defaults-group-suffix=_other ,  mysql  also reads the  [client_other]  and  [mysql_other] groups. For additional information about this and other option-file options, see Section 4.2.2.3, “Command-Line Options that Affect Option-File Handling” . Set the statement delimiter. The default is the semicolon character ( ; ). Disable named commands. Use the  \*  form only, or use named commands only at the beginning of a line ending with a semicolon ( ; ).  mysql  starts with this option  enabled  by default. However, even with this option, long-format commands still work from the first line. See Section 4.5.1.2, “mysql Client Commands” . Specifies the name of a DNS SRV record that determines the candidate hosts to use for establishing a connection to a MySQL server. For information about DNS SRV support in MySQL, see Section 4.2.6, “Connecting to the Server Using DNS SRV Records” . Suppose that DNS is configured with this SRV information for the  example.com  domain: To use that DNS SRV record, invoke  mysql  like this: mysql  then attempts a connection to each server in the group until a successful connection is established. A failure to connect occurs only if a connection cannot be established to any of the servers. The priority and weight values in the DNS SRV record determine the order in which servers should be tried. When invoked with  --dns-srv-name ,  mysql  attempts to establish TCP connections only. The  --dns-srv-name  option takes precedence over the  --host  option if both are given.  --dns-srv- name  causes connection establishment to use the  mysql_real_connect_dns_srv() C API function rather than  mysql_real_connect() . However, if the  connect  command is subsequently used at runtime and specifies a host name argument, that host name takes precedence over any  --dns-srv- name  option given at  mysql  startup to specify a DNS SRV record. This option was added in MySQL 8.0.22. • --enable-cleartext-plugin • --delimiter= str • --disable-named-commands • --dns-srv-name= name Name TTL Class Priority Weight Port Target _mysql._tcp.example.com. 86400 IN SRV 0 5 3306 host1.example.com _mysql._tcp.example.com. 86400 IN SRV 0 10 3306 host2.example.com _mysql._tcp.example.com. 86400 IN SRV 10 5 3306 host3.example.com _mysql._tcp.example.com. 86400 IN SRV 20 5 3306 host4.example.com mysql --dns-srv-name=_mysql._tcp.example.com Enable the  mysql_clear_password  cleartext authentication plugin.
