How to clear MySQL screen console in Windows?

The title is my question. I googled and try something like

mysql> !\ clear
mysql> !\ cls
mysql> system cls
mysql> system clear 

blah blah ...

but none of them works.

Anyone show me how to clear screen, just like cls command in Windows?


I don't think Any of the commands will work.

In Linux Ctrl+L will do the job. In Windows there is no equivalent. You can only exit MySQL console by executing quit, execute cls and then re-enter MySQL console.


This is not possible on Windows.

There is an open bug for this issue: Bug #58680: Windows Clear Screen Command


mysql> 
root@xion:~# mysql -uroot -ppassword;
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 33291

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> \! clear
