/usr/bin/mariadb-show Ver 9.10 Distrib 10.6.28-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64)
Copyright (c) 2000, 2018, Oracle, MariaDB Corporation Ab and others.
Shows the structure of a MariaDB database (databases, tables, and columns).
Usage: /usr/bin/mariadb-show [OPTIONS] [database [table [column]]]
If last argument contains a shell or SQL wildcard (*,?,% or _) then only
what's matched by the wildcard is shown.
If no database is given then all matching databases are shown.
If no table is given, then all matching tables in database are shown.
If no column is given, then all matching columns and column types in table
are shown.
Default options are read from the following files in the given order:
/etc/my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf
The following groups are read: mysqlshow mariadb-show client client-server client-mariadb
The following options may be given as the first argument:
--print-defaults Print the program argument list and exit.
--no-defaults Don't read default options from any option file.
The following specify which files/extra groups are read (specified before remaining options):
--defaults-file=# Only read default options from the given file #.
--defaults-extra-file=# Read this file after the global files are read.
--defaults-group-suffix=# Additionally read default groups with # appended as a suffix.
-c, --character-sets-dir=name
Directory for character set files.
--default-character-set=name
Set the default character set.
--count Show number of rows per table (may be slow for non-MyISAM
tables).
-C, --compress Use compression in server/client protocol.
-#, --debug[=name] Output debug log. Often this is 'd:t:o,filename'.
--debug-check Check memory and open file usage at exit.
--debug-info Print some debug info at exit.
--default-auth=name Default authentication client-side plugin to use.
-?, --help Display this help and exit.
-h, --host=name Connect to host.
-i, --status Shows a lot of extra information about each table.
-k, --keys Show keys for table.
-p, --password[=name]
Password to use when connecting to server. If password is
not given, it's solicited on the tty.
--plugin-dir=name Directory for client-side plugins.
-P, --port=# Port number to use for connection or 0 for default to, in
order of preference, my.cnf, $MYSQL_TCP_PORT,
/etc/services, built-in default (3306).
--protocol=name The protocol to use for connection (tcp, socket, pipe).
-t, --show-table-type
Show table type column.
-S, --socket=name The socket file to use for connection.
--ssl Enable SSL for connection (automatically enabled with
other flags).
--ssl-ca=name CA file in PEM format (check OpenSSL docs, implies
--ssl).
--ssl-capath=name CA directory (check OpenSSL docs, implies --ssl).
--ssl-cert=name X509 cert in PEM format (implies --ssl).
--ssl-cipher=name SSL cipher to use (implies --ssl).
--ssl-key=name X509 key in PEM format (implies --ssl).
--ssl-crl=name Certificate revocation list (implies --ssl).
--ssl-crlpath=name Certificate revocation list path (implies --ssl).
--tls-version=name TLS protocol version for secure connection.
--ssl-verify-server-cert
Verify server's "Common Name" in its cert against
hostname used when connecting. This option is disabled by
default.
-u, --user=name User for login if not current user.
-v, --verbose More verbose output; you can use this multiple times to
get even more verbose output.
-V, --version Output version information and exit.
