RE: List all databases from command line

You can also use --skip-column-names to make the output a little
cleaner.

Something like

mysql -u root -p --execute="SHOW Databases" mysql 

Should get you what you want. There may be some other options to give
you the output in a form and place that suits you.

Subject: List all databases from command line

We use a simple batch file for backups that does a mysqldump on each
database on our MySQL 5.0 server.  When we create a new database on the
server, though, we need to modify the batch file, which is easy to
forget.

Is there a way, using a command-line program, that I can get a list of
all databases on the server so that I can loop over the list and backup
each one?
