===Command-line interfaces===
A [[command-line interface]] is a means of interacting with a computer program where the user issues commands to the program by typing in successive lines of text (command lines). MySQL ships with many [[command line]] tools, from which the main interface is the {{Mono|mysql}} client.<ref name="mysql – The MySQL Command-Line Tool">{{Cite web |url=http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/mysql.html |title=mysql — The MySQL Command-Line Tool, MySQL Reference Manual |access-date=17 June 2015 |archive-date=17 June 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150617191142/http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/mysql.html |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="mysqladmin - the MySQL command-line tool">{{Cite web |url=http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/mysqladmin.html |title=mysqladmin – the MySQL command-line tool, MySQL Reference Manual |access-date=18 January 2013 |archive-date=12 January 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130112203324/http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/mysqladmin.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>
