Comments - About MariaDB Connector/J

Hi, If performance_schema variable is activated, in Table performance_schema.session_connect_attrs, for each connection, you will have :

• _client_name (example : MariaDB connector/J)
• _client_version ( 1.5.4-SNAPSHOT)
• _os (example : Windows 10)
• _pid (example : 1636)
• _thread (example : 13)
• _java_vendor (example : Oracle Corporation)
• _java_version (example : 1.8.0_91)

You can add specific information using option "connectionAttributes"

Sorry, updating the answer delete your comment. New version 1.5.4, Connection.setClientInfo() permit 3 differents Session-Specific Client Information :

• ApplicationName
• ClientUser
• ClientHostname

This without having performance_schema variable activated.

Hi again, When will version 1.5.4 be released?

version 1.5.4 is available on maven central or will be available on site download in a few hours.

Great! So, I have a MariaDB 10.1.14 and the session_connect_attrs table does not have these three new parameters, and I create a short javascript that uses the new connector to make a short connection, make a simple select and then logout, what will happen? I tried to add new variables to this table but my user didn't have the permission to do it, nor did the root user. Obviously, I switched on the performance_schema.

I may have not been clear.

There is in fact 2 differents way to achieve that : standard JDBC : using connection , you can add some specific informations:

Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.setProperty("ApplicationName", "your application");
properties.setProperty("ClientUser", "your user");
properties.setProperty("ClientHostname", "myhost");

connection.setClientInfo(properties); and so after that, you will be able to retrieve those informations : String currentHost = connection.getClientInfo("myhost");

other solution is the first explain : If performance_schema variable is activated on server, in Table performance_schema.session_connect_attrs, for each connection, you will have :

• _client_name (example : MariaDB connector/J)
• _client_version ( 1.5.4-SNAPSHOT)
• _os (example : Windows 10)
• _pid (example : 1636)
• _thread (example : 13)
• _java_vendor (example : Oracle Corporation)
• _java_version (example : 1.8.0_91)

You can add specific information using option "connectionAttributes" . Example connecting with url "jdbc:mariadb:localhost/db?user=xxx&connectionAttributes=key1:value1,key2,value2"

you will have then have 2 additionnals informations :

• key1 with value "value1"
• key2 with value "value2"

It works great, thank you so mcuh for the help and for all the fast responses!

Excellent, thanks!
