NAME         top

       mysqltest - program to run test cases
       mysqltest_embedded - program to run embedded test cases

SYNOPSIS         top

       mysqltest [options] [db_name]
       mysqltest_embedded [options] [db_name]

DESCRIPTION         top

       The mysqltest program runs a test case against a MariaDB server and
       optionally compares the output with a result file. This program reads
       input written in a special test language. Typically, you invoke
       mysqltest via mysql-test-run.pl rather than invoking it directly.
       mysqltest_embedded is similar but is built with support for the
       libmysqld embedded server.
       Features of mysqltest:
       ·   Can send SQL statements to MariaDB servers for execution
       ·   Can execute external shell commands
       ·   Can test whether the result from an SQL statement or shell
           command is as expected
       ·   Can connect to one or more standalone mysqld servers and switch
           between connections
       ·   Can connect to an embedded server (libmysqld), if MariaDB is
           compiled with support for libmysqld. (In this case, the
           executable is named mysqltest_embedded rather than mysqltest.)
       By default, mysqltest reads the test case on the standard input. To
       run mysqltest this way, you normally invoke it like this:
           shell> mysqltest [options] [db_name] < test_file
       You can also name the test case file with a --test-file=file_name
       option.
       The exit value from mysqltest is 0 for success, 1 for failure, and 62
       if it skips the test case (for example, if after checking some
       preconditions it decides not to run the test).
       mysqltest supports the following options:
       ·   --help, -?
           Display a help message and exit.
       ·   --basedir=dir_name, -b dir_name
           The base directory for tests.
       ·   --character-sets-dir=path
           The directory where character sets are installed.
       ·   --compress, -C
           Compress all information sent between the client and the server
           if both support compression.
       ·   --connect-timeout=num
           This can be used to set the MYSQL_OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT parameter
           of mysql_options to change the number of seconds before an
           unsuccessful connection attempt times out.
       ·   --continue-on-error
           Continue test even if we got an error. This is mostly useful when
           testing a storage engine to see what from a test file it can
           execute, or to find all syntax errors in a newly created big test
           file.
       ·   --cursor-protocol
           Use cursors for prepared statements.
       ·   --database=db_name, -D db_name
           The default database to use.
       ·   --debug[=debug_options], -#[debug_options]
           Write a debugging log if MariaDB is built with debugging support.
           The default debug_options value is
           ´d:t:S:i:O,/tmp/mysqltest.trace´.
       ·   --debug-check
           Print some debugging information when the program exits.
       ·   --debug-info
           Print debugging information and memory and CPU usage statistics
           when the program exits.
       ·   --host=host_name, -h host_name
           Connect to the MariaDB server on the given host.
       ·   --logdir=dir_name
           The directory to use for log files.
       ·   --mark-progress
           Write the line number and elapsed time to test_file.progress.
       ·   --max-connect-retries=num
           The maximum number of connection attempts when connecting to
           server.
       ·   --max-connections=num
           The maximum number of simultaneous server connections per client
           (that is, per test). If not set, the maximum is 128. Minimum
           allowed limit is 8, maximum is 5120.
       ·   --no-defaults
           Do not read default options from any option files. If used, this
           must be the first option.
       ·   --non-blocking-api
           Use the non-blocking client API for communication.
       ·   --overlay-dir=dir_name
           Overlay directory.
       ·   --password[=password], -p[password]
           The password to use when connecting to the server. If you use the
           short option form (-p), you cannot have a space between the
           option and the password. If you omit the password value following
           the --password or -p option on the command line, you are prompted
           for one.
       ·   --plugin-dir=dir_name
           Directory for client-side plugins.
       ·   --port=port_num, -P port_num
           The TCP/IP port number to use for the connection or 0 for default
           to, in order of preference, my.cnf, $MYSQL_TCP_PORT,
           /etc/services, built-in default (3306).
       ·   --prologue=name
           Include the contents of the given file before processing the
           contents of the test file. The included file should have the same
           format as other mysqltest test files. This option has the same
           effect as putting a --source file_name command as the first line
           of the test file.
       ·   --protocol={TCP|SOCKET|PIPE|MEMORY}
           The connection protocol to use for connecting to the server. It
           is useful when the other connection parameters normally would
           cause a protocol to be used other than the one you want.
       ·   --ps-protocol
           Use the prepared-statement protocol for communication.
       ·   --quiet
           Suppress all normal output. This is a synonym for --silent.
       ·   --record, -r
           Record the output that results from running the test file into
           the file named by the --result-file option, if that option is
           given. It is an error to use this option without also using
           --result-file.
       ·   --result-file=file_name, -R file_name
           This option specifies the file for test case expected results.
           --result-file, together with --record, determines how mysqltest
           treats the test actual and expected results for a test case:
           ·   If the test produces no results, mysqltest exits with an
               error message to that effect, unless --result-file is given
               and the named file is an empty file.
           ·   Otherwise, if --result-file is not given, mysqltest sends
               test results to the standard output.
           ·   With --result-file but not --record, mysqltest reads the
               expected results from the given file and compares them with
               the actual results. If the results do not match, mysqltest
               writes a .reject file in the same directory as the result
               file, outputs a diff of the two files, and exits with an
               error.
           ·   With both --result-file and --record, mysqltest updates the
               given file by writing the actual test results to it.
       ·   --result-format-version=#
           Version of the result file format to use.
       ·   --server-arg=value, -A value
           Pass the argument as an argument to the embedded server. For
           example, --server-arg=--tmpdir=/tmp or --server-arg=--core. Up to
           64 arguments can be given.
       ·   --server-file=file_name, -F file_name
           Read arguments for the embedded server from the given file. The
           file should contain one argument per line.
       ·   --silent, -s
           Suppress all normal output.
       ·   --sleep=num, -T num
           Cause all sleep commands in the test case file to sleep num
           seconds. This option does not affect real_sleep commands.
           An option value of 0 can be used, which effectively disables
           sleep commands in the test case.
       ·   --socket=path, -S path
           The socket file to use when connecting to localhost (which is the
           default host).
       ·   --sp-protocol
           Execute DML statements within a stored procedure. For every DML
           statement, mysqltest creates and invokes a stored procedure that
           executes the statement rather than executing the statement
           directly.
       ·   --ssl
           Enable SSL for connection (automatically enabled with other
           flags). Disable with --skip-ssl.
       ·   --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 (check OpenSSL docs, implies --ssl).
       ·   --ssl-cipher=name
           SSL cipher to use (check OpenSSL docs, implies --ssl).
       ·   --ssl-key=name
           X509 key in PEM format (check OpenSSL docs, implies --ssl).
       ·   --ssl-crl=name
           Certificate revocation list (check OpenSSL docs, implies --ssl).
       ·   --ssl-crlpath=name
           Certificate revocation list path (check OpenSSL docs, implies
           --ssl).
       ·   --ssl-verify-server-cert
           Verify server's "Common Name" in its cert against hostname used
           when connecting. This option is disabled by default.
       ·   --suite-dir=dir_name
           Suite directory.
       ·   --tail-lines=nn
           Specify how many lines of the result to include in the output if
           the test fails because an SQL statement fails. The default is 0,
           meaning no lines of result printed.
       ·   --test-file=file_name, -x file_name
           Read test input from this file. The default is to read from the
           standard input.
       ·   --timer-file=file_name, -m file_name
           If given, the number of microseconds spent running the test will
           be written to this file. This is used by mysql-test-run.pl for
           its reporting.
       ·   --tmpdir=dir_name, -t dir_name
           The temporary directory where socket files are created.
       ·   --user=user_name, -u user_name
           The MariaDB user name to use when connecting to the server.
       ·   --verbose, -v
           Verbose mode. Print out more information about what the program
           does.
       ·   --version, -V
           Display version information and exit.
       ·   --view-protocol
           Every SELECT statement is wrapped inside a view.
