FBMYSQLTESTFR(1)      MySQL Database System	 FBMYSQLTESTFR(1)

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

SYNOPSIS
       mysqltest [options] [db_name]

       mysqltest_embedded [options] [db_name]

DESCRIPTION
       The mysqltest program runs a test case against a MySQL server and
       optionally compares the output with a result file. This program reads
       input written in a special test language. Typically, you invoke
       mysqltest using 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:

       o   Can send SQL statements to MySQL servers for execution

       o   Can execute external shell commands

       o   Can test whether the result from an SQL statement or shell command
	   is as expected

       o   Can connect to one or more standalone mysqld servers and switch
	   between connections

       o   Can connect to an embedded server (libmysqld), if MySQL 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:

       o   --help, -?

	   Display a help message and exit.

       o   --basedir=dir_name, -b dir_name

MySQL			    11/29/2010				1

FBMYSQLTESTFR(1)      MySQL Database System	 FBMYSQLTESTFR(1)

	   The base directory for tests.

       o   --character-sets-dir=path

	   The directory where character sets are installed.

       o   --compress, -C

	   Compress all information sent between the client and the server if
	   both support compression.

       o   --cursor-protocol

	   Use cursors for prepared statements.

       o   --database=db_name, -D db_name

	   The default database to use.

       o   --debug[=debug_options], -#[debug_options]

	   Write a debugging log if MySQL is built with debugging support. The
	   default debug_options value is 'd:t:S:i:O,/tmp/mysqltest.trace'.

       o   --debug-check

	   Print some debugging information when the program exits.

       o   --debug-info

	   Print debugging information and memory and CPU usage statistics
	   when the program exits.

       o   --host=host_name, -h host_name

	   Connect to the MySQL server on the given host.

       o   --include=file_name, -i file_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.

       o   --logdir=dir_name

	   The directory to use for log files.

       o   --mark-progress

	   Write the line number and elapsed time to test_file.progress.

       o   --max-connect-retries=num

MySQL			    11/29/2010				2

FBMYSQLTESTFR(1)      MySQL Database System	 FBMYSQLTESTFR(1)

	   The maximum number of connection attempts when connecting to
	   server.

       o   --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.

	   This option is available from MySQL 5.1.45.

       o   --no-defaults

	   Do not read default options from any option files. If used, this
	   must be the first option.

       o   --plugin-dir=path

	   The directory in which to look for plugins. It may be necessary to
	   specify this option if the default_auth argument is used for the
	   connect() command to specify an authentication plugin but mysqltest
	   does not find it. This option was added in MySQL 5.5.7.

       o   --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.

       o   --port=port_num, -P port_num

	   The TCP/IP port number to use for the connection.

       o   --protocol={TCP|SOCKET|PIPE|MEMORY}

	   Choose the protocol for communication with the server.  SOCKET is
	   default.

	   The --protocol option is available from MySQL 5.1.51. It is ignored
	   if running with the embedded server.

       o   --ps-protocol

	   Use the prepared-statement protocol for communication.

       o   --quiet

	   Suppress all normal output. This is a synonym for --silent.

       o   --record, -r

	   Record the output that results from running the test file into the

MySQL			    11/29/2010				3

FBMYSQLTESTFR(1)      MySQL Database System	 FBMYSQLTESTFR(1)

	   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.

       o   --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:

	   o   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.

	   o   Otherwise, if --result-file is not given, mysqltest sends test
	       results to the standard output.

	   o   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.

	   o   With both --result-file and --record, mysqltest updates the
	       given file by writing the actual test results to it.

       o   --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.

       o   --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.

       o   --silent, -s

	   Suppress all normal output.

       o   --skip-safemalloc

	   Do not use memory allocation checking.

       o   --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.

	   As of MySQL 5.0.23, an option value of 0 can be used, which
	   effectively disables sleep commands in the test case.

       o   --socket=path, -S path

MySQL			    11/29/2010				4

FBMYSQLTESTFR(1)      MySQL Database System	 FBMYSQLTESTFR(1)

	   The socket file to use when connecting to localhost (which is the
	   default host).

       o   --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.

       o   --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.

       o   --test-file=file_name, -x file_name

	   Read test input from this file. The default is to read from the
	   standard input.

       o   --timer-file=file_name, -m file_name

	   If given, the number of millisecond spent running the test will be
	   written to this file. This is used by mysql-test-run.pl for its
	   reporting.

       o   --tmpdir=dir_name, -t dir_name

	   The temporary directory where socket files are created.

       o   --user=user_name, -u user_name

	   The MySQL user name to use when connecting to the server.

       o   --verbose, -v

	   Verbose mode. Print out more information about what the program
	   does.

       o   --version, -V

	   Display version information and exit.

       o   --view-protocol

	   Every SELECT statement is wrapped inside a view. This option was
	   added in MySQL 5.0.19.
