+---+------+------------------------------+-----+
| 2 | home | http://wordpress-develop.dev | yes |
+---+------+------------------------------+-----+

MULTISITE USAGE

Please note that the global --url parameter will have no effect on this command. In order to query for data in a site other than your primary site, you will need to manually modify the table names to use the prefix that includes the site's ID.

For example, to get the home option for your second site, modify the example above like so:

$ wp db query 'SELECT option_value FROM wp_2_options WHERE option_name="home"' --skip-column-names
+----------------------+
| https://example2.com |
+----------------------+

To confirm the ID for the site you want to query, you can use the wp site list command:

# wp site list --fields=blog_id,url
+---------+-----------------------+
| blog_id | url                   |
+---------+-----------------------+
| 1       | https://example1.com/ |
| 2       | https://example2.com/ |
+---------+-----------------------+

OPTIONS

[<file>]
	The name of the SQL file to import. If '-', then reads from STDIN. If omitted, it will look for '{dbname}.sql'.

[--dbuser=<value>]
	Username to pass to mysql. Defaults to DB_USER.

[--dbpass=<value>]

[--<field>=<value>]
	Extra arguments to pass to mysql. [Refer to mysql binary docs](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysql-command-options.html).

[--skip-optimization]
	When using an SQL file, do not include speed optimization such as disabling auto-commit and key checks.

[--defaults]
	Loads the environment's MySQL option files. Default behavior is to skip loading them to avoid failures due to misconfiguration.

EXAMPLES

# Import MySQL from a file.
$ wp db import wordpress_dbase.sql
Success: Imported from 'wordpress_dbase.sql'.

wp db search

Finds a string in the database.

wp db search <search> [<tables>...] [--network] [--all-tables-with-prefix] [--all-tables] [--before_context=<num>] [--after_context=<num>] [--regex] [--regex-flags=<regex-flags>] [--regex-delimiter=<regex-delimiter>] [--table_column_once] [--one_line] [--matches_only] [--stats] [--table_column_color=<color_code>] [--id_color=<color_code>] [--match_color=<color_code>] [--fields=<fields>] [--format=<format>]

Searches through all of the text columns in a selection of database tables for a given string, Outputs colorized references to the string.

Defaults to searching through all tables registered to $wpdb. On multisite, this default is limited to the tables for the current site.

OPTIONS

<search>
	String to search for. The search is case-insensitive by default.

[<tables>...]
	One or more tables to search through for the string.

[--network]
	Search through all the tables registered to $wpdb in a multisite install.

[--all-tables-with-prefix]
	Search through all tables that match the registered table prefix, even if not registered on $wpdb. On one hand, sometimes plugins use tables without registering them to $wpdb. On another hand, this could return tables you don't expect. Overrides --network.

[--all-tables]
	Search through ALL tables in the database, regardless of the prefix, and even if not registered on $wpdb. Overrides --network and --all-tables-with-prefix.

[--before_context=<num>]
	Number of characters to display before the match.
	---
	default: 40
	---

[--after_context=<num>]
	Number of characters to display after the match.
	---
	default: 40
	---

[--regex]
	Runs the search as a regular expression (without delimiters). The search becomes case-sensitive (i.e. no PCRE flags are added). Delimiters must be escaped if they occur in the expression. Because the search is run on individual columns, you can use the `^` and `$` tokens to mark the start and end of a match, respectively.

[--regex-flags=<regex-flags>]
	Pass PCRE modifiers to the regex search (e.g. 'i' for case-insensitivity).

[--regex-delimiter=<regex-delimiter>]
	The delimiter to use for the regex. It must be escaped if it appears in the search string. The default value is the result of `chr(1)`.

[--table_column_once]
	Output the 'table:column' line once before all matching row lines in the table column rather than before each matching row.

[--one_line]
	Place the 'table:column' output on the same line as the row id and match ('table:column:id:match'). Overrides --table_column_once.

[--matches_only]
	Only output the string matches (including context). No 'table:column's or row ids are outputted.

[--stats]
	Output stats on the number of matches found, time taken, tables/columns/rows searched, tables skipped.

[--table_column_color=<color_code>]
	Percent color code to use for the 'table:column' output. For a list of available percent color codes, see below. Default '%G' (bright green).

[--id_color=<color_code>]
	Percent color code to use for the row id output. For a list of available percent color codes, see below. Default '%Y' (bright yellow).

[--match_color=<color_code>]
	Percent color code to use for the match (unless both before and after context are 0, when no color code is used). For a list of available percent color codes, see below. Default '%3%k' (black on a mustard background).

[--fields=<fields>]
	Get a specific subset of the fields.

[--format=<format>]
	Render output in a particular format.
	---
	options:
	  - table
	  - csv
	  - json
	  - yaml
	  - ids
	  - count
	---

The percent color codes available are:

Code	Color
%y	Yellow (dark) (mustard)
%g	Green (dark)
%b	Blue (dark)
%r	Red (dark)
%m	Magenta (dark)
%c	Cyan (dark)
