More Info

Comments for your SQL file:

$ cat my_script.sql
-- 3 first students in the Batch ID=3
-- because Batch 3 is the best
SELECT id, name FROM students WHERE batch_id = 3 ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 3;
$

Use "container-on-demand" to run MySQL

  • Ask for container Ubuntu 18.04 - Python 3.7
  • Connect via SSH
  • Or via the Web Terminal
  • In the container, start MySQL before playing with it
$ service mysql start
* MySQL Community Server 5.7.30 is started
$
$ cat 0-list_databases.sql | mysql -uroot -p my_database
Enter password:
Database
information_schema
mysql
performance_schema
sys
$

In the container, credentials are root/root
