How can i store mysql databases in linux using shell scripting
script:
mysql -uusername -hhostname -ppassword -e "show databases"

Answer 1

I think you want this: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/96132
mysql> use mysql
Database changed
mysql> tee /tmp/mysqltee
Logging to file '/tmp/mysqltee'
mysql> show tables;
+-----------------+
| Tables_in_mysql |
+-----------------+
| columns_priv |
| db |
| host |
| tables_priv |
| user |
+-----------------+
5 rows in set (0.02 sec)
mysql> notee
Outfile disabled.
mysql>
If the file exist, the output will be appended to the existing file (/tmp/mysqltee).
As you can see, the output is also displayed on the screen. This may not be
what you want, especially if the output is big... You could use
mysql -e "select table_name from user_tables" database > output.txt
or
mysql database < script.sql > output.txt
from the os command line. (You may also need to use -u, -p and/or -h, use
the same as when you do a 'normal' start of the mysql client.)

Answer 2

it may help you
#!/bin/bash
results=($(mysql --user root -pwelcome -Bse "show databases;"))

Answer 3

The following code will retrieve all database names into a variable called dbnames. After that, it iterates will just echo a string with each name individually
#!/bin/bash
dbnames=`mysql --user=user --password=password -se "show databases;"`
for x in $dbnames;
do
echo "There is a database called $x"
done;
