At first, let us determine the current delimiter in MySQL using the following syntax
\s
The above syntax will let you know about the current delimiter. Let us implement the above syntax.
The query is as follows
mysql> \s
The following is the output
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin\mysql.exe Ver 8.0.12 for Win64 on x86_64 (MySQL Community Server - GPL) Connection id: 19 Current database: sample Current user: root@localhost SSL: Cipher in use is DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 Using delimiter: ; Server version: 8.0.12 MySQL Community Server - GPL Protocol version: 10 Connection: localhost via TCP/IP Insert id: 11 Server characterset: utf8 Db characterset: utf8 Client characterset: utf8 Conn. characterset: utf8 TCP port: 3306 Uptime: 9 hours 50 min 52 sec Threads: 3 Questions: 135 Slow queries: 0 Opens: 272 Flush tables: 2 Open tables: 247 Queries per second avg: 0.003
If you change the delimiter then it will show the updated current delimiter.
Let us change the current delimiter with //. The syntax is as follows
DELIMITER //
The query is as follows to change the delimiter
mysql> DELIMITER //
Let us now check the current i.e. the updated delimiter.
The query is as follows
mysql> \s
The following is the output
