Name
USE
Synopsis
USE databaseThis statement sets the default database that MySQL is to use
for the current session. This allows the name of the default database
to be omitted from statements. For instance,
db1.table1 can be written as just
table1, and db1 is
assumed.
USE company_database;
The semicolon may be omitted from the statement since it’s
mysql client-related. You can specify a default
database at startup with the --database or
--D option.
