+Please note that the global `--url` parameter will have no effect on this command.
+In order to query for data in a site other than your primary site,
+you will need to manually modify the table names to use the prefix that includes the site's ID.
+
+For example, to get the `home` option for your second site, modify the example above like so:
+
+    $ wp db query 'SELECT option_value FROM wp_2_options WHERE option_name="home"' --skip-column-names

+    | https://example2.com |
+    +----------------------+
+
+To confirm the ID for the site you want to query, you can use the `wp site list` command:
+
+    # wp site list --fields=blog_id,url
+    +---------+-----------------------+
+    | blog_id | url                   |
