The 'mysql' command is your gateway from shell to mysql. Feed it one or more SQL statements (seperated by ; if there's more than one) on stdin and it does queries and returns results on stdout.

Code:
# example using no databases
$ echo "SHOW DATABASES;" | mysql -uusername
Database
information_schema
gate
satellite
solar
# example that uses the 'solar' database
$ echo "SHOW TABLES" | mysql -uusername solar
$

...the 'solar' database happens to be empty right now but you get the idea.

You can also supply password with -ppassword and so forth. See its myriad options in man mysql
