I want to drop all the databases starting with a word.
abc
xyz
cms_db1
cms_db2
cms_xyz
pqr
In the example given above, I will like to drop all
Using @léo-alves-de-araujo I have modified it to ask the user/password (More secure way) from command line (with linux)
#!/bin/bash
echo -n "Enter Mysql User:"
read user
echo -n "Enter Mysql Password:"
read -s password
for db_name in $(mysql -u $user --password=$password -e "SHOW DATABASES LIKE 'cms_%'" -ss 2>/dev/null)
do
mysql -u $user --password=$password -e "DROP DATABASE ${db_name}" 2>/dev/null;
done
