How To Display MySQL System Help?

MySQL provides a HELP command in its command-line interface, which can be used to get information on MySQL commands and their syntax.

Prerequisites:

• A MySQL server up and running.
• Access to a MySQL user account.

Tutorial:

• Connect to the MySQL server:

To start the mysql command-line client, open your terminal or command prompt, and enter:

mysql -u [username] -p

Replace [username] with your MySQL username and enter your password when prompted.

• Using the HELP command:

The basic syntax for using the HELP command is as follows:

HELP 'topic';

Replace 'topic' with the topic you want to get help on. Note that the topic should be enclosed in single quotes.

For example, to get help on the SELECT statement, you would use:

HELP 'SELECT';

This will display information about the SELECT statement, including its syntax and examples of how to use it.

You can also get a list of all help topics by using the HELP 'contents' command:

HELP 'contents';

This will display a list of all available help topics.

• Exit the MySQL command-line client:

EXIT;

The HELP command in MySQL can be a useful tool for getting quick information on how to use MySQL commands. However, it might not provide detailed explanations or cover all aspects of a topic. For comprehensive information and tutorials, the MySQL documentation is a better resource.

4. Getting Help with MySQL Commands:

   • For any command, add HELP or ? after the command to receive detailed information.
   • Example:

     SELECT * FROM my_table HELP;
     

5. Viewing MySQL Help from the Command Line:

   • Easily access command-line help for MySQL by typing help.
