[MDEV-26660] Command line clients don't work with Connector/C configuration files Created: 2021-09-22  Updated: 2021-09-22

 Description   

Since mysql command line clients use their own configuration file parser, it is not possible to add Connector/C specific options in e.g. client section

Example:

[client]
 
reconnect=1
 
ssl_enforce=1

Starting command line client now ends up with an error:

$ mysql
 
mysql: [ERROR] unknown variable 'ssl_enforce=1'.

Possible solutions:

  • read options via MariaDB Connector/C
  • ignore unknown keywords
  • support an additional default section [connector] in Connector/C which will contain key/value pairs only used by Connector/C.

Everything that is in config file, should be possible to pass via command line. This is the general idea. If clients do not support some obscure C/C options, they need to fix that, and not config file only.
