One of the biggest features that may be somewhat overlooked is the new MySQL Shell. Recall, MySQL Shell is a new way to interact with your MySQL servers. It has many advantages over the previous client that was bundled with the server, the most powerful being the ability to use Python or JavaScript directly from the shell.
In this chapter, you’ll explore MySQL Shell in more detail. You will learn more about its major features and options as well as see how to use the new shell to execute scripts interactively. As you will see, MySQL Shell is another critical element of the future of MySQL.
