Overview
The mysqlshow
utility is used to show details about databases, tables, table columns, indexes, and other database objects with MariaDB Community Server 10.2.
MariaDB Community Server 10.2 does not provide a symbolic link to the utility's new name (mariadb-show
), so the legacy name must be used.
