MySQL

Run MySQL Docker Container

docker run -d \
    --name mysql-docker \
    -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root \
    -e MYSQL_DATABASE=test_db \
    -e MYSQL_USER=test \
    -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=test \
    -p 3306:3306 \
    -d \
    mysql:latest

Run MySQL Docker Container for MacOS M1 Chip

docker run -d \
    --name mysql-docker \
    -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root \
    -e MYSQL_DATABASE=test_db \
    -e MYSQL_USER=test \
    -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=test \
    -p 3306:3306 \
    -d \
    --platform linux/amd64 \
    mysql:latest

Run MySQL Docker Container with a mapped volume to host machine

docker run -d \
    --name mysql-docker \
    -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root \
    -e MYSQL_DATABASE=test_db \
    -e MYSQL_USER=test \
    -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=test \
    -v $PWD/docker/mysql/data:/var/lib/mysql:rw \
    -p 3306:3306 \
    -d \
    mysql:latest

Connect MySQL Docker Container in interaction mode

docker exec -it command can run a program in container interactively so running /bin/bash or /bin/sh command will start shell interactively.

docker exec -it mysql-docker /bin/bash

run the following code to connect to MySQL database.

mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -P 3306 -u root -p

then run the following command to show databases for testing.

SHOW DATABASES;

Connect MySQL Docker Container in interaction mode

docker exec -it can run mysql command interactively.

docker exec -it mysql-docker mysql -u root -p

Connect MySQL Docker Container from host machine

if you have mysql client in your local, then you can connect to MySQL database.

mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -P 3306 -u root -p

Execute SQL Statements in MySQL Docker Container

mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -P 3306 -u test_user -p -e "SHOW DATABASES;"

mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -P 3306 -u test_user -p -e "SELECT * FROM test.test_table;"

Redirect SQL file to table in MySQL Docker Container

mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -P 3306 -u root -p test_db < school.sql
