As we know that with the help of SHOW DATABASES statement we can see the list of MySQL databases. Similarly, we can use SHOW SCHEMAS as the synonym of SHOW DATABASES to get the list of databases.
Example
mysql> SHOW DATABASES; +--------------------+ | Database | +--------------------+ | information_schema | | gaurav | | mysql | | performance_schema | | query | | query1 | | sys | | tutorials | +--------------------+ 8 rows in set (0.07 sec) mysql> SHOW SCHEMAS; +--------------------+ | Database | +--------------------+ | information_schema | | gaurav | | mysql | | performance_schema | | query | | query1 | | sys | | tutorials | +--------------------+ 8 rows in set (0.00 sec)
