mycli v1.3.0 Release Notes

  • 🔋 Features:

    • ➕ Add a new special command (\T) to change the table format on the fly. (Thanks: Jonathan Bruno) eg: mycli> \T tsv
    • ➕ Add --defaults-group-suffix to the command line. This lets the user specify a group to use in the my.cnf files. (Thanks: Irina Truong)

    In the my.cnf file a user can specify credentials for different databases and invoke mycli with the group name to use the appropriate credentials. eg:

      # my.cnf
  [client]
  user   = 'root'
  socket = '/tmp/mysql.sock'
  pager = 'less -RXSF'
  database = 'account'

  [clientamjith]
  user     = 'amjith'
  database  = 'user_management'

  $ mycli --defaults-group-suffix=amjith   # uses the [clientamjith] section in my.cnf

    • ➕ Add --defaults-file option to the command line. This allows specifying a my.cnf to use at launch. This also makes it play nice with mysql sandbox.

    • 👉 Make -p and --password take the password in commandline. This makes mycli a drop in replacement for mysql.
