You can use the mysql client to perform lookups in the MySQL manual. This saves from having to keep a browser window open in order to look things up.
So how does it work?

mysql> help select;

mysql> help show

mysql> help contents

CHECK TABLE performs an integrity check on the structure and content of your tables. For MyISAM tables, it will also update the index statistics. If problems appear, proceed to ...

REPAIR TABLE is for MyISAM tables only and will correct corrupted tables. InnoDB tables should be dumped with mysqldump and restored.

ANALYZE TABLE updates a table's information about keys for queries so that the data can be found faster and not having to hunt for it. This works for both MyISAM and InnoDB.

OPTIMIZE TABLE defragments MyISAM tables, sorts indexes, and updates the statistics to speed up searches.

If you are using Linux on your servers and you ssh to the server and then run the mysql client to access the server you can use a .my.cnf file to speed up access.
[client]
user =username
password =x&r%@ldc
host = localhost

Now you can just type ‘mysql’ and it connects you up automatically.
