在 ubuntu 12.04 的命令提示符下无法看到 mysql 的数据库

Question

1）我已经通过apt-get install mysql-server和安装了mysql服务器和mysql客户端apt-get install mysql-client

2）当我运行 sudo netstat -tap | grep mysql，我看到以下内容：

tcp        0      0 localhost:mysql         *:*                     LISTEN      15138/mysqld

我认为它正在运行

3）现在我去 usr/share/mysql 并输入： show databases;它显示我在关注，

The program 'show' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
apt-get install nmh

任何人都可以告诉我有什么问题吗？我是否从错误的目录运行命令？

谢谢，

That's because you're trying to enter SQL commands from the Ubuntu command line. You need to enter them from the MySQL command line:

$ mysql -h localhost -u user -p password

mysql> show databases;
