Description
When true, various pieces of information is output to
any configured TraceListeners. See
"Using the MySQL Connector/Net Trace Source Object"
for further details.
This option was introduced in Connector/Net 6.1.1.
The backend representation of a GUID type was
changed from
BINARY(16)
done to allow developers to use the server function
[967] to populate a GUID table -
UUID()
generates a 36-character string. Developers of
older applications can add
to the connection string to use a GUID of data type
BINARY(16).
This option was deprecated in Connector/Net 5.2.2. All
code should now be written using the '@' symbol as the
parameter marker.
The password for the MySQL account being used.
When set to or
false
security-sensitive information, such as the password, is
not returned as part of the connection if the connection
is open or has ever been in an open state. Resetting
the connection string resets all connection string
values, including the password. Recognized values are
true, false, yes, and no.
When set to the name of a named pipe, the
attempts to connect to MySQL
MySqlConnection
on that named pipe. This setting only applies to the
Windows platform.
The port MySQL is using to listen for connections. This
value is ignored if Unix socket is used.
Sets the size of the stored procedure cache. By default,
Connector/Net stores the metadata (input/output data
types) about the last 25 stored procedures used. To
disable the stored procedure cache, set the value to
zero (0). This option was added in Connector/Net 5.0.2
and Connector/Net 1.0.9.
Specifies the type of connection to make to the server.
Values can be:
socket
for a named pipe connection,
pipe
socket connection,
memory
memory.
Indicates if this connection is to use replicated servers.
Setting this option to
false
ignores a column's binary flags as set by the server.
This option was added in Connector/Net version 5.1.3.
The name of the shared memory object to use for
communication if the connection protocol is set to
memory.
Allow SQL Server syntax. When set to true, enables
Connector/Net to support square brackets around
symbols instead of backticks. This enables Visual
Studio wizards that bracket symbols with [] to work with
Section 20.2.5.14,
to CHAR(36). This was
