int mysql_options(MYSQL *mysql, enum mysql_option option, const void *arg)

Description

Can be used to set extra connect options and affect behavior for a connection. This function may be called multiple times to set several options. To retrieve option values, use mysql_get_option().

Call mysql_options() after mysql_init() and before mysql_connect() or mysql_real_connect().

The option argument is the option that you want to set; the arg argument is the value for the option. If the option is an integer, specify a pointer to the value of the integer as the arg argument.

Options for information such as SSL certificate and key files are used to establish an encrypted connection if such connections are available, but do not enforce any requirement that the connection obtained be encrypted. To require an encrypted connection, use the technique described in Section 28.7.22, “C API Encrypted Connection Support”.

The following list describes the possible options, their effect, and how arg is used for each option. For option descriptions that indicate arg is unused, its value is irrelevant; it is conventional to pass 0.

  • MYSQL_DEFAULT_AUTH (argument type: char *)

    The name of the authentication plugin to use.

  • MYSQL_ENABLE_CLEARTEXT_PLUGIN (argument type: bool *)

    Enable the mysql_clear_password cleartext authentication plugin. See Section 6.4.1.4, “Client-Side Cleartext Pluggable Authentication”.

  • MYSQL_INIT_COMMAND (argument type: char *)

    SQL statement to execute when connecting to the MySQL server. Automatically re-executed if reconnection occurs.

  • MYSQL_OPT_BIND (argument: char *)

    The network interface from which to connect to the server. This is used when the client host has multiple network interfaces. The argument is a host name or IP address (specified as a string).

  • MYSQL_OPT_CAN_HANDLE_EXPIRED_PASSWORDS (argument type: bool *)

    Indicate whether the client can handle expired passwords. See Section 6.2.16, “Server Handling of Expired Passwords”.

  • MYSQL_OPT_COMPRESS (argument: not used)

    Compress all information sent between the client and the server if possible. See Section 4.2.6, “Connection Compression Control”.

    As of MySQL 8.0.18, MYSQL_OPT_COMPRESS becomes a legacy option, due to the introduction of the MYSQL_OPT_COMPRESSION_ALGORITHMS option for more control over connection compression (see Connection Compression Configuration). The meaning of MYSQL_OPT_COMPRESS depends on whether MYSQL_OPT_COMPRESSION_ALGORITHMS is specified:

    • When MYSQL_OPT_COMPRESSION_ALGORITHMS is not specified, enabling MYSQL_OPT_COMPRESS is equivalent to specifying a client-side algorithm set of zlib,uncompressed.

    • When MYSQL_OPT_COMPRESSION_ALGORITHMS is specified, enabling MYSQL_OPT_COMPRESS is equivalent to specifying an algorithm set of zlib and the full client-side algorithm set is the union of zlib plus the algorithms specified by MYSQL_OPT_COMPRESSION_ALGORITHMS. For example, with MYSQL_OPT_COMPRESS enabled and MYSQL_OPT_COMPRESSION_ALGORITHMS set to zlib,zstd, the permitted-algorithm set is zlib plus zlib,zstd; that is, zlib,zstd. With MYSQL_OPT_COMPRESS enabled and MYSQL_OPT_COMPRESSION_ALGORITHMS set to zstd,uncompressed, the permitted-algorithm set is zlib plus zstd,uncompressed; that is, zlib,zstd,uncompressed.

    As of MySQL 8.0.18, MYSQL_OPT_COMPRESS is deprecated. It will be removed in a future MySQL version. See Legacy Connection Compression Configuration.

  • MYSQL_OPT_COMPRESSION_ALGORITHMS (argument type: const char *)

    The permitted compression algorithms for connections to the server. The available algorithms are the same as for the protocol_compression_algorithms system variable. If this option is not specified, the default value is uncompressed.

    For more information, see Section 4.2.6, “Connection Compression Control”.

    This option was added in MySQL 8.0.18.

  • MYSQL_OPT_CONNECT_ATTR_DELETE (argument type: char *)

    Given a key name, this option deletes a key-value pair from the current set of connection attributes to pass to the server at connect time. The argument is a pointer to a null-terminated string naming the key. Comparison of the key name with existing keys is case-sensitive.

    See also the description for the MYSQL_OPT_CONNECT_ATTR_RESET option, as well as the description for the MYSQL_OPT_CONNECT_ATTR_ADD option in the description of the mysql_options4() function. That function description also includes a usage example.

    The Performance Schema exposes connection attributes through the session_connect_attrs and session_account_connect_attrs tables. See Section 26.12.9, “Performance Schema Connection Attribute Tables”.

  • MYSQL_OPT_CONNECT_ATTR_RESET (argument not used)

    This option resets (clears) the current set of connection attributes to pass to the server at connect time.

    See also the description for the MYSQL_OPT_CONNECT_ATTR_DELETE option, as well as the description for the MYSQL_OPT_CONNECT_ATTR_ADD option in the description of the mysql_options4() function. That function description also includes a usage example.

    The Performance Schema exposes connection attributes through the session_connect_attrs and session_account_connect_attrs tables. See Section 26.12.9, “Performance Schema Connection Attribute Tables”.

  • MYSQL_OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT (argument type: unsigned int *)

    The connect timeout in seconds.

  • MYSQL_OPT_GET_SERVER_PUBLIC_KEY (argument type: bool *)

    Enables the client to request from the server the public key required for RSA key pair-based password exchange. This option applies to clients that authenticate with the caching_sha2_password authentication plugin. For that plugin, the server does not send the public key unless requested. This option is ignored for accounts that do not authenticate with that plugin. It is also ignored if RSA-based password exchange is not used, as is the case when the client connects to the server using a secure connection.

    If MYSQL_SERVER_PUBLIC_KEY is given and specifies a valid public key file, it takes precedence over MYSQL_OPT_GET_SERVER_PUBLIC_KEY.

    For information about the caching_sha2_password plugin, see Section 6.4.1.3, “Caching SHA-2 Pluggable Authentication”.

  • MYSQL_OPT_LOCAL_INFILE (argument type: optional pointer to unsigned int)

    This option affects client-side LOCAL capability for LOAD DATA operations. By default, LOCAL capability is determined by the default compiled into the MySQL client library (see Section 13.2.7, “LOAD DATA Syntax”). To control this capability explicitly, invoke mysql_options() to set the MYSQL_OPT_LOCAL_INFILE option:

    • LOCAL is disabled if the pointer points to an unsigned int that has a zero value.

    • LOCAL is enabled if no pointer is given or if the pointer points to an unsigned int that has a nonzero value.

    Successful use of a LOCAL load operation by a client also requires that the server permits it.

  • MYSQL_OPT_MAX_ALLOWED_PACKET (argument: unsigned long *)

    This option sets the max_allowed_packet system variable. If the mysql argument is non-NULL, the call sets the session system variable value for that session. If mysql is NULL, the call sets the global system variable value.

  • MYSQL_OPT_NAMED_PIPE (argument: not used)

    Use a named pipe to connect to the MySQL server on Windows, if the server permits named-pipe connections.

  • MYSQL_OPT_NET_BUFFER_LENGTH (argument: unsigned long *)

    This option sets the net_buffer_length system variable. If the mysql argument is non-NULL, the call sets the session system variable value for that session. If mysql is NULL, the call sets the global system variable value.

  • MYSQL_OPT_OPTIONAL_RESULTSET_METADATA (argument type: bool *)

    This flag makes result set metadata optional. It is an alternative way of setting the CLIENT_OPTIONAL_RESULTSET_METADATA connection flag for the mysql_real_connect() function. For details about managing result set metadata transfer, see Section 28.7.27, “C API Optional Result Set Metadata”.

  • MYSQL_OPT_PROTOCOL (argument type: unsigned int *)

    Type of protocol to use. Specify one of the enum values of mysql_protocol_type defined in mysql.h.

  • MYSQL_OPT_READ_TIMEOUT (argument type: unsigned int *)

    The timeout in seconds for each attempt to read from the server. There are retries if necessary, so the total effective timeout value is three times the option value. You can set the value so that a lost connection can be detected earlier than the TCP/IP Close_Wait_Timeout value of 10 minutes.

  • MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT (argument type: bool *)

    Enable or disable automatic reconnection to the server if the connection is found to have been lost. Reconnect is off by default; this option provides a way to set reconnection behavior explicitly. See Section 28.7.28, “C API Automatic Reconnection Control”.

  • MYSQL_OPT_RETRY_COUNT (argument type: unsigned int *)

    The retry count for I/O-related system calls that are interrupted while connecting to the server or communicating with it. If this option is not specified, the default value is 1 (1 retry if the initial call is interrupted for 2 tries total).

    This option can be used only by clients that link against a C client library compiled with NDB Cluster support.

  • MYSQL_OPT_SSL_CA (argument type: char *)

    The path name of the Certificate Authority (CA) certificate file. This option, if used, must specify the same certificate used by the server.

  • MYSQL_OPT_SSL_CAPATH (argument type: char *)

    The path name of the directory that contains trusted SSL CA certificate files.

  • MYSQL_OPT_SSL_CERT (argument type: char *)

    The path name of the client public key certificate file.

  • MYSQL_OPT_SSL_CIPHER (argument type: char *)

    The list of permissible ciphers for SSL encryption.

  • MYSQL_OPT_SSL_CRL (argument type: char *)

    The path name of the file containing certificate revocation lists.

  • MYSQL_OPT_SSL_CRLPATH (argument type: char *)

    The path name of the directory that contains files containing certificate revocation lists.

  • MYSQL_OPT_SSL_FIPS_MODE (argument type: unsigned int *)

    Controls whether to enable FIPS mode on the client side. The MYSQL_OPT_SSL_FIPS_MODE option differs from other MYSQL_OPT_SSL_xxx options in that it is not used to establish encrypted connections, but rather to affect which cryptographic operations are permitted. See Section 6.5, “FIPS Support”.

    Permitted option values are SSL_FIPS_MODE_OFF, SSL_FIPS_MODE_ON, and SSL_FIPS_MODE_STRICT.

    Note

    If the OpenSSL FIPS Object Module is not available, the only permitted value for MYSQL_OPT_SSL_FIPS_MODE is SSL_FIPS_MODE_OFF. In this case, setting MYSQL_OPT_SSL_FIPS_MODE to SSL_FIPS_MODE_ON or SSL_FIPS_MODE_STRICT causes the client to produce a warning at startup and to operate in non-FIPS mode.

  • MYSQL_OPT_SSL_KEY (argument type: char *)

    The path name of the client private key file.

  • MYSQL_OPT_SSL_MODE (argument type: unsigned int *)

    The security state to use for the connection to the server: SSL_MODE_DISABLED, SSL_MODE_PREFERRED, SSL_MODE_REQUIRED, SSL_MODE_VERIFY_CA, SSL_MODE_VERIFY_IDENTITY. If this option is not specified, the default is SSL_MODE_PREFERRED. These modes are the permitted values of the mysql_ssl_mode enumeration defined in mysql.h. For more information about the security states, see the description of --ssl-mode in Command Options for Encrypted Connections.

  • MYSQL_OPT_TLS_CIPHERSUITES (argument type: char *)

    Which TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the client permits for encrypted connections. The value is a list of one or more colon-separated ciphersuite names. The ciphersuites that can be named for this option depend on the SSL library used to compile MySQL. For details, see Section 6.3.2, “Encrypted Connection Protocols and Ciphers”.

    This option was added in MySQL 8.0.16.

  • MYSQL_OPT_TLS_VERSION (argument type: char *)

    Which protocols the client permits for encrypted connections. The value is a list of one or more comma-separated protocol names. The protocols that can be named for this option depend on the SSL library used to compile MySQL. For details, see Section 6.3.2, “Encrypted Connection Protocols and Ciphers”.

  • MYSQL_OPT_USE_RESULT (argument: not used)

    This option is unused.

  • MYSQL_OPT_WRITE_TIMEOUT (argument type: unsigned int *)

    The timeout in seconds for each attempt to write to the server. There is a retry if necessary, so the total effective timeout value is two times the option value.

  • MYSQL_OPT_ZSTD_COMPRESSION_LEVEL (argument type: unsigned int *)

    The compression level to use for connections to the server that use the zstd compression algorithm. The permitted levels are from 1 to 22, with larger values indicating increasing levels of compression. If this option is not specified, the default zstd compression level is 3. The compression level setting has no effect on connections that do not use zstd compression.

    For more information, see Section 4.2.6, “Connection Compression Control”.

    This option was added in MySQL 8.0.18.

  • MYSQL_PLUGIN_DIR (argument type: char *)

    The directory in which to look for client plugins.

  • MYSQL_READ_DEFAULT_FILE (argument type: char *)

    Read options from the named option file instead of from my.cnf.

  • MYSQL_READ_DEFAULT_GROUP (argument type: char *)

    Read options from the named group from my.cnf or the file specified with MYSQL_READ_DEFAULT_FILE.

  • MYSQL_REPORT_DATA_TRUNCATION (argument type: bool *)

    Enable or disable reporting of data truncation errors for prepared statements using the error member of MYSQL_BIND structures. (Default: enabled.)

  • MYSQL_SERVER_PUBLIC_KEY (argument type: char *)

    The path name of the file containing a client-side copy of the public key required by the server for RSA key pair-based password exchange. The file must be in PEM format. This option applies to clients that authenticate with the sha256_password or caching_sha2_password authentication plugin. This option is ignored for accounts that do not authenticate with one of those plugins. It is also ignored if RSA-based password exchange is not used, as is the case when the client connects to the server using a secure connection.

    If MYSQL_SERVER_PUBLIC_KEY is given and specifies a valid public key file, it takes precedence over MYSQL_OPT_GET_SERVER_PUBLIC_KEY.

    For information about the sha256_password and caching_sha2_password plugins, see Section 6.4.1.2, “SHA-256 Pluggable Authentication”, and Section 6.4.1.3, “Caching SHA-2 Pluggable Authentication”.

  • MYSQL_SET_CHARSET_DIR (argument type: char *)

    The path name of the directory that contains character set definition files.

  • MYSQL_SET_CHARSET_NAME (argument type: char *)

    The name of the character set to use as the default character set. The argument can be MYSQL_AUTODETECT_CHARSET_NAME to cause the character set to be autodetected based on the operating system setting (see Section 10.4, “Connection Character Sets and Collations”).

  • MYSQL_SHARED_MEMORY_BASE_NAME (argument type: char *)

    The name of the shared-memory object for communication to the server on Windows, if the server supports shared-memory connections. Specify the same value as used for the shared_memory_base_name system variable. of the mysqld server you want to connect to.

The client group is always read if you use MYSQL_READ_DEFAULT_FILE or MYSQL_READ_DEFAULT_GROUP.

The specified group in the option file may contain the following options.
