MySQL USE Database Statement

The USE statement in MySQL is used to select and switch to a specific database, making it the active database for subsequent queries.

Syntax:

USE database_name;

database_name is the name of the database you want to use.

Example: Switching to a Database

Switch to the school_db database

USE school_db;

After executing this command, all queries will run within school_db unless another database is selected.

Checking the Selected Database

To verify the active database:

SELECT DATABASE();

Listing Available Databases

To see all databases in MySQL:

SHOW DATABASES;

All Database statements:

✔ The USE statement sets the active database.

✔ All queries after USE database_name; apply to the selected database.

✔ Use SHOW DATABASES; to list available databases.

✔ Use SELECT DATABASE(); to check the current database.
