This is a list of handy MySQL commands that I use time and time again. At the bottom are statements, clauses, and functions you can use in MySQL. Below that are PHP and Perl API functions you can use to interface with MySQL. To use those you will need to build PHP with MySQL functionality. To use MySQL with Perl you will need to use the Perl modules DBI and DBD::mysql.
Below when you see # it means from the unix shell. When you see mysql> it means from a MySQL prompt after logging into MySQL.
To login (from unix shell) use -h only if needed.
# [mysql dir]/bin/mysql -h hostname -u root -p
Create a database on the sql server.
mysql> create database [databasename];
List all databases on the sql server.
mysql> show databases;
Switch to a database.
mysql> use [db name];
To see all the tables in the db.
mysql> show tables;
To see database's field formats.
mysql> describe [table name];
To delete a db.
mysql> drop database [database name];
To delete a table.
mysql> drop table [table name];
Show all data in a table.
mysql> SELECT * FROM [table name];
Returns the columns and column information pertaining to the designated table.
mysql> show columns from [table name];
Show certain selected rows with the value "whatever".
mysql> SELECT * FROM [table name] WHERE [field name] = "whatever";
Show all records containing the name "Bob" AND the phone number '3444444'.
mysql> SELECT * FROM [table name] WHERE name = "Bob" AND phone_number = '3444444';
Show all records not containing the name "Bob" AND the phone number '3444444' order by the phone_number field.
mysql> SELECT * FROM [table name] WHERE name != "Bob" AND phone_number = '3444444' order by phone_number;
Show all records starting with the letters 'bob' AND the phone number '3444444'.
mysql> SELECT * FROM [table name] WHERE name like "Bob%" AND phone_number = '3444444';
Show all records starting with the letters 'bob' AND the phone number '3444444' limit to records 1 through 5.
mysql> SELECT * FROM [table name] WHERE name like "Bob%" AND phone_number = '3444444' limit 1,5;
Use a regular expression to find records. Use "REGEXP BINARY" to force case-sensitivity. This finds any record beginning with a.
mysql> SELECT * FROM [table name] WHERE rec RLIKE "^a";
Show unique records.
mysql> SELECT DISTINCT [column name] FROM [table name];
Show selected records sorted in an ascending (asc) or descending (desc).
mysql> SELECT [col1],[col2] FROM [table name] ORDER BY [col2] DESC;
Return number of rows.
mysql> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM [table name];
Sum column.
mysql> SELECT SUM(*) FROM [table name];
Join tables on common columns.
mysql> select lookup.illustrationid, lookup.personid,person.birthday from lookup left join person on lookup.personid=person.personid=statement to join birthday in person table with primary illustration id;

MySQL Commands List
Here you will find a collection of basic MySQL statements that should prove useful for basic CRUDS operations (create, replace, update, delete, select).
There may be some issues with the kind of quotes you use around your data. If you are having difficulties, try using singe quotes ( ' ) or tricky quotes ( ` -- on keyboard key next to number 1) around your data. One or the other is bound to work.
The following statements are covered in this page:

CREATE DATABASE$sql = "CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS myCoolDatabaseName"; mysql_query($sql); CREATE TABLE$sql = "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS music"; mysql_query($sql);$sql = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `music` ( `id` int(8) unsigned NOT NULL, `artist` text, `album` text, `title` text, `track` text, `year` varchar(8) DEFAULT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`), FULLTEXT KEY `artist` (`artist`), FULLTEXT KEY `album` (`album`), FULLTEXT KEY `title` (`title`), FULLTEXT KEY `track` (`track`), FULLTEXT KEY `year` (`year`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;"; mysql_query($sql); ALTER TABLE
NOTE: You may want to use AUTO INCREMENT to have MySQL automatically maintain the id field when you add a new item to the table. This is up to you on how you would like to maintain the id., which in this case is the "PRIMARY KEY" which needs to be unique and is what MySQL needs to keep things orderly:
You can modify the table using the following command:
$sql = "ALTER TABLE music MODIFY id int(8) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;"; mysql_query($sql); INSERT STATEMENTS
INSERT INTO table_name ( `col_A`, `col_B`, `col_C`) VALUES ( `col_A_data`, `col_B_data`, `col_C_data`) ;
Inserts a row into the table using the data defined in the VALUES section.
As you can see, the column names are established within the first set of parenthesis, the order of the data in the second set of parenthesis must match the order of the column names defined int he first set of parentheses.
I've color coded each "pair" so you can see that the data "col_B_data' that is going to go into column name "col_B" must be second. if there is no data available for col_B, use empty single quotes as:
REPLACE STATEMENTS
REPLACE INTO table_name ( `col_A`, `col_B`) VALUES ( `col A data`, `col B data`) ;
Replaces items in a row. This action is dependant on the "id" because when doing a REPLACE, you must include the PRIMARY (unique) column. Since we established the "id" column as our PRIMARY key (when establishing the table), MySQL needs this info so it knows which row we are talking about. If we didn't include the "id" coumn, MySQL will have no idea which row we are trying to replace.
UPDATE STATEMENTS
UPDATE table_name SET col_B='new_data' WHERE col_A='reference_data' ;
Will update a row where:
- The row to update is specified by the WHERE section - The new values are specified in the SET section.
SELECT STATEMENTS
NOTE: Before getting into the SELECT stuff let's first populate the table with a bunch of crap. Notice that we are leveraging the REPLACE feature here.
OK, now that we've got some data to work with, we can start doing some SELECT statements.
DELETE STATEMENTS
DELETE FROM table_name WHERE column_name='search_data';
Will remove rows that match the search data defined in the WHERE section.
For our last exmple, we'll first need to re-populate the table with all the data:
OK, now that we have a new data set in our table, lets continue.
