MYSQLTEST(1)                 MySQL Database System                MYSQLTEST(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 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:
       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
           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
           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   --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   --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
           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
           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.
