MariaDB Shell: An Upgraded Admin Tool
summary
MariaDB Shell replaces mariadb-admin as a single, flag‑compatible CLI for multiple MariaDB products, with colored output, CSV/JSON/pretty JSON and classic output modes, pager support, and direct shell command execution; it adds a warm command to preload tables into in‑memory caches and a fish collector wizard that captures CPU/RAM/disk and DB stats, writes snapshots or runs background collection, and generates HTML reports—demonstrated on a 300k‑row employees table and working as shown.
