The permissible ciphersuites for encrypted connections that use TLSv1.3. 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 TLS Protocols and Ciphers” . This option was added in MySQL 8.0.16. The permissible TLS protocols 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 TLS Protocols and Ciphers” . The user name of the MySQL account to use for connecting to the server. Verbose mode. Print more information about what the program does. This option can be used multiple times to increase the amount of information. Display version information and exit. 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. 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 4.2.8, “Connection Compression Control” . This option was added in MySQL 8.0.18. mysqlslap  is a diagnostic program designed to emulate client load for a MySQL server and to report the timing of each stage. It works as if multiple clients are accessing the server. Invoke  mysqlslap  like this: mysqlslap [ options ] 4.5.8 mysqlslap — A Load Emulation Client Some options such as  --create  or  --query  enable you to specify a string containing an SQL statement or a file containing statements. If you specify a file, by default it must contain one statement per line. (That is, the implicit statement delimiter is the newline character.) Use the  --delimiter  option to specify a different delimiter, which enables you to specify statements that span multiple lines or place multiple statements on a single line. You cannot include comments in a file;  mysqlslap  does not understand them. 539
