How to update the current delimiter in MySQL?

At first, let us determine the current delimiter in MySQL using the following syntax

\s

The above syntax will let you know about the current delimiter. Let us implement the above syntax.

The query is as follows

mysql> \s

The following is the output

If you change the delimiter then it will show the updated current delimiter.

Let us change the current delimiter with //. The syntax is as follows

DELIMITER //

The query is as follows to change the delimiter

mysql> DELIMITER //

Let us now check the current i.e. the updated delimiter.

The query is as follows

mysql> \s
