Overview
The mariadb
utility, which is also called MariaDB Client, provides SQL shell access to MariaDB Enterprise Server 10.6. It supports both interactive and non-interactive use.
MariaDB Enterprise Server 10.6 also provides a symbolic link to the utility's legacy name (mysql
).
mariadb Options for MariaDB Enterprise Server 10.6
Option | Description |
---|---|
Abort 'source filename' operations in case of errors | |
Enable automatic rehashing. One doesn't need to use 'rehash' to get table and field completion, but startup and reconnecting may take a longer time. Disable with --disable-auto-rehash. (Defaults to on; use --skip-auto-rehash to disable.) | |
Automatically switch to vertical output mode if the result is wider than the terminal width. | |
Don't use history file. Disable interactive behavior. (Enables --silent.) | |
Print binary data as hex | |
Binary mode allows certain character sequences to be processed as data that would otherwise be treated with a special meaning by the parser. Specifically, this switch turns off parsing of all client commands except \C and DELIMITER in non-interactive mode (i.e., when binary mode is combined with either 1) piped input, 2) the --batch mysql option, or 3) the 'source' command). Also, in binary mode, occurrences of '\r\n' and ASCII '\0' are preserved within strings, whereas by default, '\r\n' is translated to '\n' and '\0' is disallowed in user input. | |
Directory for character set files. | |
Write column names in results. (Defaults to on; use --skip-column-names to disable.) | |
Display column type information. | |
Preserve comments. Send comments to the server. The default is --skip-comments (discard comments), enable with --comments. | |
Use compression in server/client protocol. | |
Notify the server that this client is prepared to handle expired password sandbox mode even if --batch was specified. | |
Number of seconds before connection timeout. | |
Database to use. | |
This is a non-debug version. Catch this and exit. | |
Check memory and open file usage at exit. | |
Print some debug info at exit. | |
Default authentication client-side plugin to use. | |
Set the default character set. | |
Read this file after the global files are read. | |
Only read default options from the given file #. | |
Additionally read default groups with # appended as a suffix. | |
Delimiter to be used. | |
Obsolete option. Exists only for MySQL compatibility. | |
Execute command and quit. (Disables --force and history file.) | |
Continue even if we get an SQL error. Sets abort-source-on-error to 0 | |
Display this help and exit. | |
Connect to host. | |
Produce HTML output. | |
Synonym for option --safe-updates, -U. | |
Ignore space after function names. | |
SQL Command to execute when connecting to MariaDB server. Will automatically be re-executed when reconnecting. | |
Write line numbers for errors. (Defaults to on; use --skip-line-numbers to disable.) | |
Enable/disable LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE. | |
The maximum packet length to send to or receive from server. | |
Automatic limit for rows in a join when using --safe-updates. | |
Enable named commands. Named commands mean this program's internal commands; see mysql> help . When enabled, the named commands can be used from any line of the query, otherwise only from the first line, before an enter. Disable with --disable-named-commands. This option is disabled by default. | |
The buffer size for TCP/IP and socket communication. | |
No automatic rehashing. One has to use 'rehash' to get table and field completion. This gives a quicker start of mysql and disables rehashing on reconnect. | |
Turn off beep on error. | |
Don't read default options from any option file. | |
Ignore statements except those that occur while the default database is the one named at the command line. | |
Pager to use to display results. If you don't supply an option, the default pager is taken from your ENV variable PAGER. Valid pagers are less, more, cat [> filename], etc. See interactive help (\h) also. This option does not work in batch mode. Disable with --disable-pager. This option is disabled by default. | |
Password to use when connecting to server. If password is not given it's asked from the tty. | |
Directory for client-side plugins. | |
Port number to use for connection or 0 for default to, in order of preference, my.cnf, $MYSQL_ | |
Print the program argument list and exit. | |
Get progress reports for long running commands (like ALTER TABLE) (Defaults to on; use --skip-progress-reports to disable.) | |
Set the command line prompt to this value. | |
The protocol to use for connection (tcp, socket, pipe). | |
Don't cache result, print it row by row. This may slow down the server if the output is suspended. Doesn't use history file. | |
Write fields without conversion. Used with --batch. | |
Reconnect if the connection is lost. Disable with --disable-reconnect. This option is enabled by default. (Defaults to on; use --skip-reconnect to disable.) | |
Only allow UPDATE and DELETE that uses keys. | |
Refuse client connecting to server if it uses old (pre-4.1.1) protocol. | |
Automatic limit for SELECT when using --safe-updates. | |
Send embedded server this as a parameter. | |
Show warnings after every statement. | |
Ignore SIGINT (CTRL-C). | |
Be more silent. Print results with a tab as separator, each row on new line. | |
Don't write column names in results. | |
Don't write line number for errors. | |
The socket file to use for connection. | |
Enable SSL for connection (automatically enabled with other flags). | |
CA file in PEM format (check OpenSSL docs, implies --ssl). | |
CA directory (check OpenSSL docs, implies --ssl). | |
X509 cert in PEM format (implies --ssl). | |
SSL cipher to use (implies --ssl). | |
Certificate revocation list (implies --ssl). | |
Certificate revocation list path (implies --ssl). | |
X509 key in PEM format (implies --ssl). | |
Verify server's "Common Name" in its cert against hostname used when connecting. This option is disabled by default. | |
Output in table format. | |
Append everything into outfile. See interactive help (\h) also. Does not work in batch mode. Disable with --disable-tee. This option is disabled by default. | |
TLS protocol version for secure connection. | |
Flush buffer after each query. | |
User for login if not current user. | |
Write more. (-v -v -v gives the table output format). | |
Output version information and exit. | |
Print the output of a query (rows) vertically. | |
Wait and retry if connection is down. | |
Produce XML output. |
