table_name (
column1_name datatype,
column2_name datatype,
…
);
Replace “table_name” with the name of your table, “column1_name” and “column2_name” with the names of your table columns, and “datatype” with the data type you want to assign to each column.
Step 6: Insert data into the table
To insert data into your table, you can use the following command:
INSERT INTO table_name (column1_name, column2_name, …)
VALUES (value1, value2, …);
Replace “table_name” with the name of your table, “column1_name” and “column2_name” with the names of your table columns, and “value1” and “value2” with the values you want to insert into each column.
Step 7: Retrieve data from the table
To retrieve data from your table, you can use the following command:
SELECT * FROM table_name;
This command will retrieve all the data from your table. You can also specify which columns you want to retrieve data from by replacing the ‘*’ with the column names.
Step 8: Update data in the table
To update data in your table, you can use the following command:
UPDATE table_name
SET column_name = new_value
WHERE condition;
Replace “table_name” with the name of your table, “column_name” with the name of the column you want to update, “new_value” with the new value you want to assign to the column, and “condition” with the condition that determines which rows to update.
Step 9: Delete data from the table
To delete data from your table, you can use the following command:
DELETE FROM table_name
WHERE condition;
Replace “table_name” with the name of your table, and “condition” with the condition that determines which rows to delete.
That’s it! You now know how to use MySQL Database CMD to create, update, retrieve, and delete data in a MySQL database. Happy coding!
