Check the current user in MySQL command line
database, mysql, mysql-command-line-client, mysqlcommand, sql
Solution
There is a MYSQL function `user()`. To get the user:
SELECT USER();
This will return something like username@hostname.
Problem
Here is my question about MySQL. After I log in to MySQL using: ``` mysql -u myname -p ... mysql> ``` I wanted to know what the username I used to logon. Is there a way to check this? like "whoami" in unix? Thanks.
