Accessing Database

When we start our queries first of all we have to know that , a database contain tables and a tables contain data . Thus if we need to use data we first need to enter in database and then in table.

We can enter in any database by using USE  <DATABASE NAME>;

   It can be used as , Suppose a database named Menagerie 
Now this command used as  USE Menagerie; 



+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    NOTE :-  There is a space gap between USE and Menagerie in previous Command.
                   We use this semi-colon sign ";" to close any statement.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Now if we want to see the list of our databases then we use SHOW DATABASES; 
It will display all the names of databases.



Now if we want to see the list of our tables in database then we use SHOW TABLES;        

             
TO EXIT FROM MY SQL YOU CAN TYPE EXIT;
