Linux arc 5.10.0-11-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.92-2 (2022-02-28) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Description
Since at least 10.5.12, but also affecting the latest 10.7.3, the prepackaged "mariadb-client" for Debian Linux does not accept typing of unicode characters (like e.g. German umlauts anymore). 10.3 did not have this problem.
The client used to be built with readline, now it seems to be built with an "EditLine wrapper":
$ mysql --help
|
mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.7.3-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline EditLine wrapper |
Copyright (c) 2000, 2018, Oracle, MariaDB Corporation Ab and others.
|
|
Usage: mysql [OPTIONS] [database]
|
|
Default options are read from the following files in the given order: |
/etc/my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf |
The following groups are read: mysql mariadb-client client client-server client-mariadb |
The following options may be given as the first argument:
|
--print-defaults Print the program argument list and exit. |
--no-defaults Don't read default options from any option file. |
The following specify which files/extra groups are read (specified before remaining options): |
--defaults-file=# Only read default options from the given file #. |
--defaults-extra-file=# Read this file after the global files are read. |
--defaults-group-suffix=# Additionally read default groups with # appended as a suffix. |
|
-?, --help Display this help and exit. |
-I, --help Synonym for -? |
--abort-source-on-error |
Abort 'source filename' operations in case of errors |
--auto-rehash 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.)
|
-A, --no-auto-rehash
|
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.
|
--auto-vertical-output
|
Automatically switch to vertical output mode if the |
result is wider than the terminal width.
|
-B, --batch Don't use history file. Disable interactive behavior. |
(Enables --silent.)
|
--binary-as-hex Print binary data as hex
|
--character-sets-dir=name |
Directory for character set files. |
--column-type-info Display column type information. |
-c, --comments Preserve comments. Send comments to the server. The
|
default is --skip-comments (discard comments), enable |
with --comments.
|
-C, --compress Use compression in server/client protocol. |
-#, --debug[=#] This is a non-debug version. Catch this and exit. |
--debug-check Check memory and open file usage at exit. |
-T, --debug-info Print some debug info at exit. |
-D, --database=name Database to use.
|
--default-character-set=name |
Set the default character set. |
--delimiter=name Delimiter to be used.
|
-e, --execute=name Execute command and quit. (Disables --force and history |
file.) |
-E, --vertical Print the output of a query (rows) vertically.
|
-f, --force Continue even if we get an SQL error. Sets |
abort-source-on-error to 0 |
-G, --named-commands
|
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.
|
-i, --ignore-spaces Ignore space after function names. |
--init-command=name SQL Command to execute when connecting to MariaDB server. |
Will automatically be re-executed when reconnecting.
|
--local-infile Enable/disable LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE. |
-b, --no-beep Turn off beep on error.
|
-h, --host=name Connect to host.
|
-H, --html Produce HTML output.
|
-X, --xml Produce XML output.
|
--line-numbers Write line numbers for errors. |
(Defaults to on; use --skip-line-numbers to disable.)
|
-L, --skip-line-numbers
|
Don't write line number for errors. |
-n, --unbuffered Flush buffer after each query.
|
--column-names Write column names in results. |
(Defaults to on; use --skip-column-names to disable.)
|
-N, --skip-column-names
|
Don't write column names in results. |
--sigint-ignore Ignore SIGINT (CTRL-C).
|
-o, --one-database Ignore statements except those that occur while the |
default database is the one named at the command line. |
--pager[=name] 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.
|
-p, --password[=name]
|
Password to use when connecting to server. If password is
|
not given it's asked from the tty. |
-P, --port=# Port number to use for connection or 0 for default to, in |
order of preference, my.cnf, $MYSQL_TCP_PORT,
|
/etc/services, built-in default (3306). |
--progress-reports Get progress reports for long running commands (like |
ALTER TABLE)
|
(Defaults to on; use --skip-progress-reports to disable.)
|
--prompt=name Set the command line prompt to this value. |
--protocol=name The protocol to use for connection (tcp, socket, pipe). |
-q, --quick 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. |
-r, --raw Write fields without conversion. Used with --batch.
|
--reconnect Reconnect if the connection is lost. Disable with |
--disable-reconnect. This option is enabled by default.
|
(Defaults to on; use --skip-reconnect to disable.)
|
-s, --silent Be more silent. Print results with a tab as separator, |
each row on new line.
|
-S, --socket=name The socket file to use for connection. |
--ssl Enable SSL for connection (automatically enabled with |
other flags).
|
--ssl-ca=name CA file in PEM format (check OpenSSL docs, implies |
--ssl).
|
--ssl-capath=name CA directory (check OpenSSL docs, implies --ssl).
|
--ssl-cert=name X509 cert in PEM format (implies --ssl). |
--ssl-cipher=name SSL cipher to use (implies --ssl).
|
--ssl-key=name X509 key in PEM format (implies --ssl). |
--ssl-crl=name Certificate revocation list (implies --ssl).
|
--ssl-crlpath=name Certificate revocation list path (implies --ssl).
|
--tls-version=name TLS protocol version for secure connection. |
--ssl-verify-server-cert
|
Verify server's "Common Name" in its cert against |
hostname used when connecting. This option is disabled by |
default.
|
-t, --table Output in table format. |
--tee=name 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. |
-u, --user=name User for login if not current user. |
-U, --safe-updates Only allow UPDATE and DELETE that uses keys.
|
-U, --i-am-a-dummy Synonym for option --safe-updates, -U. |
-v, --verbose Write more. (-v -v -v gives the table output format). |
-V, --version Output version information and exit. |
-w, --wait Wait and retry if connection is down. |
--connect-timeout=# Number of seconds before connection timeout. |
--max-allowed-packet=# |
The maximum packet length to send to or receive from
|
server.
|
--net-buffer-length=# |
The buffer size for TCP/IP and socket communication. |
--select-limit=# Automatic limit for SELECT when using --safe-updates. |
--max-join-size=# Automatic limit for rows in a join when using |
--safe-updates.
|
--secure-auth Refuse client connecting to server if it uses old |
(pre-4.1.1) protocol.
|
--server-arg=name Send embedded server this as a parameter.
|
--show-warnings Show warnings after every statement.
|
--plugin-dir=name Directory for client-side plugins. |
--default-auth=name Default authentication client-side plugin to use.
|
--binary-mode 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. |
--connect-expired-password
|
Notify the server that this client is prepared to handle
|
expired password sandbox mode even if --batch was |
specified.

According to the mariadb wiki, editline is "known" to cause problems with special characters. I suggest the packaging uses readline again. Alternatively, maybe the editline based implementation can be fixed? MySQL used to have a similar problem in the past which since then has been repaired: https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=102806
