If you are a System Administrator, it will get to some point you only want to run a one line MySQL command. Maybe in some program you are writing or in the console, MySQL/MariaDB Linux package supports that and we are going to run that through.

In this post, I’m using MariaDB, but this works for MySQL too. By the end of this post, you should understand how to run MySQL Queries in one line.

We will be looking at examples of queries from the commandline…

Viewing list of Databases in your System

To create Databases and start working with them

Without output from MySQL, nothing will be returned after running a command like the command above.

Create tables and view tables



To Insert into the table

To view data in the table

Now we want to output the result to a file, the tee command comes in handy or output redirection by running

The output will be saved to output.txt of the working directory. Which can be viewed using cat command



Summary

With this, you can set automated tasks as SysAdmins, to make job easier. Linux is just  a flexible OS
