About:
MySQL Shell is an advanced command-line interface and code editor for MySQL Database Server. It supports interactive JavaScript, Python, and SQL scripting, providing a unified environment for both DBAs and developers. Its key value proposition is enabling modern development workflows and administration tasks, including InnoDB Cluster management and Document Store operations.
Key Features:
  • Multi-language scripting (JavaScript, Python, SQL)
  • Admin API for managing InnoDB Clusters and ReplicaSets
  • Document Store support for JSON documents
  • Interactive code editor with auto-completion
  • MySQL Shell dump and load utilities for logical backups
Use Cases:
  • Administering MySQL InnoDB Clusters and ReplicaSets
  • Developing applications against the MySQL Document Store
  • Performing logical backups and migrations using dump utilities
  • Automating database tasks with Python or JavaScript scripts
Alternatives:
  • mysql – Standard CLI client; lacks advanced scripting and cluster management APIs
  • TablePlus – GUI client; offers visual interface instead of a scriptable CLI
