ZIP ArchiveThis chapter describes how to obtain and install MySQL. A summary of the procedure follows and later sections provide the details. If you plan to upgrade an existing version of MySQL to a newer version rather than install MySQL for the first time, see Section 2.10.1, “Upgrading MySQL”, for information about upgrade procedures and about issues that you should consider before upgrading.
If you are interested in migrating to MySQL from another database system, see Section A.8, “MySQL 8.0 FAQ: Migration”, which contains answers to some common questions concerning migration issues.
Installation of MySQL generally follows the steps outlined here:
Determine whether MySQL runs and is supported on your platform.
Please note that not all platforms are equally suitable for running MySQL, and that not all platforms on which MySQL is known to run are officially supported by Oracle Corporation. For information about those platforms that are officially supported, see http://www.mysql.com/support/supportedplatforms/database.html on the MySQL website.
Choose which distribution to install.
Several versions of MySQL are available, and most are available in several distribution formats. You can choose from pre-packaged distributions containing binary (precompiled) programs or source code. When in doubt, use a binary distribution. Oracle also provides access to the MySQL source code for those who want to see recent developments and test new code. To determine which version and type of distribution you should use, see Section 2.1.1, “Which MySQL Version and Distribution to Install”.
Download the distribution that you want to install.
For instructions, see Section 2.1.2, “How to Get MySQL”. To verify the integrity of the distribution, use the instructions in Section 2.1.3, “Verifying Package Integrity Using MD5 Checksums or GnuPG”.
Install the distribution.
To install MySQL from a binary distribution, use the instructions in Section 2.2, “Installing MySQL on Unix/Linux Using Generic Binaries”.
To install MySQL from a source distribution or from the current development source tree, use the instructions in Section 2.8, “Installing MySQL from Source”.
Perform any necessary postinstallation setup.
After installing MySQL, see Section 2.9, “Postinstallation Setup and Testing”
for information about making sure the MySQL server is working
properly. Also refer to the information provided in
Section 2.9.4, “Securing the Initial MySQL Account”. This section describes how
to secure the initial MySQL root
user
account, which has no password until you
assign one. The section applies whether you install MySQL using
a binary or source distribution.
If you want to run the MySQL benchmark scripts, Perl support for MySQL must be available. See Section 2.11, “Perl Installation Notes”.
Instructions for installing MySQL on different platforms and environments is available on a platform by platform basis:
Unix, Linux, FreeBSD
For instructions on installing MySQL on most Linux and Unix
platforms using a generic binary (for example, a
.tar.gz
package), see
Section 2.2, “Installing MySQL on Unix/Linux Using Generic Binaries”.
For information on building MySQL entirely from the source code distributions or the source code repositories, see Section 2.8, “Installing MySQL from Source”
For specific platform help on installation, configuration, and building from source see the corresponding platform section:
Linux, including notes on distribution specific methods, see Section 2.5, “Installing MySQL on Linux”.
IBM AIX, see Installing MySQL on Solaris.
FreeBSD, see Section 2.7, “Installing MySQL on FreeBSD”.
Microsoft Windows
For instructions on installing MySQL on Microsoft Windows, using either the MySQL Installer or Zipped binary, see Section 2.3, “Installing MySQL on Microsoft Windows”.
For information about managing MySQL instances, see Section 2.3.4, “MySQL Notifier”.
For details and instructions on building MySQL from source code using Microsoft Visual Studio, see Section 2.8, “Installing MySQL from Source”.
OS X
For installation on OS X, including using both the binary package and native PKG formats, see Section 2.4, “Installing MySQL on macOS”.
For information on making use of an OS X Launch Daemon to automatically start and stop MySQL, see Section 2.4.3, “Installing and Using the MySQL Launch Daemon”.
For information on the MySQL Preference Pane, see Section 2.4.4, “Installing and Using the MySQL Preference Pane”.
The immediately following sections contain the information necessary to choose, download, and verify your distribution. The instructions in later sections of the chapter describe how to install the distribution that you choose. For binary distributions, see the instructions at Section 2.2, “Installing MySQL on Unix/Linux Using Generic Binaries” or the corresponding section for your platform if available. To build MySQL from source, use the instructions in Section 2.8, “Installing MySQL from Source”.
MySQL is available on a number of operating systems and platforms. For information about those platforms that are officially supported, see http://www.mysql.com/support/supportedplatforms/database.html on the MySQL website.
When preparing to install MySQL, decide which version and distribution format (binary or source) to use.
First, decide whether to install a development release or a General Availability (GA) release. Development releases have the newest features, but are not recommended for production use. GA releases, also called production or stable releases, are meant for production use. We recommend using the most recent GA release.
The naming scheme in MySQL 8.0 uses release names that consist of three numbers and an optional suffix; for example, mysql-8.0.1-dmr. The numbers within the release name are interpreted as follows:
The first number (8) is the major version number.
The second number (0) is the minor version number. Taken together, the major and minor numbers constitute the release series number. The series number describes the stable feature set.
The third number (1) is the version number within the release series. This is incremented for each new bugfix release. In most cases, the most recent version within a series is the best choice.
Release names can also include a suffix to indicate the stability level of the release. Releases within a series progress through a set of suffixes to indicate how the stability level improves. The possible suffixes are:
dmr indicates a development milestone release (DMR). MySQL development uses a milestone model, in which each milestone introduces a small subset of thoroughly tested features. From one milestone to the next, feature interfaces may change or features may even be removed, based on feedback provided by community members who try these earily releases. Features within milestone releases may be considered to be of pre-production quality.
rc indicates a Release Candidate (RC). Release candidates are believed to be stable, having passed all of MySQL's internal testing. New features may still be introduced in RC releases, but the focus shifts to fixing bugs to stabilize features introduced earlier within the series.
Absence of a suffix indicates a General Availability (GA) or Production release. GA releases are stable, having successfully passed through the earlier release stages, and are believed to be reliable, free of serious bugs, and suitable for use in production systems.
Development within a series begins with DMR releases, followed by RC releases, and finally reaches GA status releases.
After choosing which MySQL version to install, decide which distribution format to install for your operating system. For most use cases, a binary distribution is the right choice. Binary distributions are available in native format for many platforms, such as RPM packages for Linux or DMG packages for OS X. Distributions are also available in more generic formats such as Zip archives or compressed tar files. On Windows, you can use the MySQL Installer to install a binary distribution.
Under some circumstances, it may be preferable to install MySQL from a source distribution:
You want to install MySQL at some explicit location. The standard binary distributions are ready to run at any installation location, but you might require even more flexibility to place MySQL components where you want.
You want to configure mysqld with features that might not be included in the standard binary distributions. Here is a list of the most common extra options used to ensure feature availability:
-DWITH_LIBWRAP=1
for TCP
wrappers support.
-DWITH_ZLIB={system|bundled}
for features that depend on compression
-DWITH_DEBUG=1
for debugging
support
For additional information, see Section 2.8.4, “MySQL Source-Configuration Options”.
You want to configure mysqld without some features that are included in the standard binary distributions.
You want to read or modify the C and C++ code that makes up MySQL. For this purpose, obtain a source distribution.
Source distributions contain more tests and examples than binary distributions.
Check our downloads page at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ for information about the current version of MySQL and for downloading instructions. For a complete up-to-date list of MySQL download mirror sites, see http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mirrors.html. You can also find information there about becoming a MySQL mirror site and how to report a bad or out-of-date mirror.
For RPM-based Linux platforms that use Yum as their package management system, MySQL can be installed using the MySQL Yum Repository. See Section 2.5.1, “Installing MySQL on Linux Using the MySQL Yum Repository” for details.
For Debian-based Linux platforms, MySQL can be installed using the MySQL APT Repository. See Section 2.5.2, “Installing MySQL on Linux Using the MySQL APT Repository” for details.
For SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) platforms, MySQL can be installed using the MySQL SLES Repository. See Section 2.5.3, “Installing MySQL on Linux Using the MySQL SLES Repository” for details.
To obtain the latest development source, see Section 2.8.3, “Installing MySQL Using a Development Source Tree”.
After downloading the MySQL package that suits your needs and before attempting to install it, make sure that it is intact and has not been tampered with. There are three means of integrity checking:
MD5 checksums
Cryptographic signatures using GnuPG
, the
GNU Privacy Guard
For RPM packages, the built-in RPM integrity verification mechanism
The following sections describe how to use these methods.
If you notice that the MD5 checksum or GPG signatures do not match, first try to download the respective package one more time, perhaps from another mirror site.
After you have downloaded a MySQL package, you should make sure that its MD5 checksum matches the one provided on the MySQL download pages. Each package has an individual checksum that you can verify against the package that you downloaded. The correct MD5 checksum is listed on the downloads page for each MySQL product, and you will compare it against the MD5 checksum of the file (product) that you download.
Each operating system and setup offers its own version of tools
for checking the MD5 checksum. Typically the command is named
md5sum, or it may be named
md5, and some operating systems do not ship
it at all. On Linux, it is part of the GNU
Text Utilities package, which is available for a wide
range of platforms. You can also download the source code from
http://www.gnu.org/software/textutils/. If you
have OpenSSL installed, you can use the command openssl
md5 package_name
instead. A
Windows implementation of the md5 command
line utility is available from
http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/.
winMd5Sum is a graphical MD5 checking tool
that can be obtained from
http://www.nullriver.com/index/products/winmd5sum.
Our Microsoft Windows examples will assume the name
md5.exe.
Linux and Microsoft Windows examples:
shell> md5sum mysql-standard-8.0.13-linux-i686.tar.gz
aaab65abbec64d5e907dcd41b8699945 mysql-standard-8.0.13-linux-i686.tar.gz
shell> md5.exe mysql-installer-community-8.0.13.msi
aaab65abbec64d5e907dcd41b8699945 mysql-installer-community-8.0.13.msi
You should verify that the resulting checksum (the string of hexadecimal digits) matches the one displayed on the download page immediately below the respective package.
Make sure to verify the checksum of the archive
file (for example, the .zip
,
.tar.gz
, or .msi
file) and not of the files that are contained inside of the
archive. In other words, verify the file before extracting its
contents.
Another method of verifying the integrity and authenticity of a package is to use cryptographic signatures. This is more reliable than using MD5 checksums, but requires more work.
We sign MySQL downloadable packages with GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard). GnuPG is an Open Source alternative to the well-known Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) by Phil Zimmermann. Most Linux distributions ship with GnuPG installed by default. Otherwise, see http://www.gnupg.org/ for more information about GnuPG and how to obtain and install it.
To verify the signature for a specific package, you first need
to obtain a copy of our public GPG build key, which you can
download from http://pgp.mit.edu/. The key that
you want to obtain is named
mysql-build@oss.oracle.com
. Alternatively,
you can copy and paste the key directly from the following text:

To import the build key into your personal public GPG keyring,
use gpg --import. For example, if you have
saved the key in a file named
mysql_pubkey.asc
, the import command looks
like this:
shell> gpg --import mysql_pubkey.asc
gpg: key 5072E1F5: public key "MySQL Release Engineering
<mysql-build@oss.oracle.com>" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: imported: 1
gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
You can also download the key from the public keyserver using
the public key id, 5072E1F5
:
shell> gpg --recv-keys 5072E1F5 gpg: requesting key 5072E1F5 from hkp server keys.gnupg.net gpg: key 5072E1F5: "MySQL Release Engineering <mysql-build@oss.oracle.com>" 1 new user ID gpg: key 5072E1F5: "MySQL Release Engineering <mysql-build@oss.oracle.com>" 53 new signatures gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: new user IDs: 1 gpg: new signatures: 53
If you want to import the key into your RPM configuration to validate RPM install packages, you should be able to import the key directly:
shell> rpm --import mysql_pubkey.asc
If you experience problems or require RPM specific information, see Section 2.1.3.4, “Signature Checking Using RPM”.
After you have downloaded and imported the public build key,
download your desired MySQL package and the corresponding
signature, which also is available from the download page. The
signature file has the same name as the distribution file with
an .asc
extension, as shown by the examples
in the following table.
Table 2.1 MySQL Package and Signature Files for Source files
File Type | File Name |
---|---|
Distribution file | mysql-standard-8.0.13-linux-i686.tar.gz |
Signature file | mysql-standard-8.0.13-linux-i686.tar.gz.asc |
Make sure that both files are stored in the same directory and then run the following command to verify the signature for the distribution file:
shell> gpg --verify package_name
.asc
If the downloaded package is valid, you will see a "Good signature" similar to:
shell> gpg --verify mysql-standard-8.0.13-linux-i686.tar.gz.asc
gpg: Signature made Tue 01 Feb 2011 02:38:30 AM CST using DSA key ID 5072E1F5
gpg: Good signature from "MySQL Release Engineering <mysql-build@oss.oracle.com>"
The Good signature
message indicates that the
file signature is valid, when compared to the signature listed
on our site. But you might also see warnings, like so:
shell> gpg --verify mysql-standard-8.0.13-linux-i686.tar.gz.asc
gpg: Signature made Wed 23 Jan 2013 02:25:45 AM PST using DSA key ID 5072E1F5
gpg: checking the trustdb
gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
gpg: Good signature from "MySQL Release Engineering <mysql-build@oss.oracle.com>"
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
Primary key fingerprint: A4A9 4068 76FC BD3C 4567 70C8 8C71 8D3B 5072 E1F5
That is normal, as they depend on your setup and configuration. Here are explanations for these warnings:
gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found: This means that the specific key is not "ultimately trusted" by you or your web of trust, which is okay for the purposes of verifying file signatures.
WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature! There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.: This refers to your level of trust in your belief that you possess our real public key. This is a personal decision. Ideally, a MySQL developer would hand you the key in person, but more commonly, you downloaded it. Was the download tampered with? Probably not, but this decision is up to you. Setting up a web of trust is one method for trusting them.
See the GPG documentation for more information on how to work with public keys.
The Section 2.1.3.2, “Signature Checking Using GnuPG” section describes
how to verify MySQL downloads using GPG. That guide also applies
to Microsoft Windows, but another option is to use a GUI tool
like Gpg4win. You
may use a different tool but our examples are based on Gpg4win,
and utilize its bundled Kleopatra
GUI.
Download and install Gpg4win, and then load Kleopatra. The dialog should look similar to:
Next, add the MySQL Release Engineering certificate. Do this by clicking
, . Type "Mysql Release Engineering" into the search box and press .Select the "MySQL Release Engineering" certificate. The Fingerprint and Key-ID must be "5072E1F5", or choose Imported Certificates tab.
to confirm the certificate is valid. Now, import it by clicking . An import dialog will be displayed, choose , and this certificate will now be listed under theNext, configure the trust level for our certificate. Select our certificate, then from the main menu select I believe checks are very accurate for our certificate, as otherwise you might not be able to verify our signature. Select I believe checks are very accurate to enable "full trust" and then press .
, . We suggest choosing
Next, verify the downloaded MySQL package file. This requires
files for both the packaged file, and the signature. The
signature file must have the same name as the packaged file but
with an appended .asc
extension, as shown
by the example in the following table. The signature is linked
to on the downloads page for each MySQL product. You must create
the .asc
file with this signature.
Table 2.2 MySQL Package and Signature Files for MySQL Installer for Microsoft Windows
File Type | File Name |
---|---|
Distribution file | mysql-installer-community-8.0.13.msi |
Signature file | mysql-installer-community-8.0.13.msi.asc |
Make sure that both files are stored in the same directory and
then run the following command to verify the signature for the
distribution file. Either drag and drop the signature
(.asc
) file into Kleopatra, or load the
dialog from , , and then choose either the
.msi
or .asc
file.
Click
to check the file. The two most common results will look like the following, and although the yellow warning looks problematic, the following means that the file check passed with success. You may now run this installer.Seeing a red "The signature is bad" error means the file is invalid. Do not execute the MSI file if you see this error.
The Section 2.1.3.2, “Signature Checking Using GnuPG” section explains
why you probably don't see a green Good
signature
result.
For RPM packages, there is no separate signature. RPM packages have a built-in GPG signature and MD5 checksum. You can verify a package by running the following command:
shell> rpm --checksig package_name
.rpm
Example:
shell> rpm --checksig MySQL-server-8.0.13-0.linux_glibc2.5.i386.rpm
MySQL-server-8.0.13-0.linux_glibc2.5.i386.rpm: md5 gpg OK
If you are using RPM 4.1 and it complains about (GPG)
NOT OK (MISSING KEYS: GPG#5072e1f5)
, even though you
have imported the MySQL public build key into your own GPG
keyring, you need to import the key into the RPM keyring
first. RPM 4.1 no longer uses your personal GPG keyring (or
GPG itself). Rather, RPM maintains a separate keyring because
it is a system-wide application and a user's GPG public
keyring is a user-specific file. To import the MySQL public
key into the RPM keyring, first obtain the key, then use
rpm --import to import the key. For
example:
shell> gpg --export -a 5072e1f5 > 5072e1f5.asc shell> rpm --import 5072e1f5.asc
Alternatively, rpm also supports loading the key directly from a URL, and you can use this manual page:
shell> rpm --import http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/checking-gpg-signature.html
If you need to obtain the MySQL public key, see Section 2.1.3.2, “Signature Checking Using GnuPG”.
The installation layout differs for different installation types (for example, native packages, binary tarballs, and source tarballs), which can lead to confusion when managing different systems or using different installation sources. The individual layouts are given in the corresponding installation type or platform chapter, as described following. Note that the layout of installations from vendors other than Oracle may differ from these layouts.
In some cases, the compiler used to build MySQL affects the features available for use. The notes in this section apply for binary distributions provided by Oracle Corporation or that you compile yourself from source.
icc (Intel C++ Compiler) Builds
A server built with icc has these characteristics:
SSL support is not included.
Oracle provides a set of binary distributions of MySQL. These
include generic binary distributions in the form of compressed
tar files (files with a
.tar.gz
extension) for a number of platforms,
and binaries in platform-specific package formats for selected
platforms.
This section covers the installation of MySQL from a compressed tar file binary distribution on Unix/Linux platforms. For other platform-specific binary package formats, see the other platform-specific sections in this manual. For example, for Windows distributions, see Section 2.3, “Installing MySQL on Microsoft Windows”. See Section 2.1.2, “How to Get MySQL” on how to obtain MySQL in different distribution formats.
MySQL compressed tar file binary distributions
have names of the form
mysql-
,
where VERSION
-OS
.tar.gz
is a
number (for example, VERSION
8.0.13
), and
OS
indicates the type of operating system
for which the distribution is intended (for example,
pc-linux-i686
or winx64
).
If you have previously installed MySQL using your operating
system native package management system, such as Yum or APT,
you may experience problems installing using a native binary.
Make sure your previous MySQL installation has been removed
entirely (using your package management system), and that any
additional files, such as old versions of your data files,
have also been removed. You should also check for
configuration files such as /etc/my.cnf
or the /etc/mysql
directory and delete
them.
For information about replacing third-party packages with official MySQL packages, see the related APT guide or Yum guide.
MySQL has a dependency on the libaio
library. Data directory initialization and subsequent server
startup steps will fail if this library is not installed
locally. If necessary, install it using the appropriate
package manager. For example, on Yum-based systems:
shell>yum search libaio
# search for info shell>yum install libaio
# install library
Or, on APT-based systems:
shell>apt-cache search libaio
# search for info shell>apt-get install libaio1
# install library
To install a compressed tar file binary
distribution, unpack it at the installation location you choose
(typically /usr/local/mysql
). This creates the
directories shown in the following table.

Debug versions of the mysqld binary are available as mysqld-debug. To compile your own debug version of MySQL from a source distribution, use the appropriate configuration options to enable debugging support. See Section 2.8, “Installing MySQL from Source”.
To install and use a MySQL binary distribution, the command sequence looks like this:
shell>groupadd mysql
shell>useradd -r -g mysql -s /bin/false mysql
shell>cd /usr/local
shell>tar zxvf
shell>/path/to/mysql-VERSION-OS
.tar.gzln -s
shell>full-path-to-mysql-VERSION-OS
mysqlcd mysql
shell>mkdir mysql-files
shell>chown mysql:mysql mysql-files
shell>chmod 750 mysql-files
shell>bin/mysqld --initialize --user=mysql
shell>bin/mysql_ssl_rsa_setup
shell>bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &
# Next command is optional shell>cp support-files/mysql.server /etc/init.d/mysql.server
This procedure assumes that you have root
(administrator) access to your system. Alternatively, you can
prefix each command using the sudo (Linux) or
pfexec (Solaris) command.
The mysql-files
directory provides a convenient
location to use as the value for the
secure_file_priv
system variable, which limits
import and export operations to a specific directory. See
Section 5.1.7, “Server System Variables”.
A more detailed version of the preceding description for installing a binary distribution follows.
If your system does not already have a user and group to use for
running mysqld, you may need to create them. The
following commands add the mysql
group and the
mysql
user. You might want to call the user and
group something else instead of mysql
. If so,
substitute the appropriate name in the following instructions. The
syntax for useradd and
groupadd may differ slightly on different
versions of Unix/Linux, or they may have different names such as
adduser and addgroup.
shell>groupadd mysql
shell>useradd -r -g mysql -s /bin/false mysql
Because the user is required only for ownership purposes, not
login purposes, the useradd command uses the
-r
and -s /bin/false
options to
create a user that does not have login permissions to your server
host. Omit these options if your useradd does
not support them.
Pick the directory under which you want to unpack the distribution
and change location into it. The example here unpacks the
distribution under /usr/local
. The
instructions, therefore, assume that you have permission to create
files and directories in /usr/local
. If that
directory is protected, you must perform the installation as
root
.
shell> cd /usr/local
Obtain a distribution file using the instructions in Section 2.1.2, “How to Get MySQL”. For a given release, binary distributions for all platforms are built from the same MySQL source distribution.
Unpack the distribution, which creates the installation directory.
tar can uncompress and unpack the distribution if
it has z
option support:
shell> tar zxvf /path/to/mysql-VERSION-OS
.tar.gz
The tar command creates a directory named
mysql-
.
VERSION
-OS
To install MySQL from a compressed tar file
binary distribution, your system must have GNU
gunzip
to uncompress the distribution and a
reasonable tar to unpack it. If your
tar program supports the z
option, it can both uncompress and unpack the file.
GNU tar is known to work. The standard
tar provided with some operating systems is not
able to unpack the long file names in the MySQL distribution. You
should download and install GNU tar, or if
available, use a preinstalled version of GNU tar. Usually this is
available as gnutar, gtar, or
as tar within a GNU or Free Software directory,
such as /usr/sfw/bin
or
/usr/local/bin
. GNU tar is
available from http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/.
If your tar does not have z
option support, use gunzip to unpack the
distribution and tar to unpack it. Replace the
preceding tar command with the following
alternative command to uncompress and extract the distribution:
shell> gunzip < /path/to/mysql-VERSION-OS
.tar.gz | tar xvf -
Next, create a symbolic link to the installation directory created by tar:
shell> ln -s full-path-to-mysql-VERSION-OS
mysql
The ln
command makes a symbolic link to the
installation directory. This enables you to refer more easily to it
as /usr/local/mysql
. To avoid having to type
the path name of client programs always when you are working with
MySQL, you can add the /usr/local/mysql/bin
directory to your PATH
variable:
shell> export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin
The remainder of the installation process involves setting distribution ownership and access permissions, initializing the data directory, starting the MySQL server, and setting up the configuration file. For instructions, see Section 2.9, “Postinstallation Setup and Testing”.
noinstall
ZIP ArchiveMySQL 8.0 Server requires the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Package to run on Windows platforms. Users should make sure the package has been installed on the system before installing the server. The package is available at the Microsoft Download Center. Additionally, MySQL debug binaries require Visual Studio 2015 to be installed.
MySQL is available for Microsoft Windows, for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. For supported Windows platform information, see http://www.mysql.com/support/supportedplatforms/database.html.
There are different methods to install MySQL on Microsoft Windows.
The simplest and recommended method is to download MySQL Installer (for Windows) and let it install and configure all of the MySQL products on your system. Here is how:
Download MySQL Installer from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/ and execute it.
Unlike the standard MySQL Installer, the smaller "web-community" version does not bundle any MySQL applications but it will download the MySQL products you choose to install.
Choose the appropriate Setup Type for your system. Typically you will choose Developer Default to install MySQL server and other MySQL tools related to MySQL development, helpful tools like MySQL Workbench. Or, choose the Custom setup type to manually select your desired MySQL products.
Multiple versions of MySQL server can exist on a single system. You can choose one or multiple versions.
Complete the installation process by following the instructions. This will install several MySQL products and start the MySQL server.
MySQL is now installed. If you configured MySQL as a service, then Windows will automatically start MySQL server every time you restart your system.
You probably also installed other helpful MySQL products like MySQL Workbench and MySQL Notifier on your system. Consider loading Chapter 30, MySQL Workbench to check your new MySQL server connection, and Section 2.3.4, “MySQL Notifier” to view the connection's status. By default, these two programs automatically start after installing MySQL.
This process also installs the MySQL Installer application on your system, and later you can use MySQL Installer to upgrade or reconfigure your MySQL products.
It is possible to run MySQL as a standard application or as a Windows service. By using a service, you can monitor and control the operation of the server through the standard Windows service management tools. For more information, see Section 2.3.5.8, “Starting MySQL as a Windows Service”.
Generally, you should install MySQL on Windows using an account that
has administrator rights. Otherwise, you may encounter problems with
certain operations such as editing the PATH
environment variable or accessing the Service Control
Manager. When installed, MySQL does not need to be
executed using a user with Administrator privileges.
For a list of limitations on the use of MySQL on the Windows platform, see Section C.10.5, “Windows Platform Limitations”.
In addition to the MySQL Server package, you may need or want additional components to use MySQL with your application or development environment. These include, but are not limited to:
To connect to the MySQL server using ODBC, you must have a Connector/ODBC driver. For more information, including installation and configuration instructions, see MySQL Connector/ODBC Developer Guide.
MySQL Installer will install and configure Connector/ODBC for you.
To use MySQL server with .NET applications, you must have the Connector/Net driver. For more information, including installation and configuration instructions, see MySQL Connector/Net Developer Guide.
MySQL Installer will install and configure MySQL Connector/Net for you.
MySQL distributions for Windows can be downloaded from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/. See Section 2.1.2, “How to Get MySQL”.
MySQL for Windows is available in several distribution formats, detailed here. Generally speaking, you should use MySQL Installer. It contains more features and MySQL products than the older MSI, is simpler to use than the compressed file, and you need no additional tools to get MySQL up and running. MySQL Installer automatically installs MySQL Server and additional MySQL products, creates an options file, starts the server, and enables you to create default user accounts. For more information on choosing a package, see Section 2.3.2, “Choosing an Installation Package”.
A MySQL Installer distribution includes MySQL Server and additional MySQL products including MySQL Workbench, MySQL Notifier, and MySQL for Excel. MySQL Installer can also be used to upgrade these products in the future.
For instructions on installing MySQL using MySQL Installer, see Section 2.3.3, “MySQL Installer for Windows”.
The standard binary distribution (packaged as a compressed file) contains all of the necessary files that you unpack into your chosen location. This package contains all of the files in the full Windows MSI Installer package, but does not include an installation program.
For instructions on installing MySQL using the compressed file,
see Section 2.3.5, “Installing MySQL on Microsoft Windows Using a
noinstall
ZIP Archive”.
The source distribution format contains all the code and support files for building the executables using the Visual Studio compiler system.
For instructions on building MySQL from source on Windows, see Section 2.8, “Installing MySQL from Source”.
Large Table Support
If you need tables with a size larger than 4GB, install MySQL on
an NTFS or newer file system. Do not forget to use
MAX_ROWS
and
AVG_ROW_LENGTH
when you create tables. See
Section 13.1.18, “CREATE TABLE Syntax”.
MySQL and Virus Checking Software
Virus-scanning software such as Norton/Symantec Anti-Virus on directories containing MySQL data and temporary tables can cause issues, both in terms of the performance of MySQL and the virus-scanning software misidentifying the contents of the files as containing spam. This is due to the fingerprinting mechanism used by the virus-scanning software, and the way in which MySQL rapidly updates different files, which may be identified as a potential security risk.
After installing MySQL Server, it is recommended that you
disable virus scanning on the main directory
(datadir
) used to store your
MySQL table data. There is usually a system built into the
virus-scanning software to enable specific directories to be
ignored.
In addition, by default, MySQL creates temporary files in the
standard Windows temporary directory. To prevent the temporary
files also being scanned, configure a separate temporary
directory for MySQL temporary files and add this directory to
the virus scanning exclusion list. To do this, add a
configuration option for the
tmpdir
parameter to your
my.ini
configuration file. For more
information, see Section 2.3.5.2, “Creating an Option File”.
For MySQL 8.0 on Windows, the default installation
directory is C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server
8.0
for installations performed with MySQL Installer.
If you use the ZIP archive method to install MySQL, you may prefer
to install in C:\mysql
. However, the layout
of the subdirectories remains the same.
All of the files are located within this parent directory, using the structure shown in the following table.

For MySQL 8.0, there are multiple installation package formats to choose from when installing MySQL on Windows.
Program Database (PDB) files (with file name extension
pdb
) provide information for debugging your
MySQL installation in the event of a problem. These files are
included in ZIP Archive distributions (but not MSI
distributions) of MySQL.
MySQL Installer: This package has a file
name similar to
mysql-installer-community-8.0.13.0.msi
or
mysql-installer-commercial-8.0.13.0.msi
,
and utilizes MSIs to automatically install MySQL server and
other products. It will download and apply updates to itself,
and for each of the installed products. It also configures the
installed MySQL server (including InnoDB Cluster Sandbox test
setups) and MySQL Router.
MySQL Installer can install and manage (add, modify, upgrade, and remove) many other MySQL products, including:
Applications – MySQL Workbench, MySQL for Visual Studio, MySQL Notifier, MySQL for Excel, MySQL Utilities, MySQL Shell, MySQL Router
Connectors – MySQL Connector/C, MySQL Connector/C++, MySQL Connector/Net, Connector/ODBC, MySQL Connector/Python, MySQL Connector/J, MySQL Connector/Node.js
Documentation – MySQL Manual (PDF format), samples and examples
MySQL Installer does not include debugging binaries/information
components (including PDB files). These are available in a
separate ZIP archive named
mysql-
for 64-bit and
VERSION
-winx64-debug-test.zipmysql-
for 32-bit.
VERSION
-win32-debug-test.zip
MySQL Installer operates on all MySQL supported versions of Windows (see http://www.mysql.com/support/supportedplatforms/database.html).
Because MySQL Installer is not a native component of Microsoft Windows and depends on .NET, it will not work on minimal installation options like the "Server Core" version of Windows Server 2008.
For instructions on installing MySQL using MySQL Installer, see Section 2.3.3, “MySQL Installer for Windows”.
The noinstall
ZIP
Archives: These packages contain the files found in
the complete installation package, with the exception of the
GUI. This format does not include an automated installer, and
must be manually installed and configured.
The noinstall
ZIP archives are split into
two separate compressed files. The main package is named
mysql-
for 64-bit and
VERSION
-winx64.zipmysql-
for 32-bit. This contains the components needed to use MySQL
on your system. The optional MySQL test suite, MySQL
benchmark suite, and debugging binaries/information
components (including PDB files) are in a separate
compressed file named
VERSION
-win32.zipmysql-
for 64-bit and
VERSION
-winx64-debug-test.zipmysql-
for 32-bit.

-win32-debug-test.zip
MySQL Installer is recommended for most users.
Your choice of install package affects the installation process
you must follow. If you choose to use MySQL Installer, see
Section 2.3.3, “MySQL Installer for Windows”. If you choose to install a
noinstall
ZIP archive, see
Section 2.3.5, “Installing MySQL on Microsoft Windows Using a
noinstall
ZIP Archive”.
MySQL Installer is a standalone application designed to ease the complexity of installing and managing MySQL products that run on Microsoft Windows. It supports the following MySQL products:
MySQL Servers
MySQL Installer can install and manage multiple, separate MySQL server instances on the same host at the same time. For example, MySQL Installer can install, configure, and upgrade a separate instance of MySQL 5.6, MySQL 5.7, and MySQL 8.0 on the same host. MySQL Installer does not permit server upgrades between major and minor version numbers, but does permit upgrades within a release series (such as 5.7.18 to 5.7.19).
A host cannot have both community and commercial editions of MySQL server installed.
MySQL Applications
MySQL Workbench, MySQL Shell, MySQL Router, MySQL for Visual Studio, MySQL for Excel, MySQL Notifier, and MySQL Utilities.
MySQL Connectors
MySQL Connector/Net, MySQL Connector/Python, MySQL Connector/Node.js MySQL Connector/ODBC, MySQL Connector/J, MySQL Connector/C, and MySQL Connector/C++.
Documentation and Samples
MySQL Reference Manuals (by version) in PDF format and MySQL database samples (by version).
MySQL Installer requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 or later. If this version is not installed on the host computer, you can download it by visiting the Microsoft web site.
Download this edition from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/ to install the community version of all MySQL products for Windows. Select one of the following MySQL Installer package options:
Web: Contains MySQL Installer and configuration files
only. The web package downloads only the MySQL products you
select to install, but it requires an internet connection for
each download. The size of this file is approximately 2 MB; the
name of the file has the form
mysql-installer-community-
where web
-VERSION
.N
.msiVERSION
is the MySQL server version
number such as 8.0 and
N
is the package number, which begins at 0.
Full: Bundles all of the MySQL products for
Windows (including the MySQL server). The file size is over 300
MB, and its name has the form
mysql-installer-community-
where VERSION
.N
.msiVERSION
is the MySQL Server version
number such as 8.0 and
N
is the package number, which begins at 0.
Download this edition from https://edelivery.oracle.com/ to install the commercial edition of all MySQL products for Windows. The Commercial Edition includes all of the products in the Community Edition and also includes the following products:
Workbench SE/EE
MySQL Enterprise Backup
MySQL Enterprise Firewall
This edition integrates with your My Oracle Support (MOS) account. For knowledge-base content and patches, see My Oracle Support.
When you download MySQL Installer for the first time, a setup wizard guides you through the initial installation of MySQL products. As the following figure shows, the initial setup is a one-time activity in the overall process. MySQL Installer detects existing MySQL products installed on the host during its initial setup and adds them to the list of products to be managed.
MySQL Installer extracts configuration files (described later) to the hard drive of the host during the initial setup. Although MySQL Installer is a 32-bit application, it can install both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries.
The initial setup adds a link to the Start menu under the
group. Click , , , to open MySQL Installer.MySQL Installer requires you to accept the license agreement before it will install new MySQL packages. After you accept the terms of the agreement, you can add, update, reconfigure, and remove all of the products and features provided by the MySQL Installer edition you downloaded.
For the commercial edition, entering your My Oracle Support (MOS) credentials is optional when installing bundled MySQL products, but your credentials are required when choosing unbundled MySQL products that MySQL Installer must download. An unbundled product is any MSI file that you download using MySQL Installer after the initial setup. Your credentials must match the user name and password that you have registered with Oracle for access to the support site.
During the initial setup, you are prompted to select the MySQL products to be installed on the host. One alternative is to use a predetermined setup type that matches your setup requirements. By default, both GA and pre-release products are included in the download and installation with the Developer Default, Client only, and Full setup types. Select the Only install GA products option to restrict the product set to include GA products only when using these setup types.
Choosing one of the following setup types determines the initial installation only and does not limit your ability to install or update MySQL products for Windows later:
Developer Default: Install the following products that compliment application development with MySQL:
MySQL Server (Installs the version that you selected when you downloaded MySQL Installer.)
MySQL Connectors (.NET / Python / ODBC / Java / C / C++)
MySQL Documentation
MySQL Samples and Examples
Server only: Only install the MySQL server. This setup type installs the general availability (GA) or development release server that you selected when you downloaded MySQL Installer. It uses the default installation and data paths.
Client only: Only install
the most recent MySQL applications and MySQL connectors.
This setup type is similar to the Developer
Default
type, except that it does not include
MySQL server or the client programs typically bundled with
the server, such as mysql or
mysqladmin.
Full: Install all available MySQL products.
Custom The custom setup type enables you to filter and select individual MySQL products from the MySQL Installer catalog.
Use the Custom
setup type to install:
A product or product version that is not available from the usual download locations. The catalog contains all product releases, including the other releases between pre-release (or development) and GA.
An instance of MySQL server using an alternative installation path, data path, or both. For instructions on how to adjust the paths, see Section 2.3.3.2.3, “Setting Alternative Server Paths with MySQL Installer”.
Two or more MySQL server versions on the same host at the same time (for example, 5.6, 5.7, and 8.0).
A specific combination of products and features not offered as a predetermine setup type. For example, you can install a single product, such as MySQL Workbench, instead of installing all client applications for Windows.
When the default installation or data folder (required by MySQL server) for a product to be installed already exists on the host, the wizard displays the Path Conflict step to identify each conflict and enable you to take action to avoid having files in the existing folder overwritten by the new installation. You see this step in the initial setup only when MySQL Installer detects a conflict.
To resolve the path conflict, do one of the following:
Select a product from the list to display the conflict options. A warning symbol indicates which path is in conflict. Use the browse button to choose a new path and then click
.
Click Custom
setup type enables you to select
individual product versions.
Click
to ignore the conflict and overwrite files in the existing folder.Delete the existing product. Click
to stop the initial setup and close MySQL Installer. Open MySQL Installer again from the Start menu and delete the installed product from the host using the Delete operation from the dashboard.
MySQL Installer uses entries in the package-rules.xml
file to determine whether the prerequisite software for each
product is installed on the host. When the requirements check
fails, MySQL Installer displays the Check Requirements
step to help you update the host. The following figure
identifies and describes the key areas of this step.
Shows the current step in the initial setup. Steps in this list may change slightly depending on the products already installed on the host, the availability of prerequisite software, and the products to be installed on the host.
Lists all pending installation requirements by product and indicates the status as follows:
A blank space in the Status column means that MySQL Installer can attempt to download and install the required software for you.
The word Manual in the Status column means that you must satisfy the requirement manually. Select each product in the list to see its requirement details.
Describes the requirement in detail to assist you with each manual resolution. When possible, a download URL is provided. After you download and install the required software, click
to verify that the requirement has been met.Provides the following set operations to proceed:
– Return to the previous step. This action enables you to select a different the setup type.
– Have MySQL Installer attempt to download and install the required software for all items without a manual status. Manual requirements are resolved by you and verified by clicking .
– Do not execute the request to apply the requirements automatically and proceed to the installation without including the products that fail the check requirements step.
All MySQL Installer files are located within the C:\Program Files
(x86)
and C:\ProgramData
folders. The following table describes the files and folders
that define MySQL Installer as a standalone application.
Installed MySQL products are neither altered nor removed when you update or uninstall MySQL Installer.

MySQL Installer provides a wizard-like tool to install and configure new MySQL products for Windows. Unlike the initial setup, which runs only once, MySQL Installer invokes the wizard each time you download or install a new product. For first-time installations, the steps of the initial setup proceed directly into the steps of the installation.
Full permissions are granted to the user executing MySQL Installer to all
generated files, such as my.ini
. This does
not apply to files and directories for specific products, such
as the MySQL server data directory in
%ProgramData%
that is owned by
SYSTEM
.
Products installed and configured on a host follow a general pattern that might require your input during the various steps. MySQL Installer loads all selected products together using the following workflow:
Product download. If you installed the full (not web) MySQL Installer
package, all MSI files were loaded to the Product
Cache
folder during the initial setup and are not
downloaded again. Otherwise, the status of each product
changes from Downloading
to
Downloaded
.
Product installation. The status of each product in the list
changes from Ready to Install
to
Installing
to Complete
.
During the process, click Show Details to
view the installation actions.
If you cancel the installation at this point, the products are installed, but the server (if installed) is not yet configured. To restart the server configuration, open MySQL Installer from the Start menu and click the Reconfigure link next to the appropriate server in the dashboard.
Product configuration. This step applies to MySQL server and
samples in most cases. The status for each item in the list
should indicate, Ready to Configure
. Click
to begin the step-by-step
configuration of all items in the list.
The configuration options presented during this step depend on which version of the database you selected to install. After the installation completes, you can reconfigure MySQL server from the MySQL Installer dashboard.
Installation compete. This step finalizes the installation and enables you to start some applications when the installation finishes.
You have two options to implement a high-availability solution when you install MySQL 5.7.17 or higher (64-bit) using MySQL Installer:
Standalone MySQL Server / Classic MySQL Replication (default)
Select this option to begin the initial configuration of a standalone MySQL server. You can configure multiple servers with classic MySQL Replication manually or use MySQL Shell 1.0.9 or higher to configure a production InnoDB cluster.
Existing instance ports (3310 to 3390) set for a sandbox InnoDB cluster that was created manually using MySQL Shell, will be deleted by MySQL Installer if you later run the sandbox InnoDB cluster test setup.
For a description of the server configuration options that apply to a standalone MySQL server on Windows, see Section 2.3.3.2.2, “Server Configuration with MySQL Installer”.
Sandbox InnoDB Cluster Test Setup (for testing only)
Select this option to create and configure sandbox InnoDB cluster instances locally for testing. You can configure a sandbox InnoDB cluster to have three, five, seven, or nine MySQL server instances. Use the Reconfigure quick action in the MySQL Installer toolbar to adjust the number of instances in the InnoDB cluster after the configuration has finished.
As the following figure shows, this step requires that you enter a password for the MySQL root account. The password strength is evaluated when you retype it.
The sandbox InnoDB cluster, named
sandboxCluster
by default, is available on
selected ports. After the configuration executes, click the
Summary tab to view the specific ports that
apply to your cluster. Sandbox InnoDB cluster configuration
entries are stored in the
installer_config.xml
file.
You can use MySQL Installer to install MySQL Shell 1.0.9 or later, if it is not installed. MySQL Shell enables you to manage the sandbox instances. To connect with the MySQL Shell on port 3310, execute the following command:
shell> mysqlsh root@localhost:3310
MySQL Installer also provides a wizard for configuring MySQL Router to connect to the test InnoDB cluster that was created in this step. For configuration details, see MySQL Router Configuration. To learn more about MySQL Router operations, see Routing for MySQL InnoDB cluster.
MySQL Installer handles the initial configuration of the MySQL server. For example:
It creates the configuration file
(my.ini
) that is used to configure the
MySQL server. The values written to this file are influenced
by choices you make during the installation process. Some
definitions are host dependent. For example, query_cache is
enabled if the host has fewer than three cores.
Query cache was deprecated in MySQL 5.7 and removed in MySQL 8.0 (and later).
By default, a Windows service for the MySQL server is added.
Provides default installation and data paths for MySQL server. For instructions on how to change the default paths, see Section 2.3.3.2.3, “Setting Alternative Server Paths with MySQL Installer”.
It can optionally create MySQL server user accounts with
configurable permissions based on general roles, such as DB
Administrator, DB Designer, and Backup Admin. It optionally
creates a Windows user named MysqlSys
with limited privileges, which would then run the MySQL
Server.
User accounts may also be added and configured in MySQL Workbench.
Checking Show Advanced Options allows additional Logging Options to be set. This includes defining custom file paths for the error log, general log, slow query log (including the configuration of seconds it requires to execute a query), and the binary log.
During the configuration process, click
to proceed to the next step or to return to the previous step. Click at the final step to apply the server configuration.The sections that follow describe the server configuration options that apply to MySQL server on Windows. The server version you installed will determine which steps and options you can configure. Configuring MySQL server may include some or all of the following steps:
Server Configuration Type
Choose the MySQL server configuration type that describes your setup. This setting defines the amount of system resources (memory) that will be assigned to your MySQL server instance.
Development: A machine that will host many other applications, and typically this is your personal workstation. This option configures MySQL to use the least amount of memory.
Server: Several other applications will be running on this machine, such as a web server. This option configures MySQL to use a medium amount of memory.
Dedicated: A machine that is dedicated to running the MySQL server. Because no other major applications will run on this server, such as a web server, this option configures MySQL to use the majority of available memory.
Connectivity
Connectivity options control how the connection to MySQL is made. Options include:
TCP/IP: You may enable TCP/IP Networking here as otherwise only local host connections are allowed. Also define the Port Number and whether to open the firewall port for network access. If the port number is in use already, you will see the information icon () next to the default value and is disabled until you provide a new port number.
Named Pipe: Enable and define the
pipe name, similar to using the
--enable-named-pipe
option.
Shared Memory: Enable and then
define the memory name, similar to using the
--shared-memory
option.
Advanced Configuration
Check Show Advanced Options to set additional logging options in a later step. This includes defining custom file paths for the error log, general log, slow query log (including the configuration of seconds it requires to execute a query), and the binary log.
MySQL Enterprise Firewall (Commercial Edition only)
The Enable Enterprise Firewall check box is selected by default. For post-installation instructions, see Section 6.5.6, “MySQL Enterprise Firewall”.
The Authentication Method step is visible only during the installation or upgrade of MySQL 8.0.4 or higher. It introduces a choice between two server-side authentication options. The MySQL user accounts that you create in the next step will use the authentication method that you select in this step.
MySQL 8.0 connectors and community drivers that use
libmysqlclient
8.0 now support the
mysql_native_password
default
authentication plugin. However, if you are unable to update
your clients and applications to support this new
authentication method, you can configure the MySQL server to
use mysql_native_password
for legacy
authentication. For more information about the implications of
this change, see
caching_sha2_password as the Preferred Authentication Plugin.
If you are installing or upgrading to MySQL 8.0.4 or higher, select one of the following authentication methods:
Use Strong Password Encryption for Authentication (RECOMMENDED)
MySQL 8.0 supports a new authentication based on improved, stronger SHA256-based password methods. It is recommended that all new MySQL server installations use this method going forward.
The caching_sha2_password
authentication plugin on the server requires new
versions of connectors and clients, which add support
for the new MySQL 8.0 default authentication.
Use Legacy Authentication Method (Retain MySQL 5.x Compatibility)
Using the old MySQL 5.x legacy authentication method should be considered only in the following cases:
Applications cannot be updated to use MySQL 8.0 connectors and drivers.
Recompilation of an existing application is not feasible.
An updated, language-specific connector or driver is not available yet.
Root Account Password
Assigning a root password is required and you will be asked for it when performing other MySQL Installer operations. Password strength is evaluated when you repeat the password in the box provided. For descriptive information regarding password requirements or status, move your mouse pointer over the information icon () when it appears.
MySQL User Accounts
Optionally, you can create additional MySQL user accounts with predefined user roles. Each predefined role, such as DB Admin, are configured with their own set of privileges. For example, the DB Admin role has more privileges than the DB Designer role. Click the Role drop-down list for a description of each role.
If the MySQL server is installed, then you must also enter the current root password.
On the Windows platform, MySQL server can run as a named service managed by the operating system and be configured to start up automatically when Windows starts. Alternatively, you can configure MySQL server to run as an executable program that requires manual configuration.
Configure MySQL server as a Windows service (Selected by default.)
When the default configuration option is selected, you can also select the following:
Start the MySQL Server at System Startup
When selected (default), the service startup type is set to Automatic; otherwise, the startup type is set to Manual.
Run Windows Service as
When Standard System Account is selected (default), the service logs on as Network Service.
The Custom User option must have privileges to log on to Microsoft Windows as a service. The button will be disabled until this user is configured with the required privileges.
A custom user is configured in Windows by searching for "local security policy" in the Start menu. In the Local Security Policy window, select Local Policies, User Rights Assignment, and then Log On As A Service to open the property dialog. Click to add the custom user and then click in each dialog to save the changes.
Deselect the Windows Service option
The Plugins and Extensions step is visible during a new installation of MySQL 5.7.12 (or higher) only. If you are upgrading from a previous MySQL version, then you need to open MySQL Installer again and select the Reconfigure MySQL server option.
Enable X Protocol / MySQL as a Document Store (Selected by default.)
When the X Protocol option is selected, MySQL Installer loads and starts the X Plugin. Without the X Plugin running, X Protocol clients cannot connect to the server.
Port Number:
33060
Requires an unused port. The default port number is 33060.
Open Firewall port for network access
Open by default when the X Protocol is selected.
For more information about using MySQL as a document store and the X Plugin, see Section 20.1, “Key Concepts” and Section 20.6, “X Plugin”.
This step is available if the Show Advanced Configuration check box was selected during the Type and Networking step. To enable this step now, click to return to the Type and Networking step and select the check box.
Advanced configuration options are related to the following MySQL log files:
All configuration settings are applied to the MySQL server when you click Configuration Steps tab to follow the progress of each action; the icon for each toggles from white to green (with a check mark) on success. Otherwise, the process stops and displays an error message if an individual action times out. Click the Log tab to view the log.

, to install the latest GA version
of the tools. Use the Custom
setup type to
install an individual tool or specific version. If MySQL Installer is
installed on the host already, use the Add
operation to select and install tools from the MySQL Installer dashboard.
MySQL Installer provides a configuration wizard that can bootstrap an installed instance of MySQL Router 2.1.3 or later to route traffic between MySQL applications and an InnoDB cluster. When configured, MySQL Router runs as a local Windows service. For detailed information about using MySQL Router with an InnoDB cluster, see Routing for MySQL InnoDB cluster.
To configure MySQL Router, do the following:
Set up InnoDB cluster. For instructions on how to configure a sandbox InnoDB cluster on the local host using MySQL Installer, see Section 2.3.3.2.1, “Group Replication”. InnoDB cluster requires MySQL Server 5.7.17 or higher.
For general InnoDB cluster information, see Chapter 21, InnoDB Cluster.
Using MySQL Installer, download and install the MySQL Router application. After the installation finishes, the configuration wizard prompts you for information. Select the Configure MySQL Router for InnoDB cluster check box to begin the configuration and provide the following configuration values:
Hostname: localhost by default.
Port: The port number of the primary server in the InnoDB cluster. The default is 3310.
Management User: An administrative user with root-level privileges.
Password: The password for the management user.
Classic MySQL protocol connections to InnoDB cluster
Read/Write: Set the first base port number to one that is unused (between 80 and 65532) and the wizard will select the remaining ports for you.
The figure that follows shows an example of the MySQL Router configuration screen, with the first base port number specified as 6446 and the remaining ports set by the wizard as 6447, 6448, and 6449.
Click
and then to apply the configuration. Click to close MySQL Installer or return to the MySQL Installer dashboard.This section describes the MySQL Installer product catalog and the dashboard.
The product catalog stores the complete list of released MySQL products for Microsoft Windows that are available to download from MySQL Downloads. By default, and when an Internet connection is present, MySQL Installer updates the catalog daily. You can also update the catalog manually from the dashboard (described later).
An up-to-date catalog performs the following actions:
Populates the Available Products pane of the Select Products and Features step. This step appears when you select:
The Custom
setup type during the
initial
setup.
The Add operation from the dashboard.
Identifies when product updates are available for the installed products listed in the dashboard.
The catalog includes all development releases (Pre-Release), general releases (Current GA), and minor releases (Other Releases). Products in the catalog will vary somewhat, depending on the MySQL Installer edition that you download.
The MySQL Installer dashboard is the default screen that you see when you start MySQL Installer after the initial setup finishes. If you closed MySQL Installer before the setup was finished, MySQL Installer resumes the initial setup before it displays the dashboard.
The MySQL Installer-About icon () shows the current version of MySQL Installer and general information about MySQL. The version number is located above the
button.Always include this version number when reporting a problem with MySQL Installer.
The MySQL Installer Options icon () enables you to schedule daily automatic catalog updates. By default, catalog updates are scheduled at the hour when MySQL Installer was first installed. When new products or product versions are available, MySQL Installer adds them to the catalog and then displays an arrow icon () next to the version number of installed products listed in the dashboard.
Use this option to enable or disable automatic catalog
updates and to reset the time of day when the MySQL Installer updates
the catalog automatically. For specific settings, see the
task named ManifestUpdate
in the Windows
Task Scheduler.
MySQL Installer dashboard operations provide a variety of actions that apply to installed products or products listed in the catalog. To initiate the following operations, first click the operation link and then select the product or products to manage:
Add: This operation opens the Select Products and Features screen. From there, you can filter the product in the product catalog, select one or more products to download (as needed), and begin the installation. For hints about using the filter, see Locating Products to Install.
Modify: Use this operation to add
or remove the features associated with installed
products. Features that you can modify vary in
complexity by product. When the Program
Shortcut check box is selected, the product
appears in the Start menu under the
MySQL
group.
Upgrade: This operation loads the Select Products to Upgrade screen and populates it with all the upgrade candidates. An installed product can have more than one upgrade version and requires a current product catalog.
Important server upgrade conditions:
MySQL Installer does not permit server upgrades between major release versions or minor release versions, but does permit upgrades within a release series, such as an upgrade from 5.7.18 to 5.7.19.
Upgrades between milestone releases (or from a milestone release to a GA release) are not supported. Significant development changes take place in milestone releases and you may encounter compatibility issues or problems starting the server.
To choose a new product version:
Click Upgrade. Confirm that the check box next to product name in the Upgradeable Products pane has a check mark. Deselect the products that you do not intend to upgrade at this time.
For server milestone releases in the same release series, MySQL Installer deselects the server upgrade and displays a warning to indicate that the upgrade is not supported, identifies the risks of continuing, and provides a summary of the steps to perform a logical upgrade manually. You can reselect server upgrade at your own risk. For instructions on how to perform a logical upgrade with a milestone release, see Logical Upgrade.
Click a product in the list to highlight it. This
action populates the Upgradeable
Versions pane with the details of each
available version for the selected product: version
number, published date, and a
Changes
link to open the release
notes for that version.
MySQL Installer upgrades all of the selected products in one action. Click
to view the actions performed by MySQL Installer.Remove This operation opens the Remove Products screen and populates it with the MySQL products installed on the host. Select the MySQL products you want to remove (uninstall) and then click to begin the removal process.
To select products to remove, do one of the following:
Select the check box for one or more products.
Select the Product check box to select all products.
The Reconfigure link in the Quick Action column next to each installed server loads the current configuration values for the server and then cycles through all configuration steps enabling you to change the options and values. On completion, MySQL Installer stops the server, applies the configuration changes, and restarts the server for you. For a description of each configuration option, see Section 2.3.3.2.2, “Server Configuration with MySQL Installer”.
Installed Samples and Examples
associated
with a specific MySQL server version can be also be
reconfigured to apply feature-configuration changes, if any.
You must provide credentials with root privileges to
reconfigure these items.
The Catalog link enables you to download the latest catalog of MySQL products manually and then to integrate those product changes with MySQL Installer. The catalog-download action does not perform an upgrade of the products already installed on the host. Instead, it returns to the dashboard and displays an arrow icon in the Version column for each installed product that has a newer version. Use the Upgrade operation to install the newer product version.
You can also use the Catalog link to display the current change history of each product without downloading the new catalog. Select the Do not update at this time check box to view the change history only.
MySQL products in the catalog are listed by category: MySQL Servers, Applications, MySQL Connectors, and Documentation. Only the latest GA versions appear in the Available Products pane by default. If you are looking for a pre-release or older version of a product, it may not be visible in the default list.
To change the default product list, click Add on the dashboard to open the Select Products and Features screen, and then click . Modify the product values and then click .
Reset one or more of the following values to filter the list of available products:
Text: Filter by text.
Category: All Software (default), MySQL Servers, Applications, MySQL Connectors, or Documentation (for samples and documentation).
Age: Pre-Release, Current GA (default), or Other Releases.
Already Downloaded (the check box is deselected by default).
Architecture: Any (default), 32-bit, or 64-bit.

Problem: attempting to
start/stop/restart a MySQL service might generate an error
similar to "The Service
MySQLVERSION
failed the most recent status change request with the
message "The service
mysqlVERSION
was not found in the Windows Services".
Explanation: this is a case-sensitivity
issue, in that the service name is
MySQLVERSION
compared to having
mysqlVERSION
in the configuration file.
Solution: either update your
MySQL Notifier configuration file with the correct information,
or stop MySQL Notifier and delete this configuration file. The
MySQL Notifier configuration file is located at
%APPDATA%\Oracle\MySQL
Notifier\settings.config
where
%APPDATA%
is a variable and depends on
your system. A typical location is
"C:\Users\YourUsername
\AppData\Running\Oracle\MySQL
Notifier\settings.config" where
YourUsername
is your system's
user name. In this file, and within the ServerList section,
change the ServerName values from lowercase to the actual
service names. For example, change
mysqlVERSION
to
MySQLVERSION
,
save, and then restart MySQL Notifier. Alternatively, stop
MySQL Notifier, delete this file, then restart MySQL Notifier.
Problem: when connecting to a remote computer for the purpose of monitoring a remote Windows service, the Add Service dialog does not always show all the services shown in the Windows Services console.
Explanation: this behavior is governed by the operating system and the outcome is expected when working with nondomain user accounts. For a complete description of the behavior, see the User Account Control and WMI article from Microsoft.
Solution: when the remote computer is in a compatible domain, it is recommended that domain user accounts are used to connect through WMI to a remote computer. For detailed setup instructions using WMI, see Section 2.3.4.2, “Setting Up Remote Monitoring in MySQL Notifier”.
Alternatively, when domain user accounts are not available, Microsoft provides a less secure workaround that should only be implemented with caution. For more information, see the Description of User Account Control and remote restrictions in Windows Vista KB article from Microsoft.
MySQL Notifier uses Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) to manage and monitor services on remote computers. This section explains how it works and how to set up your system to monitor remote MySQL instances.
In order to configure WMI, it is important to understand that the underlying Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) architecture is doing the WMI work. Specifically, MySQL Notifier is using asynchronous notification queries on remote Microsoft Windows hosts as .NET events. These events send an asynchronous callback to the computer running MySQL Notifier so it knows when a service status has changed on the remote computer. Asynchronous notifications offer the best performance compared to semisynchronous notifications or synchronous notifications that use timers.
As the following figure shows, asynchronous notification requires
the remote computer to send a callback to the client computer
(thus opening a reverse connection), so the Windows Firewall and
DCOM settings must be properly configured for the communication to
function properly. The client (Computer A), which includes an
unsecured application (unsecapp.exe
in this
example), makes an asynchronous call to a remote computer
(Computer B) and receives a call back with data.
Most of the common errors thrown by asynchronous WMI notifications are related to Windows Firewall blocking the communication, or to DCOM / WMI settings not being set up properly. For a list of common errors with solutions, see Common Errors.
The following steps are required to make WMI function. These steps are divided between two machines. A single host computer that runs MySQL Notifier (Computer A), and multiple remote machines that are being monitored (Computer B).

Users who are installing from the noinstall
package can use the instructions in this section to manually
install MySQL. The process for installing MySQL from a ZIP Archive
package is as follows:
Extract the main archive to the desired install directory
Optional: also extract the debug-test archive if you plan to execute the MySQL benchmark and test suite
Create an option file
Choose a MySQL server type
Initialize MySQL
Start the MySQL server
Secure the default user accounts
This process is described in the sections that follow.
To install MySQL manually, do the following:
If you are upgrading from a previous version please refer to Section 2.3.8, “Upgrading MySQL on Windows”, before beginning the upgrade process.
Make sure that you are logged in as a user with administrator privileges.
Choose an installation location. Traditionally, the MySQL
server is installed in C:\mysql
. If you
do not install MySQL at C:\mysql
, you
must specify the path to the install directory during
startup or in an option file. See
Section 2.3.5.2, “Creating an Option File”.
The MySQL Installer installs MySQL under C:\Program
Files\MySQL
.
Extract the install archive to the chosen installation location using your preferred file-compression tool. Some tools may extract the archive to a folder within your chosen installation location. If this occurs, you can move the contents of the subfolder into the chosen installation location.
If you need to specify startup options when you run the server, you can indicate them on the command line or place them in an option file. For options that are used every time the server starts, you may find it most convenient to use an option file to specify your MySQL configuration. This is particularly true under the following circumstances:
The installation or data directory locations are different
from the default locations (C:\Program
Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0
and
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server
8.0\data
).
You need to tune the server settings, such as memory, cache, or InnoDB configuration information.
When the MySQL server starts on Windows, it looks for option
files in several locations, such as the Windows directory,
C:\
, and the MySQL installation directory
(for the full list of locations, see
Section 4.2.6, “Using Option Files”). The Windows directory typically
is named something like C:\WINDOWS
. You can
determine its exact location from the value of the
WINDIR
environment variable using the
following command:
C:\> echo %WINDIR%
MySQL looks for options in each location first in the
my.ini
file, and then in the
my.cnf
file. However, to avoid confusion,
it is best if you use only one file. If your PC uses a boot
loader where C:
is not the boot drive, your
only option is to use the my.ini
file.
Whichever option file you use, it must be a plain text file.
When using the MySQL Installer to install MySQL Server, it will create
the my.ini
at the default location, and
the user executing MySQL Installer is granted full permissions to this
new my.ini
file.
In other words, be sure that the MySQL Server user has
permission to read the my.ini
file.
You can also make use of the example option files included with your MySQL distribution; see Section 5.1.2, “Server Configuration Defaults”.
An option file can be created and modified with any text editor,
such as Notepad. For example, if MySQL is installed in
E:\mysql
and the data directory is in
E:\mydata\data
, you can create an option
file containing a [mysqld]
section to specify
values for the basedir
and
datadir
options:
[mysqld] # set basedir to your installation path basedir=E:/mysql # set datadir to the location of your data directory datadir=E:/mydata/data
Microsoft Windows path names are specified in option files using (forward) slashes rather than backslashes. If you do use backslashes, double them:
[mysqld] # set basedir to your installation path basedir=E:\\mysql # set datadir to the location of your data directory datadir=E:\\mydata\\data
The rules for use of backslash in option file values are given in Section 4.2.6, “Using Option Files”.
The ZIP archive does not include a data
directory. To initialize a MySQL installation by creating the
data directory and populating the tables in the mysql system
database, initialize MySQL using either
--initialize
or
--initialize-insecure
. For
additional information, see
Section 2.9.1.1, “Initializing the Data Directory Manually Using mysqld”.
If you would like to use a data directory in a different
location, you should copy the entire contents of the
data
directory to the new location. For
example, if you want to use E:\mydata
as
the data directory instead, you must do two things:
Move the entire data
directory and all
of its contents from the default location (for example
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server
8.0\data
) to
E:\mydata
.
Use a --datadir
option to
specify the new data directory location each time you start
the server.
The following table shows the available servers for Windows in MySQL 8.0.
Binary | Description |
---|---|
mysqld | Optimized binary with named-pipe support |
mysqld-debug | Like mysqld, but compiled with full debugging and automatic memory allocation checking |
All of the preceding binaries are optimized for modern Intel processors, but should work on any Intel i386-class or higher processor.
Each of the servers in a distribution support the same set of
storage engines. The SHOW ENGINES
statement displays which engines a given server supports.
All Windows MySQL 8.0 servers have support for symbolic linking of database directories.
MySQL supports TCP/IP on all Windows platforms. MySQL servers on
Windows also support named pipes, if you start the server with
the --enable-named-pipe
option.
It is necessary to use this option explicitly because some users
have experienced problems with shutting down the MySQL server
when named pipes were used. The default is to use TCP/IP
regardless of platform because named pipes are slower than
TCP/IP in many Windows configurations.
If you installed MySQL using the noinstall
package, no data directory is included. To initialize the data
directory, use the instructions at
Section 2.9.1.1, “Initializing the Data Directory Manually Using mysqld”.
This section gives a general overview of starting the MySQL server. The following sections provide more specific information for starting the MySQL server from the command line or as a Windows service.
The information here applies primarily if you installed MySQL
using the noinstall
version, or if you wish
to configure and test MySQL manually rather than with the GUI
tools.
The MySQL server will automatically start after using MySQL Installer, and MySQL Notifier can be used to start/stop/restart at any time.
The examples in these sections assume that MySQL is installed
under the default location of C:\Program
Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0
. Adjust the
path names shown in the examples if you have MySQL installed in
a different location.
Clients have two options. They can use TCP/IP, or they can use a named pipe if the server supports named-pipe connections.
MySQL for Windows also supports shared-memory connections if the
server is started with the
--shared-memory
option. Clients
can connect through shared memory by using the
--protocol=MEMORY
option.
For information about which server binary to run, see Section 2.3.5.3, “Selecting a MySQL Server Type”.
Testing is best done from a command prompt in a console window (or “DOS window”). In this way you can have the server display status messages in the window where they are easy to see. If something is wrong with your configuration, these messages make it easier for you to identify and fix any problems.
The database must be initialized before MySQL can be started. For additional information about the initialization process, see Section 2.9.1.1, “Initializing the Data Directory Manually Using mysqld”.
To start the server, enter this command:
C:\> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin\mysqld" --console
For a server that includes InnoDB
support,
you should see the messages similar to those following as it
starts (the path names and sizes may differ):
InnoDB: The first specified datafile c:\ibdata\ibdata1 did not exist: InnoDB: a new database to be created! InnoDB: Setting file c:\ibdata\ibdata1 size to 209715200 InnoDB: Database physically writes the file full: wait... InnoDB: Log file c:\iblogs\ib_logfile0 did not exist: new to be created InnoDB: Setting log file c:\iblogs\ib_logfile0 size to 31457280 InnoDB: Log file c:\iblogs\ib_logfile1 did not exist: new to be created InnoDB: Setting log file c:\iblogs\ib_logfile1 size to 31457280 InnoDB: Log file c:\iblogs\ib_logfile2 did not exist: new to be created InnoDB: Setting log file c:\iblogs\ib_logfile2 size to 31457280 InnoDB: Doublewrite buffer not found: creating new InnoDB: Doublewrite buffer created InnoDB: creating foreign key constraint system tables InnoDB: foreign key constraint system tables created 011024 10:58:25 InnoDB: Started
When the server finishes its startup sequence, you should see something like this, which indicates that the server is ready to service client connections:
mysqld: ready for connections Version: '8.0.13' socket: '' port: 3306
The server continues to write to the console any further diagnostic output it produces. You can open a new console window in which to run client programs.
If you omit the --console
option,
the server writes diagnostic output to the error log in the data
directory (C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server
8.0\data
by default). The error log is
the file with the .err
extension, and may
be set using the --log-error
option.
The initial root
account in the MySQL grant
tables has no password. After starting the server, you should
set up a password for it using the instructions in
Section 2.9.4, “Securing the Initial MySQL Account”.
The MySQL server can be started manually from the command line. This can be done on any version of Windows.
MySQL Notifier can also be used to start/stop/restart the MySQL server.
To start the mysqld server from the command line, you should start a console window (or “DOS window”) and enter this command:
C:\> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin\mysqld"
The path to mysqld may vary depending on the install location of MySQL on your system.
You can stop the MySQL server by executing this command:
C:\> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin\mysqladmin" -u root shutdown
If the MySQL root
user account has a
password, you need to invoke mysqladmin
with the -p
option and supply the password
when prompted.
This command invokes the MySQL administrative utility
mysqladmin to connect to the server and tell
it to shut down. The command connects as the MySQL
root
user, which is the default
administrative account in the MySQL grant system.
Users in the MySQL grant system are wholly independent from any login users under Microsoft Windows.
If mysqld doesn't start, check the error log
to see whether the server wrote any messages there to indicate
the cause of the problem. By default, the error log is located
in the C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server
8.0\data
directory. It is the file with
a suffix of .err
, or may be specified by
passing in the --log-error
option. Alternatively, you can try to start the server with the
--console
option; in this case,
the server may display some useful information on the screen
that will help solve the problem.
The last option is to start mysqld with the
--standalone
and
--debug
options. In this case,
mysqld writes a log file
C:\mysqld.trace
that should contain the
reason why mysqld doesn't start. See
Section 28.5.3, “The DBUG Package”.
Use mysqld --verbose --help to display all the options that mysqld supports.
You must exercise great care when editing your system
PATH
by hand; accidental deletion or
modification of any portion of the existing
PATH
value can leave you with a
malfunctioning or even unusable system.
To make it easier to invoke MySQL programs, you can add the path
name of the MySQL bin
directory to your
Windows system PATH
environment variable:
On the Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, and select .
Next select the
tab from the menu that appears, and click the button.Under System Variables, select , and then click the button. The dialogue should appear.
Place your cursor at the end of the text appearing in the
space marked Variable Value. (Use the
End key to ensure that your cursor is
positioned at the very end of the text in this space.) Then
enter the complete path name of your MySQL
bin
directory (for example,
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server
8.0\bin
)
There must be a semicolon separating this path from any values present in this field.
Dismiss this dialogue, and each dialogue in turn, by
clicking PATH
value should now be available to any
new command shell you open, allowing you to invoke any MySQL
executable program by typing its name at the DOS prompt from
any directory on the system, without having to supply the
path. This includes the servers, the
mysql client, and all MySQL command-line
utilities such as mysqladmin and
mysqldump.
You should not add the MySQL bin
directory
to your Windows PATH
if you are running
multiple MySQL servers on the same machine.
On Windows, the recommended way to run MySQL is to install it as a Windows service, so that MySQL starts and stops automatically when Windows starts and stops. A MySQL server installed as a service can also be controlled from the command line using NET commands, or with the graphical Services utility. Generally, to install MySQL as a Windows service you should be logged in using an account that has administrator rights.
MySQL Notifier can also be used to monitor the status of the MySQL service.
The Services utility (the Windows Service Control Manager) can be found in the Windows Control Panel (under on Windows Vista, and Server 2003). To avoid conflicts, it is advisable to close the Services utility while performing server installation or removal operations from the command line.
Before installing MySQL as a Windows service, you should first stop the current server if it is running by using the following command:
C:\>"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin\mysqladmin"
-u root shutdown
If the MySQL root
user account has a
password, you need to invoke mysqladmin
with the -p
option and supply the password
when prompted.
This command invokes the MySQL administrative utility
mysqladmin to connect to the server and tell
it to shut down. The command connects as the MySQL
root
user, which is the default
administrative account in the MySQL grant system.
Users in the MySQL grant system are wholly independent from any login users under Windows.
Install the server as a service using this command:
C:\> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin\mysqld" --install
The service-installation command does not start the server. Instructions for that are given later in this section.
To make it easier to invoke MySQL programs, you can add the path
name of the MySQL bin
directory to your
Windows system PATH
environment variable:
On the Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, and select .
Next select the
tab from the menu that appears, and click the button.Under System Variables, select , and then click the button. The dialogue should appear.
Place your cursor at the end of the text appearing in the
space marked Variable Value. (Use the
End key to ensure that your cursor is
positioned at the very end of the text in this space.) Then
enter the complete path name of your MySQL
bin
directory (for example,
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server
8.0\bin
), and there should be a
semicolon separating this path from any values present in
this field. Dismiss this dialogue, and each dialogue in
turn, by clicking until all of the
dialogues that were opened have been dismissed. You should
now be able to invoke any MySQL executable program by typing
its name at the DOS prompt from any directory on the system,
without having to supply the path. This includes the
servers, the mysql client, and all MySQL
command-line utilities such as mysqladmin
and mysqldump.
You should not add the MySQL bin
directory to your Windows PATH
if you are
running multiple MySQL servers on the same machine.
You must exercise great care when editing your system
PATH
by hand; accidental deletion or
modification of any portion of the existing
PATH
value can leave you with a
malfunctioning or even unusable system.
The following additional arguments can be used when installing the service:
You can specify a service name immediately following the
--install
option. The default service name
is MySQL
.
If a service name is given, it can be followed by a single
option. By convention, this should be
--defaults-file=
to specify the name of an option file from which the server
should read options when it starts.
file_name
The use of a single option other than
--defaults-file
is possible
but discouraged.
--defaults-file
is more
flexible because it enables you to specify multiple startup
options for the server by placing them in the named option
file.
You can also specify a --local-service
option following the service name. This causes the server to
run using the LocalService
Windows
account that has limited system privileges. If both
--defaults-file
and
--local-service
are given following the
service name, they can be in any order.
For a MySQL server that is installed as a Windows service, the following rules determine the service name and option files that the server uses:
If the service-installation command specifies no service
name or the default service name (MySQL
)
following the --install
option, the server
uses the service name of MySQL
and reads
options from the [mysqld]
group in the
standard option files.
If the service-installation command specifies a service name
other than MySQL
following the
--install
option, the server uses that
service name. It reads options from the
[mysqld]
group and the group that has the
same name as the service in the standard option files. This
enables you to use the [mysqld]
group for
options that should be used by all MySQL services, and an
option group with the service name for use by the server
installed with that service name.
If the service-installation command specifies a
--defaults-file
option after
the service name, the server reads options the same way as
described in the previous item, except that it reads options
only from the named file and ignores the standard option
files.
As a more complex example, consider the following command:
C:\>"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin\mysqld"
--install MySQL --defaults-file=C:\my-opts.cnf
Here, the default service name (MySQL
) is
given after the --install
option. If no
--defaults-file
option had been
given, this command would have the effect of causing the server
to read the [mysqld]
group from the standard
option files. However, because the
--defaults-file
option is
present, the server reads options from the
[mysqld]
option group, and only from the
named file.
On Windows, if the server is started with the
--defaults-file
and
--install
options,
--install
must be first.
Otherwise, mysqld.exe
will attempt to start
the MySQL server.
You can also specify options as Start parameters in the Windows Services utility before you start the MySQL service.
Finally, before trying to start the MySQL service, make sure the
user variables %TEMP%
and
%TMP%
(and also %TMPDIR%
,
if it has ever been set) for the system user who is to run the
service are pointing to a folder to which the user has write
access. The default user for running the MySQL service is
LocalSystem
, and the default value for its
%TEMP%
and %TMP%
is
C:\Windows\Temp
, a directory
LocalSystem
has write access to by default.
However, if there are any changes to that default setup (for
example, changes to the user who runs the service or to the
mentioned user variables, or the
--tmpdir
option has been used to
put the temporary directory somewhere else), the MySQL service
might fail to run because write access to the temporary
directory has not been granted to the proper user.
After a MySQL server instance has been installed as a service, Windows starts the service automatically whenever Windows starts. The service also can be started immediately from the Services utility, or by using a NET START MySQL command. The NET command is not case-sensitive.
When run as a service, mysqld has no access
to a console window, so no messages can be seen there. If
mysqld does not start, check the error log to
see whether the server wrote any messages there to indicate the
cause of the problem. The error log is located in the MySQL data
directory (for example, C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL
Server 8.0\data
). It is the file with a
suffix of .err
.
When a MySQL server has been installed as a service, and the
service is running, Windows stops the service automatically when
Windows shuts down. The server also can be stopped manually by
using the Services
utility, the NET
STOP MySQL command, or the mysqladmin
shutdown command.
You also have the choice of installing the server as a manual
service if you do not wish for the service to be started
automatically during the boot process. To do this, use the
--install-manual
option rather than the
--install
option:
C:\> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin\mysqld" --install-manual
To remove a server that is installed as a service, first stop it
if it is running by executing NET STOP MySQL.
Then use the --remove
option to
remove it:
C:\> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin\mysqld" --remove
If mysqld is not running as a service, you can start it from the command line. For instructions, see Section 2.3.5.6, “Starting MySQL from the Windows Command Line”.
If you encounter difficulties during installation, see Section 2.3.6, “Troubleshooting a Microsoft Windows MySQL Server Installation”.
For more information about stopping or removing a MySQL Windows service, see Section 5.7.2.2, “Starting Multiple MySQL Instances as Windows Services”.
You can test whether the MySQL server is working by executing any of the following commands:
C:\>"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin\mysqlshow"
C:\>"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin\mysqlshow" -u root mysql
C:\>"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin\mysqladmin" version status proc
C:\>"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin\mysql" test
If mysqld is slow to respond to TCP/IP
connections from client programs, there is probably a problem
with your DNS. In this case, start mysqld
with the --skip-name-resolve
option and use only localhost
and IP
addresses in the Host
column of the MySQL
grant tables. (Be sure that an account exists that specifies an
IP address or you may not be able to connect.)
You can force a MySQL client to use a named-pipe connection
rather than TCP/IP by specifying the
--pipe
or
--protocol=PIPE
option, or by
specifying .
(period) as the host name. Use
the --socket
option to specify
the name of the pipe if you do not want to use the default pipe
name.
If you have set a password for the root
account, deleted the anonymous account, or created a new user
account, then to connect to the MySQL server you must use the
appropriate -u
and -p
options
with the commands shown previously. See
Section 4.2.2, “Connecting to the MySQL Server”.
For more information about mysqlshow, see Section 4.5.8, “mysqlshow — Display Database, Table, and Column Information”.
When installing and running MySQL for the first time, you may encounter certain errors that prevent the MySQL server from starting. This section helps you diagnose and correct some of these errors.
Your first resource when troubleshooting server issues is the
error log. The MySQL server
uses the error log to record information relevant to the error
that prevents the server from starting. The error log is located
in the data directory
specified in your my.ini
file. The default
data directory location is C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL
Server 8.0\data
, or
C:\ProgramData\Mysql
on Windows 7 and Windows
Server 2008. The C:\ProgramData
directory is
hidden by default. You need to change your folder options to see
the directory and contents. For more information on the error log
and understanding the content, see Section 5.4.2, “The Error Log”.
For information regarding possible errors, also consult the console messages displayed when the MySQL service is starting. Use the NET START MySQL command from the command line after installing mysqld as a service to see any error messages regarding the starting of the MySQL server as a service. See Section 2.3.5.8, “Starting MySQL as a Windows Service”.
The following examples show other common error messages you might encounter when installing MySQL and starting the server for the first time:
If the MySQL server cannot find the mysql
privileges database or other critical files, it displays these
messages:
System error 1067 has occurred. Fatal error: Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.user' doesn't exist
These messages often occur when the MySQL base or data
directories are installed in different locations than the
default locations (C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL
Server 8.0
and C:\Program
Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\data
,
respectively).
This situation can occur when MySQL is upgraded and installed to a new location, but the configuration file is not updated to reflect the new location. In addition, old and new configuration files might conflict. Be sure to delete or rename any old configuration files when upgrading MySQL.
If you have installed MySQL to a directory other than
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server
8.0
, ensure that the MySQL server is
aware of this through the use of a configuration
(my.ini
) file. Put the
my.ini
file in your Windows directory,
typically C:\WINDOWS
. To determine its
exact location from the value of the WINDIR
environment variable, issue the following command from the
command prompt:
C:\> echo %WINDIR%
You can create or modify an option file with any text editor,
such as Notepad. For example, if MySQL is installed in
E:\mysql
and the data directory is
D:\MySQLdata
, you can create the option
file and set up a [mysqld]
section to
specify values for the basedir
and
datadir
options:
[mysqld] # set basedir to your installation path basedir=E:/mysql # set datadir to the location of your data directory datadir=D:/MySQLdata
Microsoft Windows path names are specified in option files using (forward) slashes rather than backslashes. If you do use backslashes, double them:
[mysqld] # set basedir to your installation path basedir=C:\\Program Files\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 8.0 # set datadir to the location of your data directory datadir=D:\\MySQLdata
The rules for use of backslash in option file values are given in Section 4.2.6, “Using Option Files”.
If you change the datadir
value in your MySQL
configuration file, you must move the contents of the existing
MySQL data directory before restarting the MySQL server.
If you reinstall or upgrade MySQL without first stopping and removing the existing MySQL service and install MySQL using the MySQL Installer, you might see this error:
Error: Cannot create Windows service for MySql. Error: 0
This occurs when the Configuration Wizard tries to install the service and finds an existing service with the same name.
One solution to this problem is to choose a service name other
than mysql
when using the configuration
wizard. This enables the new service to be installed
correctly, but leaves the outdated service in place. Although
this is harmless, it is best to remove old services that are
no longer in use.
To permanently remove the old mysql
service, execute the following command as a user with
administrative privileges, on the command line:
C:\> sc delete mysql
[SC] DeleteService SUCCESS
If the sc
utility is not available for your
version of Windows, download the delsrv
utility from
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/existing/delsrv-o.asp
and use the delsrv mysql
syntax.
GUI tools exist that perform most of the tasks described in this section, including:
MySQL Installer: Used to install and upgrade MySQL products.
MySQL Workbench: Manages the MySQL server and edits SQL statements.
MySQL Notifier: Starts, stops, or restarts the MySQL server, and monitors its status.
MySQL for Excel: Edits MySQL data with Microsoft Excel.
If necessary, initialize the data directory and create the MySQL grant tables. Windows installation operations performed by MySQL Installer initialize the data directory automatically. For installation from a ZIP Archive package, you can initialize the data directory as described at Section 2.9.1.1, “Initializing the Data Directory Manually Using mysqld”.
Regarding passwords, if you installed MySQL using the MySQL Installer, you
may have already assigned a passwords to the initial
root
account. (See
Section 2.3.3, “MySQL Installer for Windows”.) Otherwise, use the
password-assignment procedure given in
Section 2.9.4, “Securing the Initial MySQL Account”.
Before assigning passwords, you might want to try running some client programs to make sure that you can connect to the server and that it is operating properly. Make sure that the server is running (see Section 2.3.5.5, “Starting the Server for the First Time”). You can also set up a MySQL service that runs automatically when Windows starts (see Section 2.3.5.8, “Starting MySQL as a Windows Service”).
These instructions assume that your current location is the MySQL
installation directory and that it has a bin
subdirectory containing the MySQL programs used here. If that is
not true, adjust the command path names accordingly.
If you installed MySQL using MySQL Installer (see
Section 2.3.3, “MySQL Installer for Windows”), the default installation
directory is C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server
8.0
:
C:\> cd "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0"
A common installation location for installation from a ZIP archive
is C:\mysql
:
C:\> cd C:\mysql
Alternatively, add the bin
directory to your
PATH
environment variable setting. That enables
your command interpreter to find MySQL programs properly, so that
you can run a program by typing only its name, not its path name.
See Section 2.3.5.7, “Customizing the PATH for MySQL Tools”.
With the server running, issue the following commands to verify that you can retrieve information from the server. The output should be similar to that shown here.
Use mysqlshow to see what databases exist:
C:\> bin\mysqlshow
+--------------------+
| Databases |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| mysql |
| performance_schema |
| sys |
+--------------------+
The list of installed databases may vary, but will always include
the minimum of mysql
and
information_schema
.
The preceding command (and commands for other MySQL programs such
as mysql) may not work if the correct MySQL
account does not exist. For example, the program may fail with an
error, or you may not be able to view all databases. If you
installed MySQL using MySQL Installer, the root
user will
have been created automatically with the password you supplied. In
this case, you should use the -u root
and
-p
options. (You must use those options if you
have already secured the initial MySQL accounts.) With
-p
, the client program prompts for the
root
password. For example:
C:\>bin\mysqlshow -u root -p
Enter password:(enter root password here)
+--------------------+ | Databases | +--------------------+ | information_schema | | mysql | | performance_schema | | sys | +--------------------+
If you specify a database name, mysqlshow displays a list of the tables within the database:
C:\> bin\mysqlshow mysql
Database: mysql
+---------------------------+
| Tables |
+---------------------------+
| columns_priv |
| db |
| engine_cost |
| event |
| func |
| general_log |
| gtid_executed |
| help_category |
| help_keyword |
| help_relation |
| help_topic |
| innodb_index_stats |
| innodb_table_stats |
| ndb_binlog_index |
| plugin |
| proc |
| procs_priv |
| proxies_priv |
| server_cost |
| servers |
| slave_master_info |
| slave_relay_log_info |
| slave_worker_info |
| slow_log |
| tables_priv |
| time_zone |
| time_zone_leap_second |
| time_zone_name |
| time_zone_transition |
| time_zone_transition_type |
| user |
+---------------------------+
Use the mysql program to select information
from a table in the mysql
database:
C:\> bin\mysql -e "SELECT User, Host, plugin FROM mysql.user" mysql
+------+-----------+-----------------------+
| User | Host | plugin |
+------+-----------+-----------------------+
| root | localhost | caching_sha2_password |
+------+-----------+-----------------------+
For more information about mysql and mysqlshow, see Section 4.5.1, “mysql — The MySQL Command-Line Tool”, and Section 4.5.8, “mysqlshow — Display Database, Table, and Column Information”.
There are two approaches for upgrading MySQL on Windows:
Using MySQL Installer
Using the Windows ZIP archive distribution
The approach you select depends on how the existing installation was performed. Before proceeding, review Section 2.10.1, “Upgrading MySQL” for additional information on upgrading MySQL that is not specific to Windows.
Upgrades between milestone releases (or from a milestone release to a GA release) are not supported. Significant development changes take place in milestone releases and you may encounter compatibility issues or problems starting the server.
Performing an upgrade with MySQL Installer is the best approach when the current server installation was performed with it and the upgrade is within the current release series. MySQL Installer does not support upgrades between release series, such as from 5.7 to 8.0, and it does not provide an upgrade indicator to prompt you to upgrade. For instruction on upgrading between release series, see Upgrading MySQL Using the Windows ZIP Distribution.
To perform an upgrade using MySQL Installer:
Start MySQL Installer.
From the dashboard, click Catalog to download the latest changes to the catalog. The installed server can be upgraded only if the dashboard displays an arrow next to the version number of the server.
Click Upgrade. All products that have newer versions will appear in a list.
For server milestone releases in the same release series, MySQL Installer deselects the server upgrade and displays a warning to indicate that the upgrade is not supported, identifies the risks of continuing, and provides a summary of the steps to perform an upgrade manually. You can reselect server upgrade and proceed at your own risk.
Deselect all but the MySQL server product, unless you intend to upgrade other products at this time, and click
.Click
to start the download. When the download finishes, click to apply the updates.Configure the server.
To perform an upgrade using the Windows ZIP archive distribution:
Always back up your current MySQL installation before performing an upgrade. See Section 7.2, “Database Backup Methods”.
Download the latest Windows ZIP Archive distribution of MySQL from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/.
Before upgrading MySQL, stop the server. If the server is installed as a service, stop the service with the following command from the command prompt:
C:\> NET STOP MySQL
If you are not running the MySQL server as a service, use mysqladmin to stop it. For example, before upgrading from MySQL 5.7 to 8.0, use mysqladmin from MySQL 5.7 as follows:
C:\> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\bin\mysqladmin" -u root shutdown
If the MySQL root
user account has a
password, invoke mysqladmin with the
-p
option and enter the password when
prompted.
Extract the ZIP archive. You may either overwrite your
existing MySQL installation (usually located at
C:\mysql
), or install it into a
different directory, such as C:\mysql8
.
Overwriting the existing installation is recommended.
If you were running MySQL as a Windows service and you had to remove the service earlier in this procedure, reinstall the service. (See Section 2.3.5.8, “Starting MySQL as a Windows Service”.)
Restart the server. For example, use NET START MySQL if you run MySQL as a service, or invoke mysqld directly otherwise.
As Administrator, run mysql_upgrade to check your tables, attempt to repair them if necessary, and update your grant tables if they have changed so that you can take advantage of any new capabilities. See Section 4.4.5, “mysql_upgrade — Check and Upgrade MySQL Tables”.
If you encounter errors, see Section 2.3.6, “Troubleshooting a Microsoft Windows MySQL Server Installation”.
The MySQL Docker images provided by Oracle are built specifically for Linux platforms. Other platforms are not supported, and users running the MySQL Docker images from Oracle on them are doing so at their own risk. This section discusses some known issues for the images when used on non-Linux platforms.
Known Issues for using the MySQL Server Docker images from Oracle on Windows include:
If you are bind-mounting on the container's MySQL data
directory (see
Persisting Data and Configuration Changes for
details), you have to set the location of the server socket
file with the --socket
option
to somewhere outside of the MySQL data directory; otherwise,
the server will fail to start. This is because the way Docker
for Windows handles file mounting does not allow a host file
from being bind-mounted on the socket file.
For a list of macOS versions that the MySQL server supports, see http://www.mysql.com/support/supportedplatforms/database.html.
MySQL for macOS is available in a number of different forms:
Native Package Installer, which uses the native macOS installer (DMG) to walk you through the installation of MySQL. For more information, see Section 2.4.2, “Installing MySQL on macOS Using Native Packages”. You can use the package installer with macOS. The user you use to perform the installation must have administrator privileges.
Compressed TAR archive, which uses a file packaged using the Unix tar and gzip commands. To use this method, you will need to open a Terminal window. You do not need administrator privileges using this method, as you can install the MySQL server anywhere using this method. For more information on using this method, you can use the generic instructions for using a tarball, Section 2.2, “Installing MySQL on Unix/Linux Using Generic Binaries”.
In addition to the core installation, the Package Installer also includes Section 2.4.3, “Installing and Using the MySQL Launch Daemon” and Section 2.4.4, “Installing and Using the MySQL Preference Pane” to simplify the management of your installation.
For additional information on using MySQL on macOS, see Section 2.4.1, “General Notes on Installing MySQL on macOS”.
You should keep the following issues and notes in mind:
Other MySQL installations: The installation procedure does not recognize MySQL installations by package managers such as Homebrew. The installation and upgrade process is for MySQL packages provided by us. If other installations are present, then consider stopping them before executing this installer to avoid port conflicts.
Homebrew: For example, if you installed MySQL Server using Homebrew to its default location then the MySQL installer installs to a different location and won't upgrade the version from Homebrew. In this scenario you would end up with multiple MySQL installations that, by default, attempt to use the same ports. Stop the other MySQL Server instances before running this installer, such as executing brew services stop mysql to stop the Homebrew's MySQL service.
Launchd: A launchd daemon is installed that alters MySQL configuration options. Consider editing it if needed, see the documentation below for additional information. Also, macOS 10.10 removed startup item support in favor of launchd daemons. The optional MySQL preference pane under macOS System Preferences uses the launchd daemon.
Users: You may need (or want)
to create a specific mysql
user to own the
MySQL directory and data. You can do this through the
Directory Utility, and the
mysql
user should already exist. For use in
single user mode, an entry for _mysql
(note
the underscore prefix) should already exist within the system
/etc/passwd
file.
Data: Because the MySQL
package installer installs the MySQL contents into a version
and platform specific directory, you can use this to upgrade
and migrate your database between versions. You will need to
either copy the data
directory from the
old version to the new version, or alternatively specify an
alternative datadir
value to set location of
the data directory. By default, the MySQL directories are
installed under /usr/local/
.
Aliases: You might want to add aliases to your shell's resource file to make it easier to access commonly used programs such as mysql and mysqladmin from the command line. The syntax for bash is:
alias mysql=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql alias mysqladmin=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin
For tcsh, use:
alias mysql /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql alias mysqladmin /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin
Even better, add /usr/local/mysql/bin
to
your PATH
environment variable. You can do
this by modifying the appropriate startup file for your shell.
For more information, see Section 4.2.1, “Invoking MySQL Programs”.
Removing: After you have
copied over the MySQL database files from the previous
installation and have successfully started the new server, you
should consider removing the old installation files to save
disk space. Additionally, you should also remove older
versions of the Package Receipt directories located in
/Library/Receipts/mysql-
.
VERSION
.pkg
Legacy: Prior to OS X 10.7, MySQL server was bundled with OS X Server.
The package is located inside a disk image
(.dmg
) file that you first need to mount by
double-clicking its icon in the Finder. It should then mount the
image and display its contents.
Before proceeding with the installation, be sure to stop all running MySQL server instances by using either the MySQL Manager Application (on macOS Server), the preference pane, or mysqladmin shutdown on the command line.
To install MySQL using the package installer:
Download the disk image (.dmg
) file (the
community version is available
here) that
contains the MySQL package installer. Double-click the file to
mount the disk image and see its contents.
Double-click the MySQL installer package from the disk. It is
named according to the version of MySQL you have downloaded.
For example, for MySQL server 8.0.13 it might be
named
mysql-8.0.13-osx-
.
10.13-x86_64
.pkg
The initial wizard introduction screen references the MySQL server version to install. Click
to begin the installation.The MySQL community edition shows a copy of the relevant GNU General Public License. Click
and then to continue.From the Installation Type page you can either click to execute the installation wizard using all defaults, click to alter which components to install (MySQL server, MySQL Test, Preference Pane, Launchd Support -- all but MySQL Test are enabled by default).
Although the
option is visible, the installation location cannot be changed.Click
to install MySQL Server. The installation process ends here if upgrading a current MySQL Server installation, otherwise follow the wizard's additional configuration steps for your new MySQL Server installation.After a successful new MySQL Server installation, complete the configuration steps by choosing the default encryption type for passwords, define the root password, and also enable (or disable) MySQL server at startup.
The default MySQL 8.0 password mechanism is
caching_sha2_password
(Strong), and this
step allows you to change it to
mysql_native_password
(Legacy).
Choosing the legacy password mechanism alters the generated
launchd file to set
--default_authentication_plugin=mysql_native_password
under ProgramArguments
. Choosing strong
password encryption does not set
--default_authentication_plugin
because the
default MySQL Server value is used, which is
caching_sha2_password
.
Define a password for the root user, and also toggle whether MySQL Server should start after the configuration step is complete.
Summary is the final step and references a successful and complete MySQL Server installation. the wizard.
MySQL server is now installed. If you chose to not start MySQL, then use either launchctl from the command line or start MySQL by clicking "Start" using the MySQL preference pane. For additional information, see Section 2.4.3, “Installing and Using the MySQL Launch Daemon”, and Section 2.4.4, “Installing and Using the MySQL Preference Pane”. Use the MySQL Preference Pane or launchd to configure MySQL to automatically start at bootup.
When installing using the package installer, the files are
installed into a directory within /usr/local
matching the name of the installation version and platform. For
example, the installer file
mysql-8.0.13-
installs MySQL into
osx10.13-x86_64.dmg
/usr/local/mysql-8.0.13-osx10.13-x86_64/
with a symlink to
/usr/local/mysql
. The following table shows
the layout of this MySQL installation directory.

macOS uses launch daemons to automatically start, stop, and manage processes and applications such as MySQL.
By default, the installation package (DMG) on macOS installs a
launchd file named
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.oracle.oss.mysql.mysqld.plist
that contains a plist definition similar to:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Label</key> <string>com.oracle.oss.mysql.mysqld</string> <key>ProcessType</key> <string>Interactive</string> <key>Disabled</key> <false/> <key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/> <key>KeepAlive</key> <true/> <key>SessionCreate</key> <true/> <key>LaunchOnlyOnce</key> <false/> <key>UserName</key> <string>_mysql</string> <key>GroupName</key> <string>_mysql</string> <key>ExitTimeOut</key> <integer>600</integer> <key>Program</key> <string>/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld</string> <string>--user=_mysql</string> <string>--basedir=/usr/local/mysql</string> <string>--datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data</string> <string>--plugin-dir=/usr/local/mysql/lib/plugin</string> <string>--log-error=/usr/local/mysql/data/mysqld.local.err</string> <string>--pid-file=/usr/local/mysql/data/mysqld.local.pid</string> <string>--keyring-file-data=/usr/local/mysql/keyring/keyring</string> <string>--early-plugin-load=keyring_file=keyring_file.so</string> </array> <key>WorkingDirectory</key> <string>/usr/local/mysql</string> </dict> </plist>
Some users report that adding a plist DOCTYPE declaration causes the launchd operation to fail, despite it passing the lint check. We suspect it's a copy-n-paste error. The md5 checksum of a file containing the above snippet is d925f05f6d1b6ee5ce5451b596d6baed.
To enable the launchd service, you can either:
Open macOS system preferences and select the MySQL preference panel, and then execute
.
The Instances page includes an option to
start or stop MySQL, and recreates the data/
directory. uninstalls MySQL
Server and optionally the MySQL preference panel and launchd
information.
Or, manually load the launchd file.
shell> cd /Library/LaunchDaemons shell> sudo launchctl load -F com.oracle.oss.mysql.mysqld.plist
To configure MySQL to automatically start at bootup, you can:
shell> sudo launchctl load -w com.oracle.oss.mysql.mysqld.plist
When upgrading MySQL server, the launchd installation process will remove the old startup items that were installed with MySQL server 5.7.7 and below.
Also, upgrading will replace your existing launchd file named
com.oracle.oss.mysql.mysqld.plist
.
Additional launchd related information:
The plist entries override my.cnf
entries, because they are passed in as command line arguments.
For additional information about passing in program options,
see Section 4.2.3, “Specifying Program Options”.
The ProgramArguments section
defines the command line options that are passed into the
program, which is the mysqld
binary in
this case.
The default plist definition is written with less
sophisticated use cases in mind. For more complicated setups,
you may want to remove some of the arguments and instead rely
on a MySQL configuration file, such as
my.cnf
.
If you edit the plist file, then uncheck the installer option when reinstalling or upgrading MySQL. Otherwise, your edited plist file will be overwritten, and all edits will be lost.
Because the default plist definition defines several
ProgramArguments, you might
remove most of these arguments and instead rely upon your
my.cnf
MySQL configuration file to define
them. For example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Label</key> <string>com.oracle.oss.mysql.mysqld</string> <key>ProcessType</key> <string>Interactive</string> <key>Disabled</key> <false/> <key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/> <key>KeepAlive</key> <true/> <key>SessionCreate</key> <true/> <key>LaunchOnlyOnce</key> <false/> <key>UserName</key> <string>_mysql</string> <key>GroupName</key> <string>_mysql</string> <key>ExitTimeOut</key> <integer>600</integer> <key>Program</key> <string>/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld</string> <string>--user=_mysql</string> <string>--basedir=/usr/local/mysql</string> <string>--datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data</string> <string>--plugin-dir=/usr/local/mysql/lib/plugin</string> <string>--log-error=/usr/local/mysql/data/mysqld.local.err</string> <string>--pid-file=/usr/local/mysql/data/mysqld.local.pid</string> <string>--keyring-file-data=/usr/local/mysql/keyring/keyring</string> <string>--early-plugin-load=keyring_file=keyring_file.so</string> </array> <key>WorkingDirectory</key> <string>/usr/local/mysql</string> </dict> </plist>
In this case, the basedir
,
datadir
,
plugin_dir
,
log_error
,
pid_file
,
keyring_file_data
, and
--early-plugin-load
options were
removed from the default plist
ProgramArguments definition, which you might
have defined in my.cnf
instead.
The MySQL Installation Package includes a MySQL preference pane that enables you to start, stop, and control automated startup during boot of your MySQL installation.
This preference pane is installed by default, and is listed under your system's System Preferences window.
The MySQL preference pane is installed with the same DMG file that installs MySQL Server. Typically it is installed with MySQL Server but it can be installed by itself too.
To install the MySQL preference pane:
Go through the process of installing the MySQL server, as described in the documentation at Section 2.4.2, “Installing MySQL on macOS Using Native Packages”.
Click Installation Type step. The "Preference Pane" option is listed there and enabled by default; make sure it is not deselected. The other options, such as MySQL Server, can be selected or deslected.
at theComplete the installation process.
The MySQL preference pane only starts and stops MySQL installation installed from the MySQL package installation that have been installed in the default location.
Once the MySQL preference pane has been installed, you can control your MySQL server instance using this preference pane.
The Instances page includes an option to
start and stop MySQL, and recreates the data/
directory. uninstalls MySQL
Server and optionally the pain and launchd information.
The Instances page includes an option to
start or stop MySQL, and recreates the data/
directory. uninstalls MySQL
Server and optionally the MySQL preference panel and launchd
information.
The Configuration page shows MySQL Server options including the path to the MySQL configuration file.
The MySQL Preference Pane shows the current status of the MySQL server, showing stopped (in red) if the server is not running and running (in green) if the server has already been started. The preference pane also shows the current setting for whether the MySQL server has been set to start automatically.
Linux supports a number of different solutions for installing MySQL. We recommend that you use one of the distributions from Oracle, for which several methods for installation are available:
Table 2.7 Linux Installation Methods and Information
Type | Setup Method | Additional Information |
---|---|---|
Apt | Enable the MySQL Apt repository | Documentation |
Yum | Enable the MySQL Yum repository | Documentation |
Zypper | Enable the MySQL SLES repository | Documentation |
RPM | Download a specific package | Documentation |
DEB | Download a specific package | Documentation |
Generic | Download a generic package | Documentation |
Source | Compile from source | Documentation |
Docker | Use Docker Hub | Documentation |
Oracle Unbreakable Linux Network | Use ULN channels | Documentation |
As an alternative, you can use the package manager on your system to automatically download and install MySQL with packages from the native software repositories of your Linux distribution. These native packages are often several versions behind the currently available release. You will also normally be unable to install development milestone releases (DMRs), as these are not usually made available in the native repositories. For more information on using the native package installers, see Section 2.5.7, “Installing MySQL on Linux from the Native Software Repositories”.
For many Linux installations, you will want to set up MySQL to be
started automatically when your machine starts. Many of the native
package installations perform this operation for you, but for
source, binary and RPM solutions you may need to set this up
separately. The required script, mysql.server,
can be found in the support-files
directory
under the MySQL installation directory or in a MySQL source tree.
You can install it as /etc/init.d/mysql
for
automatic MySQL startup and shutdown. See
Section 4.3.3, “mysql.server — MySQL Server Startup Script”.
The MySQL Yum repository for Oracle Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, and Fedora provides RPM packages for installing the MySQL server, client, MySQL Workbench, MySQL Utilities, MySQL Router, MySQL Shell, Connector/ODBC, Connector/Python and so on (not all packages are available for all the distributions; see Installing Additional MySQL Products and Components with Yum for details).
As a popular, open-source software, MySQL, in its original or re-packaged form, is widely installed on many systems from various sources, including different software download sites, software repositories, and so on. The following instructions assume that MySQL is not already installed on your system using a third-party-distributed RPM package; if that is not the case, follow the instructions given in Section 2.10.1.3, “Upgrading MySQL with the MySQL Yum Repository” or Replacing a Third-Party Distribution of MySQL Using the MySQL Yum Repository.
Follow the steps below to install the latest GA version of MySQL with the MySQL Yum repository:
First, add the MySQL Yum repository to your system's repository list. This is a one-time operation, which can be performed by installing an RPM provided by MySQL. Follow these steps:
Go to the Download MySQL Yum Repository page (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/yum/) in the MySQL Developer Zone.
Select and download the release package for your platform.
Install the downloaded release package with the
following command, replacing
platform-and-version-specific-package-name
with the name of the downloaded RPM package:
shell> sudo yum localinstall platform-and-version-specific-package-name
.rpm
For an EL6-based system, the command is in the form of:
shell> sudo yum localinstall mysql57-community-release-el6-{version-number}
.noarch.rpm
For an EL7-based system:
shell> sudo yum localinstall mysql57-community-release-el7-{version-number}
.noarch.rpm
For Fedora 26:
shell> sudo dnf localinstall mysql57-community-release-fc26-{version-number}
.noarch.rpm
For Fedora 27:
shell> sudo dnf localinstall mysql57-community-release-fc27-{version-number}
.noarch.rpm
The installation command adds the MySQL Yum repository to your system's repository list and downloads the GnuPG key to check the integrity of the software packages. See Section 2.1.3.2, “Signature Checking Using GnuPG” for details on GnuPG key checking.
You can check that the MySQL Yum repository has been successfully added by the following command (for dnf-enabled systems, replace yum in the command with dnf):
shell> yum repolist enabled | grep "mysql.*-community.*"
Once the MySQL Yum repository is enabled on your system, any system-wide update by the yum update command (or dnf upgrade for dnf-enabled systems) will upgrade MySQL packages on your system and also replace any native third-party packages, if Yum finds replacements for them in the MySQL Yum repository; see Section 2.10.1.3, “Upgrading MySQL with the MySQL Yum Repository” and, for a discussion on some possible effects of that on your system, see Upgrading the Shared Client Libraries.
When using the MySQL Yum repository, the latest GA series (currently MySQL 5.7) is selected for installation by default. If this is what you want, you can skip to the next step, Installing MySQL.
Within the MySQL Yum repository, different release series of the MySQL Community Server are hosted in different subrepositories. The subrepository for the latest GA series (currently MySQL 5.7) is enabled by default, and the subrepositories for all other series (for example, the MySQL 8.0 series) are disabled by default. Use this command to see all the subrepositories in the MySQL Yum repository, and see which of them are enabled or disabled (for dnf-enabled systems, replace yum in the command with dnf):
shell> yum repolist all | grep mysql
To install the latest release from the latest GA series, no configuration is needed. To install the latest release from a specific series other than the latest GA series, disable the subrepository for the latest GA series and enable the subrepository for the specific series before running the installation command. If your platform supports yum-config-manager, you can do that by issuing these commands, which disable the subrepository for the 5.7 series and enable the one for the 8.0 series:
shell>sudo yum-config-manager --disable mysql57-community
shell>sudo yum-config-manager --enable mysql80-community
For dnf-enabled platforms:
shell>sudo dnf config-manager --disable mysql57-community
shell>sudo dnf config-manager --enable mysql80-community
Besides using yum-config-manager or the
dnf config-manager command, you can also
select a release series by editing manually the
/etc/yum.repos.d/mysql-community.repo
file. This is a typical entry for a release series'
subrepository in the file:
[mysql57-community] name=MySQL 5.7 Community Server baseurl=http://repo.mysql.com/yum/mysql-5.7-community/el/6/$basearch/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-mysql
Find the entry for the subrepository you want to configure,
and edit the enabled
option. Specify
enabled=0
to disable a subrepository, or
enabled=1
to enable a subrepository. For
example, to install MySQL 8.0, make sure you have
enabled=0
for the above subrepository entry
for MySQL 5.7, and have enabled=1
for the
entry for the 8.0 series:
# Enable to use MySQL 8.0 [mysql80-community] name=MySQL 8.0 Community Server baseurl=http://repo.mysql.com/yum/mysql-8.0-community/el/6/$basearch/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-mysql
You should only enable subrepository for one release series at any time. When subrepositories for more than one release series are enabled, the latest series will be used by Yum.
Verify that the correct subrepositories have been enabled and disabled by running the following command and checking its output (for dnf-enabled systems, replace yum in the command with dnf):
shell> yum repolist enabled | grep mysql
Install MySQL by the following command (for dnf-enabled systems, replace yum in the command with dnf):
shell> sudo yum install mysql-community-server
This installs the package for MySQL server
(mysql-community-server
) and also
packages for the components required to run the server,
including packages for the client
(mysql-community-client
), the common
error messages and character sets for client and server
(mysql-community-common
), and the shared
client libraries (mysql-community-libs
).
Start the MySQL server with the following command:
shell> sudo service mysqld start
Starting mysqld:[ OK ]
You can check the status of the MySQL server with the following command:
shell> sudo service mysqld status
mysqld (pid 3066) is running.
At the initial start up of the server, the following happens, given that the data directory of the server is empty:
The server is initialized.
SSL certificate and key files are generated in the data directory.
validate_password
is installed and enabled.
A superuser account 'root'@'localhost
is
created. A password for the superuser is set and stored in the
error log file. To reveal it, use the following command:
shell> sudo grep 'temporary password' /var/log/mysqld.log
Change the root password as soon as possible by logging in with the generated, temporary password and set a custom password for the superuser account:
shell> mysql -uroot -p
mysql> ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'MyNewPass4!';
validate_password
is installed by default. The default password policy
implemented by validate_password
requires
that passwords contain at least one upper case letter, one
lower case letter, one digit, and one special character, and
that the total password length is at least 8 characters.
For more information on the postinstallation procedures, see Section 2.9, “Postinstallation Setup and Testing”.
Compatibility Information for EL7-based platforms: The following RPM packages from the native software repositories of the platforms are incompatible with the package from the MySQL Yum repository that installs the MySQL server. Once you have installed MySQL using the MySQL Yum repository, you will not be able to install these packages (and vice versa).
akonadi-mysql
You can use Yum to install and manage individual components of MySQL. Some of these components are hosted in sub-repositories of the MySQL Yum repository: for example, the MySQL Connectors are to be found in the MySQL Connectors Community sub-repository, and the MySQL Workbench in MySQL Tools Community. You can use the following command to list the packages for all the MySQL components available for your platform from the MySQL Yum repository (for dnf-enabled systems, replace yum in the command with dnf):
shell> sudo yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo='mysql*-community*' list available
Install any packages of your choice with the following command,
replacing package-name
with name of the
package (for dnf-enabled systems, replace yum
in the command with dnf):
shell> sudo yum install package-name
For example, to install MySQL Workbench on Fedora:
shell> sudo dnf install mysql-workbench-community
To install the shared client libraries (for dnf-enabled systems, replace yum in the command with dnf):
shell> sudo yum install mysql-community-libs
Besides installation, you can also perform updates for MySQL products and components using the MySQL Yum repository. See Section 2.10.1.3, “Upgrading MySQL with the MySQL Yum Repository” for details.
The MySQL APT repository provides deb
packages for installing and managing the MySQL server, client, and
other components on the following Linux platforms:
Debian 9
Ubuntu 16.04, 17.10, and 18.04
Instructions for using the MySQL APT Repository are available in A Quick Guide to Using the MySQL APT Repository.
The MySQL SLES repository provides RPM packages for installing and managing the MySQL server, client, and other components on SUSE Enterprise Linux Server.
Instructions for using the MySQL SLES repository are available in A Quick Guide to Using the MySQL SLES Repository.
The MySQL SLES repository is now in development release. We encourage you to try it and provide us with feedback. Please report any bugs or inconsistencies you observe to our Bugs Database.
The recommended way to install MySQL on RPM-based Linux distributions is by using the RPM packages provided by Oracle. There are two sources for obtaining them, for the Community Edition of MySQL:
From the MySQL software repositories:
The MySQL Yum repository (see Section 2.5.1, “Installing MySQL on Linux Using the MySQL Yum Repository” for details).
The MySQL SLES repository (see Section 2.5.3, “Installing MySQL on Linux Using the MySQL SLES Repository” for details).
From the Download MySQL Community Server page in the MySQL Developer Zone.
RPM distributions of MySQL are also provided by other vendors. Be aware that they may differ from those built by Oracle in features, capabilities, and conventions (including communication setup), and that the installation instructions in this manual do not necessarily apply to them. The vendor's instructions should be consulted instead.
RPM packages for MySQL are listed in the following tables:

The full names for the RPMs have the following syntax:
packagename
-version
-distribution
-arch
.rpm
The distribution
and
arch
values indicate the Linux
distribution and the processor type for which the package was
built. See the table below for lists of the distribution
identifiers:
Table 2.10 MySQL Linux RPM Package Distribution Identifiers
distribution Value | Intended Use |
---|---|
el6 , el7 |
Red Hat Enterprise Linux/Oracle Linux/CentOS 6 or 7 |
fc26 , fc27 ,
fc28 |
Fedora 26, 27, and 28 |
sles12 |
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 |
To see all files in an RPM package (for example,
mysql-community-server
), use the following
command:
shell> rpm -qpl mysql-community-server-version
-distribution
-arch
.rpm
The discussion in the rest of this section applies only to an installation process using the RPM packages directly downloaded from Oracle, instead of through a MySQL repository.
Dependency relationships exist among some of the packages. If you plan to install many of the packages, you may wish to download the RPM bundle tar file instead, which contains all the RPM packages listed above, so that you need not download them separately.
In most cases, you need to install the
mysql-community-server
,
mysql-community-client
,
mysql-community-libs
,
mysql-community-common
, and
mysql-community-libs-compat
packages to get a
functional, standard MySQL installation. To perform such a
standard, basic installation, go to the folder that contains all
those packages (and, preferably, no other RPM packages with
similar names), and issue the following command:
shell> sudo yum install mysql-community-{server,client,common,libs}-*
Replace yum with zypper for SLES, and with dnf for Fedora.
While it is much preferable to use a high-level package management tool like yum to install the packages, users who prefer direct rpm commands can replace the yum install command with the rpm -Uvh command; however, using rpm -Uvh instead makes the installation process more prone to failure, due to potential dependency issues the installation process might run into.
To install only the client programs, you can skip
mysql-community-server
in your list of packages
to install; issue the following command:
shell> sudo yum install mysql-community-{client,common,libs}-*
Replace yum with zypper for SLES, and with dnf for Fedora.
A standard installation of MySQL using the RPM packages result in files and resources created under the system directories, shown in the following table.
Table 2.11 MySQL Installation Layout for Linux RPM Packages from the MySQL Developer Zone
Files or Resources | Location |
---|---|
Client programs and scripts | /usr/bin |
mysqld server | /usr/sbin |
Configuration file | /etc/my.cnf |
Data directory | /var/lib/mysql |
Error log file |
For RHEL, Oracle Linux, CentOS or Fedora platforms:
For SLES: |
Value of secure_file_priv |
/var/lib/mysql-files |
System V init script |
For RHEL, Oracle Linux, CentOS or Fedora platforms:
For SLES: |

For RHEL, Oracle Linux, CentOS or Fedora platforms:
For SLES: |
Pid file | /var/run/mysql/mysqld.pid |
Socket | /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock |
Keyring directory | /var/lib/mysql-keyring |
Unix manual pages | /usr/share/man |
Include (header) files | /usr/include/mysql |
Libraries | /usr/lib/mysql |
Miscellaneous support files (for example, error messages, and character set files) | /usr/share/mysql |
The installation also creates a user named
mysql
and a group named
mysql
on the system.
Installation of previous versions of MySQL using older packages
might have created a configuration file named
/usr/my.cnf
. It is highly recommended that
you examine the contents of the file and migrate the desired
settings inside to the file /etc/my.cnf
file, then remove /usr/my.cnf
.
MySQL is NOT automatically started at the end of the installation process. For Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Oracle Linux, CentOS, and Fedora systems, use the following command to start MySQL:
shell> sudo service mysqld start
For SLES systems, the command is the same, but the service name is different:
shell> sudo service mysql start
If the operating system is systemd enabled, standard
service commands such as
stop, start,
status and restart should be
used to manage the MySQL server service. The
mysqld
service is enabled by default, and it
starts at system reboot. Notice that certain things might work
differently on systemd platforms: for example, changing the
location of the data directory might cause issues. See
Section 2.5.9, “Managing MySQL Server with systemd” for additional information.
During an upgrade installation using RPM packages, if the MySQL server is running when the upgrade occurs then the MySQL server is stopped, the upgrade occurs, and the MySQL server is restarted. One exception: if the edition also changes during an upgrade (such as community to commercial, or vice-versa), then MySQL server is not restarted.
At the initial start up of the server, the following happens, given that the data directory of the server is empty:
The server is initialized.
An SSL certificate and key files are generated in the data directory.
validate_password
is installed and enabled.
A superuser account 'root'@'localhost'
is
created. A password for the superuser is set and stored in the
error log file. To reveal it, use the following command for
RHEL, Oracle Linux, CentOS, and Fedora systems:
shell> sudo grep 'temporary password' /var/log/mysqld.log
Use the following command for SLES systems:
shell> sudo grep 'temporary password' /var/log/mysql/mysqld.log
The next step is to log in with the generated, temporary password and set a custom password for the superuser account:
shell> mysql -uroot -p
mysql> ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'MyNewPass4!';
validate_password
is installed by default. The default password policy implemented
by validate_password
requires that passwords
contain at least one upper case letter, one lower case letter,
one digit, and one special character, and that the total
password length is at least 8 characters.
If something goes wrong during installation, you might find debug
information in the error log file
/var/log/mysqld.log
.
For some Linux distributions, it might be necessary to increase the limit on number of file descriptors available to mysqld. See Section B.5.2.17, “File Not Found and Similar Errors”
Installing Client Libraries from Multiple MySQL Versions.
It is possible to install multiple client library versions, such
as for the case that you want to maintain compatibility with
older applications linked against previous libraries. To install
an older client library, use the --oldpackage
option with rpm. For example, to install
mysql-community-libs-5.5
on an EL6 system
that has libmysqlclient.21
from MySQL 8.0,
use a command like this:
shell> rpm --oldpackage -ivh mysql-community-libs-5.5.50-2.el6.x86_64.rpm
Debug Package.
A special variant of MySQL Server compiled with the
debug package has been
included in the server RPM packages. It performs debugging and
memory allocation checks and produces a trace file when the
server is running. To use that debug version, start MySQL with
/usr/sbin/mysqld-debug
, instead of starting
it as a service or with /usr/sbin/mysqld
.
See Section 28.5.3, “The DBUG Package” for the debug options you can
use.
The default plugin directory for debug builds changed from
/usr/lib64/mysql/plugin
to
/usr/lib64/mysql/plugin/debug
in 8.0.4.
Previously, manually changing plugin_dir
was
required.
Rebuilding RPMs from source SRPMs. Source code SRPM packages for MySQL are available for download. They can be used as-is to rebuild the MySQL RPMs with the standard rpmbuild tool chain.
Oracle provides Debian packages for installing MySQL on Debian or Debian-like Linux systems. The packages are available through two different channels:
The MySQL APT Repository. This is the preferred method for installing MySQL on Debian-like systems, as it provides a simple and convenient way to install and update MySQL products. For details, see Section 2.5.2, “Installing MySQL on Linux Using the MySQL APT Repository”.
The MySQL Developer Zone's Download Area. For details, see Section 2.1.2, “How to Get MySQL”. The following are some information on the Debian packages available there and the instructions for installing them:
Various Debian packages are provided in the MySQL
Developer Zone for installing different components of
MySQL on different Debian or Ubuntu platforms (currently,
Debian 9, and Ubuntu 16, 17, and 18 are supported). The
preferred method is to use the tarball bundle, which
contains the packages needed for a basic setup of MySQL.
The tarball bundles have names in the format of
mysql-server_
.
MVER
-DVER
_CPU
.deb-bundle.tarMVER
is the MySQL version and
DVER
is the Linux distribution
version. The CPU
value
indicates the processor type or family for which the
package is built, as shown in the following table:
Table 2.12 MySQL Debian and Ubuntu Installation Packages CPU Identifiers
CPU Value |
Intended Processor Type or Family |
---|---|
i386 |
Pentium processor or better, 32 bit |
amd64 |
64-bit x86 processor |
After downloading the tarball, unpack it with the following command:
shell> tar -xvf mysql-server_MVER
-DVER
_CPU
.deb-bundle.tar
You may need to install the libaio
library if it is not already present on your system:
shell> sudo apt-get install libaio1
Preconfigure the MySQL server package with the following command:
shell> sudo dpkg-preconfigure mysql-community-server_*.deb
You will be asked to provide a password for the root user for your MySQL installation. You might also be asked other questions regarding the installation.
Make sure you remember the root password you set. Users who want to set a password later can leave the password field blank in the dialogue box and just press ; in that case, root access to the server is authenticated using the MySQL Socket Peer-Credential Authentication Plugin for connections using a Unix socket file. You can set the root password later using mysql_secure_installation.
For a basic installation of the MySQL server, install the database common files package, the client package, the client metapackage, the server package, and the server metapackage (in that order); you can do that with a single command:
shell> sudo dpkg -i mysql-{common,community-client,client,community-server,server}_*.deb
There are also packages with
server-core
and
client-core
in the package names. These
contain binaries only and are installed automatically by
the standard packages. Installing them by themselves will
not result in a functioning MySQL setup.
If you are being warned of unmet dependencies by dpkg, you can fix them using apt-get:
sudo apt-get -f install
Here are where the files are installed on the system:
All configuration files (like
my.cnf
) are under
/etc/mysql
All binaries, libraries, headers, etc., are under
/usr/bin
and
/usr/sbin
The data directory is under
/var/lib/mysql
Debian distributions of MySQL are also provided by other vendors. Be aware that they may differ from those built by Oracle in features, capabilities, and conventions (including communication setup), and that the instructions in this manual do not necessarily apply to installing them. The vendor's instructions should be consulted instead.
The Docker deployment framework supports easy installation and configuration of MySQL Server. This section explains how to use a MySQL Server Docker image.
You need to have Docker installed on your system before you can use a MySQL Server Docker image. See Install Docker for instructions.
You need to either run docker
commands with
sudo
, or create a docker
usergroup, and then add to it any users who want to run
docker
commands. See details
here.
Because Docker containers are always run with root privileges,
you should understand the
Docker
daemon attack surface and properly mitigate the related
risks.
The instructions for using the MySQL Docker container are divided into two sections.
Downloading the server image in a separate step is not strictly necessary; however, performing this step before you create your Docker container ensures your local image is up to date. To download the MySQL Community Server image, run this command:
docker pull mysql/mysql-server:tag
The tag
is the label for the image
version you want to pull (for example, 5.5
,
5.6
, 5.7
,
8.0
, or latest
). If
:
is
omitted, the tag
latest
label is used, and the
image for the latest GA version of MySQL Community Server is
downloaded. Refer to the list of tags for available versions on
the
mysql/mysql-server
page in the Docker Hub.
To download the MySQL Enterprise Edition 8.0 image, run this command:
docker pull store/oracle/mysql-enterprise-server:8.0
You can list downloaded Docker images with this command:
shell> docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
mysql/mysql-server latest 3157d7f55f8d 4 weeks ago 241MB
Start a new Docker container for the MySQL Server with this command:
docker run --name=mysql1 -d mysql/mysql-server:tag
The --name
option, for supplying a custom name
for your server container (mysql1
in the
example), is optional; if no container name is supplied, a
random one is generated. If the Docker image of the specified
name and tag has not been downloaded by an earlier
docker pull or docker run
command, the image is now downloaded. After download completes,
initialization for the container begins, and the container
appears in the list of running containers when you run the
docker ps command; for example:
shell> docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
a24888f0d6f4 mysql/mysql-server "/entrypoint.sh my..." 14 seconds ago Up 13 seconds (health: starting) 3306/tcp, 33060/tcp mysql1
The container initialization might take some time. When the
server is ready for use, the STATUS
of the
container in the output of the docker ps
command changes from (health: starting)
to
(healthy)
.
The -d
option used in the docker
run command above makes the container run in the
background. Use this command to monitor the output from the
container:
docker logs mysql1
Once initialization is finished, the command's output is going to contain the random password generated for the root user; check the password with, for example, this command:
shell> docker logs mysql1 2>&1 | grep GENERATED
GENERATED ROOT PASSWORD: Axegh3kAJyDLaRuBemecis&EShOs
Once the server is ready, you can run the mysql client within the MySQL Server container you just started, and connect it to the MySQL Server. Use the docker exec -it command to start a mysql client inside the Docker container you have started, like the following:
docker exec -it mysql1 mysql -uroot -p
When asked, enter the generated root password (see the last step
in Starting a MySQL Server Instance above on how
to find the password). Because the
MYSQL_ONETIME_PASSWORD
option is true by default, after you have connected a
mysql client to the server, you must reset
the server root password by issuing this statement:
mysql> ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password
';
Substitute password
with the password
of your choice. Once the password is reset, the server is ready
for use.
To have shell access to your MySQL Server container, use the docker exec -it command to start a bash shell inside the container:
shell> docker exec -it mysql1 bash
bash-4.2#
You can then run Linux commands inside the container. For example, to view contents in the server's data directory inside the container, use this command:
bash-4.2# ls /var/lib/mysql
auto.cnf ca.pem client-key.pem ib_logfile0 ibdata1 mysql mysql.sock.lock private_key.pem server-cert.pem sys
ca-key.pem client-cert.pem ib_buffer_pool ib_logfile1 ibtmp1 mysql.sock performance_schema public_key.pem server-key.pem
To stop the MySQL Server container we have created, use this command:
docker stop mysql1
docker stop sends a SIGTERM signal to the mysqld process, so that the server is shut down gracefully.
Also notice that when the main process of a container (mysqld in the case of a MySQL Server container) is stopped, the Docker container stops automatically.
To start the MySQL Server container again:
docker start mysql1
To stop and start again the MySQL Server container with a single command:
docker restart mysql1
To delete the MySQL container, stop it first, and then use the docker rm command:
docker stop mysql1
docker rm mysql1
If you want the
Docker
volume for the server's data directory to be deleted at
the same time, add the -v
option to the
docker rm command.
Before performing any upgrade to MySQL, follow carefully the instructions in Section 2.10.1, “Upgrading MySQL”. Among other instructions discussed there, it is especially important to back up your database before the upgrade.
The instructions in this section require that the server's data and configuration have been persisted on the host. See Persisting Data and Configuration Changes for details.
Follow these steps to upgrade a Docker installation of MySQL 5.7 to 8.0:
Stop the MySQL 5.7 server (container name is
mysql57
in this example):
docker stop mysql57
Download the MySQL 8.0 Server Docker image.
For MySQL Community Edition, run this command:
docker pull mysql/mysql-server:8.0
For MySQL Enterprise Edition, run this command:
docker pull store/oracle/mysql-enterprise-server:8.0
Start a new MySQL 8.0 Docker container (named
mysql80
in this example) with the old
server data and configuration (with proper modifications if
needed—see Section 2.10.1, “Upgrading MySQL”) that have been
persisted on the host (by
bind-mounting
in this example).
For the MySQL Community Server, run this command:
docker run --name=mysql80 \
--mount type=bind,src=/path-on-host-machine/my.cnf,dst=/etc/my.cnf \
--mount type=bind,src=/path-on-host-machine/datadir,dst=/var/lib/mysql \
-d mysql/mysql-server:8.0
For the MySQL Enterprise Server, run this command:
docker run --name=mysql80 \
--mount type=bind,src=/path-on-host-machine/my.cnf,dst=/etc/my.cnf \
--mount type=bind,src=/path-on-host-machine/datadir,dst=/var/lib/mysql \
-d store/oracle/mysql-enterprise-server:8.0
Wait for the server to finish startup. You can check the status of the server using the docker ps command (see Starting a MySQL Server Instance for how to do that).
Run the mysql_upgrade utility in the MySQL 8.0 Server container:
docker exec -it mysql80 mysql_upgrade -uroot -p
When prompted, enter the root password for your old MySQL 5.7 Server.
Finish the upgrade by restarting the MySQL 8.0 Server container:
docker restart mysql80
For more topics on deploying MySQL Server with Docker like server configuration, persisting data and configuration, server error log, and container environment variables, see Section 2.5.6.2, “More Topics on Deploying MySQL Server with Docker”.
Docker images for MySQL are optimized for code size, which means they only include crucial components that are expected to be relevant for the majority of users who run MySQL instances in Docker containers. A MySQL Docker installation is different from a common, non-Docker installation in the following aspects:
Included binaries are limited to:
/usr/bin/my_print_defaults
/usr/bin/mysql
/usr/bin/mysql_config
/usr/bin/mysql_install_db
/usr/bin/mysql_tzinfo_to_sql
/usr/bin/mysql_upgrade
/usr/bin/mysqladmin
/usr/bin/mysqlcheck
/usr/bin/mysqldump
/usr/bin/mysqlpump
/usr/sbin/mysqld
All binaries are stripped; they contain no debug information.
When you start the MySQL Docker container, you can pass configuration options to the server through the docker run command; for example, for the MySQL Server:
docker run --name mysql1 -d mysql/mysql-server --character-set-server=utf8mb4 --collation-server=utf8mb4_col
The command starts your MySQL Server with
utf8mb4
as the default character set and
utf8mb4_col
as the default collation for your
databases.
Another way to configure the MySQL Server is to prepare a configuration file and mount it at the location of the server configuration file inside the container. See Persisting Data and Configuration Changes for details.
Docker containers are in principle ephemeral, and any data or
configuration are expected to be lost if the container is
deleted or corrupted (see discussions
here).
Docker
volumes, however, provides a mechanism to persist data
created inside a Docker container. At its initialization, the
MySQL Server container creates a Docker volume for the server
data directory. The JSON output for running the docker
inspect command on the container has a
Mount
key, whose value provides information
on the data directory volume:
shell> docker inspect mysql1
...
"Mounts": [
{
"Type": "volume",
"Name": "4f2d463cfc4bdd4baebcb098c97d7da3337195ed2c6572bc0b89f7e845d27652",
"Source": "/var/lib/docker/volumes/4f2d463cfc4bdd4baebcb098c97d7da3337195ed2c6572bc0b89f7e845d27652/_data",
"Destination": "/var/lib/mysql",
"Driver": "local",
"Mode": "",
"RW": true,
"Propagation": ""
}
],
...
The output shows that the source folder
/var/lib/docker/volumes/4f2d463cfc4bdd4baebcb098c97d7da3337195ed2c6572bc0b89f7e845d27652/_data
,
in which data is persisted on the host, has been mounted at
/var/lib/mysql
, the server data directory
inside the container.
Another way to preserve data is to
bind-mount
a host directory using the --mount
option when
creating the container. The same technique can be used to
persist the configuration of the server. The following command
creates a MySQL Server container and bind-mounts both the data
directory and the server configuration file:
docker run --name=mysql1 \
--mount type=bind,src=/path-on-host-machine/my.cnf
,dst=/etc/my.cnf \
--mount type=bind,src=/path-on-host-machine/datadir
,dst=/var/lib/mysql \
-d mysql/mysql-server:tag
The command mounts
at path-on-host-machine/my.cnf
(the
server configuration file inside the container), and
/etc/my.cnf
at path-on-host-machine/datadir
(the
data directory inside the container). The following conditions
must be met for the bind-mounting to work:
/var/lib/mysql
The configuration file
must already exist, and it must contain the specification
for starting the server using the user
path-on-host-machine/my.cnf
mysql
:
[mysqld] user=mysql
You can also include other server configuration options in the file.
The data directory
must already exist. For server initialization to happen,
the directory must be empty. You can also mount a
directory prepopulated with data and start the server with
it; however, you must make sure you start the Docker
container with the same configuration as the server that
created the data, and any host files or directories
required are mounted when starting the container.
path-on-host-machine/datadir
If there are any .sh
or
.sql
scripts you want to run on the
database immediately after it has been created, you can put them
into a host directory and then mount the directory at
/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/
inside the
container. For example, for a MySQL Server container:
docker run --name=mysql1 \
--mount type=bind,src=/path-on-host-machine/scripts/
,dst=/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/ \
-d mysql/mysql-server:tag
By setting up a Docker network, you can allow multiple Docker containers to communicate with each other, so that a client application in another Docker container can access the MySQL Server in the server container. First, create a Docker network:
docker network create my-custom-net
Then, when you are creating and starting the server and the
client containers, use the --network
option to
put them on network you created. For example:
docker run --name=mysql1 --network=my-custom-net
-d mysql/mysql-server
docker run --name=myapp1 --network=my-custom-net
-d myapp
The myapp1
container can then connect to the
mysql1
container with the
mysql1
hostname and vice versa, as Docker
automatically sets up a DNS for the given container names. In
the following example, we run the
mysq
l client from inside
the myapp1
container to connect to host
mysql1
in its own container:
docker exec -it myapp1 mysql --host=mysql1 --user=myuser --password
For other networking techniques for containers, see the Docker container networking section in the Docker Documentation.
When the MySQL Server is first started with your server container, a server error log is NOT generated if either of the following conditions is true:
A server configuration file from the host has been mounted,
but the file does not contain the system variable
log_error
(see
Persisting Data and Configuration Changes on
bind-mounting a server configuration file).
A server configuration file from the host has not been
mounted, but the Docker environment variable
MYSQL_LOG_CONSOLE
is true
(which is the variable's default
state for MySQL 8.0 server containers). The MySQL Server's
error log is then redirected to stderr
,
so that the error log goes into the Docker container's log
and is viewable using the docker logs
mysqld-container
command.
To make MySQL Server generate an error log when either of the
two conditions is true, use the
--log-error
option to
configure the
server to generate the error log at a specific location
inside the container. To persist the error log, mount a host
file at the location of the error log inside the container as
explained in
Persisting Data and Configuration Changes. However,
you must make sure your MySQL Server inside its container has
write access to the mounted host file.
When you create a MySQL Server container, you can configure the
MySQL instance by using the --env
option
(-e
in short) and specifying one or more of the
following environment variables.
None of the variables below has any effect if the data directory you mount is not empty, as no server initialization is going to be attempted then (see Persisting Data and Configuration Changes for more details). Any pre-existing contents in the folder, including any old server settings, are not modified during the container startup.
The boolean variables including
MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD
,
MYSQL_ONETIME_PASSWORD
,
MYSQL_ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD
,
and
MYSQL_LOG_CONSOLE
are made true by setting them with any strings of
nonzero lengths.
Therefore, setting them to, for example,
“0”, “false”, or
“no” does not make them false, but actually
makes them true. This is a known issue of the MySQL
Server containers.
MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD
:
When this variable is true (which is its default state,
unless
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD
or
MYSQL_ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD
is set to true), a random password for the server's root
user is generated when the Docker container is started. The
password is printed to stdout
of the
container and can be found by looking at the container’s
log (see Starting a MySQL Server Instance).
MYSQL_ONETIME_PASSWORD
:
When the variable is true (which is its default state,
unless
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD
is set or
MYSQL_ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD
is set to true), the root user's password is set as expired
and must be changed before MySQL can be used normally.
MYSQL_DATABASE
:
This variable allows you to specify the name of a database
to be created on image startup. If a user name and a
password are supplied with
MYSQL_USER
and
MYSQL_PASSWORD
,
the user is created and granted superuser access to this
database (corresponding to GRANT ALL
).
The specified database is created by a
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT
EXIST statement, so that the variable has no effect
if the database already exists.
MYSQL_USER
,
MYSQL_PASSWORD
:
These variables are used in conjunction to create a user and
set that user's password, and the user is granted superuser
permissions for the database specified by the
MYSQL_DATABASE
variable. Both
MYSQL_USER
and
MYSQL_PASSWORD
are required for a user to be created—if any of the
two variables is not set, the other is ignored. If both
variables are set but
MYSQL_DATABASE
is not, the user is created without any privileges.
There is no need to use this mechanism to create the
root superuser, which is created by default with the
password set by either one of the mechanisms discussed
in the descriptions for
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD
and
MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD
,
unless
MYSQL_ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD
is true.
MYSQL_ROOT_HOST
:
By default, MySQL creates the
'root'@'localhost'
account. This account
can only be connected to from inside the container as
described in
Connecting to MySQL Server from within the Container. To
allow root connections from other hosts, set this
environment variable. For example, the value
172.17.0.1
, which is the default Docker
gateway IP, allows connections from the host machine that
runs the container. The option accepts only one entry, but
wildcards are allowed (for example,
MYSQL_ROOT_HOST=172.*.*.*
or
MYSQL_ROOT_HOST=%
).
MYSQL_LOG_CONSOLE
:
When the variable is true (which is its default state for
MySQL 8.0 server containers), the MySQL Server's error log
is redirected to stderr
, so that the
error log goes into the Docker container's log and is
viewable using the docker logs
mysqld-container
command.
The variable has no effect if a server configuration file from the host has been mounted (see Persisting Data and Configuration Changes on bind-mounting a configuration file).
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD
:
This variable specifies a password that is set for the MySQL
root account.
Setting the MySQL root user password on the command line
is insecure. As an alternative to specifying the
password explicitly, you can set the variable with a
container file path for a password file, and then mount
a file from your host that contains the password at the
container file path. This is still not very secure, as
the location of the password file is still exposed. It
is preferable to use the default settings of
MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD=true
and
MYSQL_ONETIME_PASSWORD=true
being both true.
MYSQL_ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD
.
Set it to true to allow the container to be started with a
blank password for the root user.
Setting this variable to true is insecure, because it is
going to leave your MySQL instance completely
unprotected, allowing anyone to gain complete superuser
access. It is preferable to use the default settings of
MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD=true
and
MYSQL_ONETIME_PASSWORD=true
being both true.
Many Linux distributions include a version of the MySQL server, client tools, and development components in their native software repositories and can be installed with the platforms' standard package management systems. This section provides basic instructions for installing MySQL using those package management systems.
Native packages are often several versions behind the currently available release. You will also normally be unable to install development milestone releases (DMRs), as these are not usually made available in the native repositories. Before proceeding, we recommend that you check out the other installation options described in Section 2.5, “Installing MySQL on Linux”.
Distribution specific instructions are shown below:
Red Hat Linux, Fedora, CentOS
For a number of Linux distributions, you can install MySQL using the MySQL Yum repository instead of the platform's native software repository. See Section 2.5.1, “Installing MySQL on Linux Using the MySQL Yum Repository” for details.
For Red Hat and similar distributions, the MySQL distribution
is divided into a number of separate packages,
mysql
for the client tools,
mysql-server
for the server and associated
tools, and mysql-libs
for the libraries.
The libraries are required if you want to provide connectivity
from different languages and environments such as Perl, Python
and others.
To install, use the yum command to specify the packages that you want to install. For example:
root-shell> yum install mysql mysql-server mysql-libs mysql-server Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package mysql.x86_64 0:5.1.48-2.fc13 set to be updated ---> Package mysql-libs.x86_64 0:5.1.48-2.fc13 set to be updated ---> Package mysql-server.x86_64 0:5.1.48-2.fc13 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: perl-DBD-MySQL for package: mysql-server-5.1.48-2.fc13.x86_64 --> Running transaction check ---> Package perl-DBD-MySQL.x86_64 0:4.017-1.fc13 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Installing: mysql x86_64 5.1.48-2.fc13 updates 889 k mysql-libs x86_64 5.1.48-2.fc13 updates 1.2 M mysql-server x86_64 5.1.48-2.fc13 updates 8.1 M Installing for dependencies: perl-DBD-MySQL x86_64 4.017-1.fc13 updates 136 k Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Install 4 Package(s) Upgrade 0 Package(s) Total download size: 10 M Installed size: 30 M Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: Setting up and reading Presto delta metadata Processing delta metadata Package(s) data still to download: 10 M (1/4): mysql-5.1.48-2.fc13.x86_64.rpm | 889 kB 00:04 (2/4): mysql-libs-5.1.48-2.fc13.x86_64.rpm | 1.2 MB 00:06 (3/4): mysql-server-5.1.48-2.fc13.x86_64.rpm | 8.1 MB 00:40 (4/4): perl-DBD-MySQL-4.017-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm | 136 kB 00:00 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 201 kB/s | 10 MB 00:52 Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Installing : mysql-libs-5.1.48-2.fc13.x86_64 1/4 Installing : mysql-5.1.48-2.fc13.x86_64 2/4 Installing : perl-DBD-MySQL-4.017-1.fc13.x86_64 3/4 Installing : mysql-server-5.1.48-2.fc13.x86_64 4/4 Installed: mysql.x86_64 0:5.1.48-2.fc13 mysql-libs.x86_64 0:5.1.48-2.fc13 mysql-server.x86_64 0:5.1.48-2.fc13 Dependency Installed: perl-DBD-MySQL.x86_64 0:4.017-1.fc13 Complete!
MySQL and the MySQL server should now be installed. A sample
configuration file is installed into
/etc/my.cnf
. An init script, to start and
stop the server, will have been installed into
/etc/init.d/mysqld
. To start the MySQL
server use service:
root-shell> service mysqld start
To enable the server to be started and stopped automatically during boot, use chkconfig:
root-shell> chkconfig --levels 235 mysqld on
Which enables the MySQL server to be started (and stopped) automatically at the specified the run levels.
The database tables will have been automatically created for you, if they do not already exist. You should, however, run mysql_secure_installation to set the root passwords on your server.
Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu
For Debian 8 and Ubuntu 14 and 16, MySQL can be installed using the MySQL APT Repository instead of the platform's native software repository. See Section 2.5.2, “Installing MySQL on Linux Using the MySQL APT Repository” for details.
On Debian and related distributions, there are two packages
for MySQL in their software repositories,
mysql-client
and
mysql-server
, for the client and server
components respectively. You should specify an explicit
version, for example mysql-client-5.1
, to
ensure that you install the version of MySQL that you want.
To download and install, including any dependencies, use the apt-get command, specifying the packages that you want to install.
Before installing, make sure that you update your
apt-get
index files to ensure you are
downloading the latest available version.
A sample installation of the MySQL packages might look like this (some sections trimmed for clarity):
root-shell> apt-get install mysql-client-5.1 mysql-server-5.1 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: linux-headers-2.6.28-11 linux-headers-2.6.28-11-generic Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

The apt-get command will install a number of packages, including the MySQL server, in order to provide the typical tools and application environment. This can mean that you install a large number of packages in addition to the main MySQL package.
During installation, the initial database will be created, and
you will be prompted for the MySQL root password (and
confirmation). A configuration file will have been created in
/etc/mysql/my.cnf
. An init script will
have been created in /etc/init.d/mysql
.
The server will already be started. You can manually start and stop the server using:
root-shell> service mysql [start|stop]
The service will automatically be added to the 2, 3 and 4 run levels, with stop scripts in the single, shutdown and restart levels.
The Juju deployment framework supports easy installation and configuration of MySQL servers. For instructions, see https://jujucharms.com/mysql/.
If you install MySQL using an RPM or Debian package on the following Linux platforms, server startup and shutdown is managed by systemd:
RPM package platforms:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; Oracle Linux 7; CentOS 7
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12
Fedora 26, 27, and 28
Debian package platforms:
Debian 8 or higher
Ubuntu 16 or higher
If you install MySQL from a generic binary distribution on a platform that uses systemd, you can manually configure systemd support for MySQL following the instructions provided in the post-installation setup section of the MySQL 8.0 Secure Deployment Guide.
If you install MySQL from a source distribution on a platform that
uses systemd, obtain systemd support for MySQL by configuring the
distribution using the
-DWITH_SYSTEMD=1
CMake option. See
Section 2.8.4, “MySQL Source-Configuration Options”.
The following discussion covers these topics:
On platforms for which systemd support for MySQL is installed, scripts such as mysqld_safe and the System V initialization script are unnecessary and are not installed. For example, mysqld_safe can handle server restarts, but systemd provides the same capability, and does so in a manner consistent with management of other services rather than by using an application-specific program.
Because systemd has the capability of managing multiple MySQL instances on platforms for which systemd support for MySQL is installed, mysqld_multi and mysqld_multi.server are unnecessary and are not installed.
systemd provides automatic MySQL server startup and shutdown. It also enables manual server management using the systemctl command. For example:
systemctl {start|stop|restart|status} mysqld
Alternatively, use the service command (with the arguments reversed), which is compatible with System V systems:
service mysqld {start|stop|restart|status}
For the systemctl or
service commands, if the MySQL service name
is not mysqld
, use the appropriate name.
For example, use mysql
rather than
mysqld
on Debian-based and SLES systems.
Support for systemd includes these files:
mysqld.service
(RPM platforms),
mysql.service
(Debian platforms):
systemd service unit configuration file, with details about
the MySQL service.
mysqld@.service
(RPM platforms),
mysql@.service
(Debian platforms): Like
mysqld.service
or
mysql.service
, but used for managing
multiple MySQL instances.
mysqld.tmpfiles.d
: File containing
information to support the tmpfiles
feature. This file is installed under the name
mysql.conf
.
mysqld_pre_systemd
(RPM platforms),
mysql-system-start
(Debian platforms):
Support script for the unit file. This script assists in
creating the error log file only if the log location matches
a pattern (/var/log/mysql*.log
for RPM
platforms, /var/log/mysql/*.log
for
Debian platforms). In other cases, the error log directory
must be writable or the error log must be present and
writable for the user running the mysqld
process.
To add or change systemd options for MySQL, these methods are available:
Use a localized systemd configuration file.
Arrange for systemd to set environment variables for the MySQL server process.
Set the MYSQLD_OPTS
systemd variable.
To use a localized systemd configuration file, create the
/etc/systemd/system/mysqld.service.d
directory if it does not exist. In that directory, create a file
that contains a [Service]
section listing the
desired settings. For example:
[Service] LimitNOFILE=max_open_files
PIDFile=/path/to/pid/file
Nice=nice_level
LimitCore=core_file_limit
Environment="LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/malloc/library
" Environment="TZ=time_zone_setting
"
The discussion here uses override.conf
as
the name of this file. Newer versions of systemd support the
following command, which opens an editor and permits you to edit
the file:
systemctl edit mysqld # RPM platforms systemctl edit mysql # Debian platforms
Whenever you create or change
override.conf
, reload the systemd
configuration, then tell systemd to restart the MySQL service:
systemctl daemon-reload systemctl restart mysqld # RPM platforms systemctl restart mysql # Debian platforms
With systemd, the override.conf
configuration method must be used for certain parameters, rather
than settings in a [mysqld]
or
[mysqld_safe]
group in a MySQL option file:
For some parameters, override.conf
must
be used because systemd itself must know their values and it
cannot read MySQL option files to get them.
Parameters that specify values otherwise settable only using options known to mysqld_safe must be specified using systemd because there is no corresponding mysqld parameter.
For additional information about using systemd rather than mysqld_safe, see Migrating from mysqld_safe to systemd.
You can set the following parameters in
override.conf
:
To specify the process ID file, use
override.conf
and change both
PIDFile
and ExecStart
to name the PID file path name. Any setting of the process
ID file in MySQL option files is ignored. To modify
ExecStart
, it must first be cleared. For
example:
[Service] PIDFile=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld-custom.pid ExecStart= ExecStart=/usr/sbin/mysqld --daemonize --pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld-custom.pid $MYSQLD_OPTS
To set the number of file descriptors available to the MySQL
server, use LimitNOFILE
in
override.conf
rather than the
--open-files-limit
option for
mysqld or mysqld_safe.
To set the maximum core file size, use
LimitCore
in
override.conf
rather than the
--core-file-size
option
for mysqld_safe.
To set the scheduling priority for the MySQL server, use
Nice
in
override.conf
rather than the
--nice
option for
mysqld_safe.
Some MySQL parameters are configured using environment variables:
LD_PRELOAD
: Set this variable if the
MySQL server should use a specific memory-allocation
library.
NOTIFY_SOCKET
: This environment variable
specifies the socket that mysqld uses to
communicate notification of startup completion and service
status change with systemd. It is set by systemd when the
mysqld service is started. The
mysqld service reads the variable setting
and writes to the defined location. If the variable is not
set, mysqld writes nothing.
TZ
: Set this variable to specify the
default time zone for the server.
There are multiple ways to specify environment variable values for use by the MySQL server process managed by systemd:
Use Environment
lines in the
override.conf
file. For the syntax, see
the example in the preceding discussion that describes how
to use this file.
Specify the values in the
/etc/sysconfig/mysql
file (create the
file if it does not exist). Assign values using the
following syntax:
LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/malloc/library
TZ=time_zone_setting
After modifying /etc/sysconfig/mysql
,
restart the server to make the changes effective:
systemctl restart mysqld # RPM platforms systemctl restart mysql # Debian platforms
To specify options for mysqld without
modifying systemd configuration files directly, set or unset the
MYSQLD_OPTS
systemd variable. For example:
systemctl set-environment MYSQLD_OPTS="--general_log=1" systemctl unset-environment MYSQLD_OPTS
MYSQLD_OPTS
can also be set in the
/etc/sysconfig/mysql
file.
After modifying the systemd environment, restart the server to make the changes effective:
systemctl restart mysqld # RPM platforms systemctl restart mysql # Debian platforms
For platforms that use systemd, the data directory is
initialized if empty at server startup. This might be a problem
if the data directory is a remote mount that has temporarily
disappeared: The mount point would appear to be an empty data
directory, which then would be initialized as a new data
directory. To suppress this automatic initialization behavior,
specify the following line in the
/etc/sysconfig/mysql
file (create the file
if it does not exist):
NO_INIT=true
This section describes how to configure systemd for multiple instances of MySQL.
Because systemd has the capability of managing multiple MySQL instances on platforms for which systemd support is installed, mysqld_multi and mysqld_multi.server are unnecessary and are not installed.
To use multiple-instance capability, modify the
my.cnf
option file to include configuration
of key options for each instance. These file locations are
typical:
/etc/my.cnf
or
/etc/mysql/my.cnf
(RPM platforms)
/etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf
(Debian platforms)
For example, to manage two instances named
replica01
and replica02
,
add something like this to the option file:
RPM platforms:
[mysqld@replica01] datadir=/var/lib/mysql-replica01 socket=/var/lib/mysql-replica01/mysql.sock port=3307 log-error=/var/log/mysqld-replica01.log [mysqld@replica02] datadir=/var/lib/mysql-replica02 socket=/var/lib/mysql-replica02/mysql.sock port=3308 log-error=/var/log/mysqld-replica02.log
Debian platforms:
[mysqld@replica01] datadir=/var/lib/mysql-replica01 socket=/var/lib/mysql-replica01/mysql.sock port=3307 log-error=/var/log/mysql/replica01.log [mysqld@replica02] datadir=/var/lib/mysql-replica02 socket=/var/lib/mysql-replica02/mysql.sock port=3308 log-error=/var/log/mysql/replica02.log
The replica names shown here use @
as the
delimiter because that is the only delimiter supported by
systemd.
Instances then are managed by normal systemd commands, such as:
systemctl start mysqld@replica01 systemctl start mysqld@replica02
To enable instances to run at boot time, do this:
systemctl enable mysqld@replica01 systemctl enable mysqld@replica02
Use of wildcards is also supported. For example, this command displays the status of all replica instances:
systemctl status 'mysqld@replica*'
For management of multiple MySQL instances on the same machine, systemd automatically uses a different unit file:
mysqld@.service
rather than
mysqld.service
(RPM platforms)
mysql@.service
rather than
mysql.service
(Debian platforms)
In the unit file, %I
and
%i
reference the parameter passed in after
the @
marker and are used to manage the
specific instance. For a command such as this:
systemctl start mysqld@replica01
systemd starts the server using a command such as this:
mysqld --defaults-group-suffix=@%I ...
The result is that the [server]
,
[mysqld]
, and
[mysqld@replica01]
option groups are read and
used for that instance of the service.
On Debian platforms, AppArmor prevents the server from reading
or writing /var/lib/mysql-replica*
, or
anything other than the default locations. To address this,
you must customize or disable the profile in
/etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld
.
On Debian platforms, the packaging scripts for MySQL
uninstallation cannot currently handle
mysqld@
instances. Before removing or
upgrading the package, you must stop any extra instances
manually first.
Because mysqld_safe is not installed on
platforms that use systemd to manage MySQL, options previously
specified for that program (for example, in an
[mysqld_safe]
option group) must be specified
another way:
Some mysqld_safe options are also
understood by mysqld and can be moved
from the [mysqld_safe]
option group to
the [mysqld]
group. This does
not include
--pid-file
,
--open-files-limit
, or
--nice
. To specify those
options, use the override.conf
systemd
file, described previously.
For some mysqld_safe options, there are
alternative mysqld procedures. For
example, the mysqld_safe option for
enabling syslog
logging is
--syslog
, which is
deprecated. To write error log output to the system log, use
the instructions at Section 5.4.2.3, “Error Logging to the System Log”.
mysqld_safe options not understood by
mysqld can be specified in
override.conf
or environment variables.
For example, with mysqld_safe, if the
server should use a specific memory allocation library, this
is specified using the
--malloc-lib
option. For
installations that manage the server with systemd, arrange
to set the LD_PRELOAD
environment
variable instead, as described previously.
Linux supports a number of different solutions for installing MySQL, covered in Section 2.5, “Installing MySQL on Linux”. One of the methods, covered in this section, is installing from Oracle's Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN). You can find information about Oracle Linux and ULN under http://linux.oracle.com/.
To use ULN, you need to obtain a ULN login and register the machine used for installation with ULN. This is described in detail in the ULN FAQ. The page also describes how to install and update packages.The MySQL packages are in the “MySQL for Oracle Linux 6” and “MySQL for Oracle Linux 7” channels for your system architecture on ULN.
At the time of this writing, ULN provides MySQL 8.0 for Oracle Linux 6 and Oracle Linux 7.
Once MySQL has been installed using ULN, you can find information on starting and stopping the server, and more, in this section, particularly under Section 2.5.4, “Installing MySQL on Linux Using RPM Packages from Oracle”.
If you're updating an existing MySQL installation to an installation using ULN, the recommended procedure is to export your data using mysqldump, remove the existing installation, install MySQL from ULN, and load the exported data into your freshly installed MySQL.
If the existing MySQL installation you're upgrading from is from a previous release series (prior to MySQL 8.0), make sure to read the section on upgrading MySQL, Section 2.10.1, “Upgrading MySQL”.
This section provides information about installing MySQL on variants of FreeBSD Unix.
You can install MySQL on FreeBSD by using the binary distribution provided by Oracle. For more information, see Section 2.2, “Installing MySQL on Unix/Linux Using Generic Binaries”.
The easiest (and preferred) way to install MySQL is to use the
mysql-server and mysql-client
ports available at http://www.freebsd.org/. Using
these ports gives you the following benefits:
A working MySQL with all optimizations enabled that are known to work on your version of FreeBSD.
Automatic configuration and build.
Startup scripts installed in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d
.
The ability to use pkg_info -L
to see which
files are installed.
The ability to use pkg_delete
to remove MySQL
if you no longer want it on your machine.
The MySQL build process requires GNU make (gmake) to work. If GNU make is not available, you must install it first before compiling MySQL.
To install using the ports system:
# cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql80-server # make ... # cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql80-client # make ...
The standard port installation places the server into
/usr/local/libexec/mysqld
, with the startup
script for the MySQL server placed in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server
.
Some additional notes on the BSD implementation:
To remove MySQL after installation using the ports system:
# cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql80-server # make deinstall ... # cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql80-client # make deinstall ...
If you get problems with the current date in MySQL, setting the
TZ
variable should help. See
Section 4.9, “MySQL Program Environment Variables”.
Building MySQL from the source code enables you to customize build parameters, compiler optimizations, and installation location. For a list of systems on which MySQL is known to run, see http://www.mysql.com/support/supportedplatforms/database.html.
Before you proceed with an installation from source, check whether Oracle produces a precompiled binary distribution for your platform and whether it works for you. We put a great deal of effort into ensuring that our binaries are built with the best possible options for optimal performance. Instructions for installing binary distributions are available in Section 2.2, “Installing MySQL on Unix/Linux Using Generic Binaries”.
Building MySQL with nonstandard options may lead to reduced functionality, performance, or security.
The MySQL source code contains internal documentation written using Doxygen. The generated Doxygen content is available at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/mysql-server/latest/. It is also possible to generate this content locally from a MySQL source distribution using the instructions at Section 2.8.7, “Generating MySQL Doxygen Documentation Content”.
There are two methods for installing MySQL from source:
Use a standard MySQL source distribution. To obtain a standard distribution, see Section 2.1.2, “How to Get MySQL”. For instructions on building from a standard distribution, see Section 2.8.2, “Installing MySQL Using a Standard Source Distribution”.
Standard distributions are available as compressed
tar files, Zip archives, or RPM packages.
Distribution files have names of the form
mysql-
,
VERSION
.tar.gzmysql-
,
or
VERSION
.zipmysql-
,
where VERSION
.rpmVERSION
is a number like
8.0.13
. File names for source
distributions can be distinguished from those for precompiled
binary distributions in that source distribution names are
generic and include no platform name, whereas binary
distribution names include a platform name indicating the type
of system for which the distribution is intended (for example,
pc-linux-i686
or winx64
).
Use a MySQL development tree. For information on building from one of the development trees, see Section 2.8.3, “Installing MySQL Using a Development Source Tree”.
Installation of MySQL from source requires several development tools. Some of these tools are needed no matter whether you use a standard source distribution or a development source tree. Other tool requirements depend on which installation method you use.
To install MySQL from source, the following system requirements must be satisfied, regardless of installation method:
CMake, which is used as the build framework on all platforms. CMake can be downloaded from http://www.cmake.org.
A good make program. Although some platforms come with their own make implementations, it is highly recommended that you use GNU make 3.75 or higher. It may already be available on your system as gmake. GNU make is available from http://www.gnu.org/software/make/.
MySQL 8.0 source code permits use of C++11 features. To enable a good level of C++11 support across all supported platforms, the following minimum compiler versions apply:
GCC: 4.8 or higher
Clang: 3.4 or higher (Xcode 7 on macOS)
Solaris Studio: 12.4 or higher (Solaris client build only)
Visual Studio: 2015
CMake: On Windows, the required Visual Studio version results in a required CMake version of 3.2.3 or higher
The MySQL C API requires a C++ or C99 compiler to compile.
The Boost C++ libraries are required to build MySQL (but not to
use it). The current version of Boost must be installed. To
obtain Boost and its installation instructions, visit
the official site.
After Boost is installed, tell the build system where the Boost
files are located by defining the
WITH_BOOST
option when you invoke
CMake. For example:
shell> cmake . -DWITH_BOOST=/usr/local/boost_version_number
Adjust the path as necessary to match your installation.
The ncurses library.
Sufficient free memory. If you encounter problems such as “internal compiler error” when compiling large source files, it may be that you have too little memory. If compiling on a virtual machine, try increasing the memory allocation.
Perl is needed if you intend to run test scripts. Most Unix-like systems include Perl. On Windows, you can use a version such as ActiveState Perl.
To install MySQL from a standard source distribution, one of the following tools is required to unpack the distribution file:
For a .tar.gz
compressed
tar file: GNU gunzip
to
uncompress the distribution and a reasonable
tar to unpack it. If your
tar program supports the z
option, it can both uncompress and unpack the file.
GNU tar is known to work. The standard
tar provided with some operating systems is
not able to unpack the long file names in the MySQL
distribution. You should download and install GNU
tar, or if available, use a preinstalled
version of GNU tar. Usually this is available as
gnutar, gtar, or as
tar within a GNU or Free Software directory,
such as /usr/sfw/bin
or
/usr/local/bin
. GNU tar
is available from
http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/.
For a .zip
Zip archive:
WinZip or another tool that can read
.zip
files.
For an .rpm
RPM package: The
rpmbuild program used to build the
distribution unpacks it.
To install MySQL from a development source tree, the following additional tools are required:
The Git revision control system is required to obtain the development source code. The GitHub Help provides instructions for downloading and installing Git on different platforms. MySQL officially joined GitHub in September, 2014. For more information about MySQL's move to GitHub, refer to the announcement on the MySQL Release Engineering blog: MySQL on GitHub
bison 2.1 or higher, available from http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/. (Version 1 is no longer supported.) Use the latest version of bison where possible; if you experience problems, upgrade to a later version, rather than revert to an earlier one.
bison is available from
http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/.
bison
for Windows can be downloaded from
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/bison.htm.
Download the package labeled “Complete package, excluding
sources”. On Windows, the default location for
bison is the C:\Program
Files\GnuWin32
directory. Some utilities may fail to
find bison because of the space in the
directory name. Also, Visual Studio may simply hang if there are
spaces in the path. You can resolve these problems by installing
into a directory that does not contain a space; for example
C:\GnuWin32
.
On Solaris Express, m4 must be installed in addition to bison. m4 is available from http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/.
If you have to install any programs, modify your
PATH
environment variable to include any
directories in which the programs are located. See
Section 4.2.10, “Setting Environment Variables”.
If you run into problems and need to file a bug report, please use the instructions in Section 1.7, “How to Report Bugs or Problems”.
By default, when you install MySQL after compiling it from source,
the installation step installs files under
/usr/local/mysql
. The component locations
under the installation directory are the same as for binary
distributions. See Table 2.3, “MySQL Installation Layout for Generic Unix/Linux Binary Package”,
and Section 2.3.1, “MySQL Installation Layout on Microsoft Windows”. To configure
installation locations different from the defaults, use the
options described at
Section 2.8.4, “MySQL Source-Configuration Options”.
To install MySQL from a standard source distribution:
Verify that your system satisfies the tool requirements listed at Section 2.8, “Installing MySQL from Source”.
Obtain a distribution file using the instructions in Section 2.1.2, “How to Get MySQL”.
Configure, build, and install the distribution using the instructions in this section.
Perform postinstallation procedures using the instructions in Section 2.9, “Postinstallation Setup and Testing”.
In MySQL 8.0, CMake is used as the build framework on all platforms. The instructions given here should enable you to produce a working installation. For additional information on using CMake to build MySQL, see How to Build MySQL Server with CMake.
If you start from a source RPM, use the following command to make a binary RPM that you can install. If you do not have rpmbuild, use rpm instead.
shell> rpmbuild --rebuild --clean MySQL-VERSION
.src.rpm
The result is one or more binary RPM packages that you install as indicated in Section 2.5.4, “Installing MySQL on Linux Using RPM Packages from Oracle”.
The sequence for installation from a compressed tar file or Zip archive source distribution is similar to the process for installing from a generic binary distribution (see Section 2.2, “Installing MySQL on Unix/Linux Using Generic Binaries”), except that it is used on all platforms and includes steps to configure and compile the distribution. For example, with a compressed tar file source distribution on Unix, the basic installation command sequence looks like this:
# Preconfiguration setup shell>groupadd mysql
shell>useradd -r -g mysql -s /bin/false mysql
# Beginning of source-build specific instructions shell>tar zxvf mysql-
shell>VERSION
.tar.gzcd mysql-
shell>VERSION
mkdir bld
shell>cd bld
shell>cmake ..
shell>make
shell>make install
# End of source-build specific instructions # Postinstallation setup shell>cd /usr/local/mysql
shell>mkdir mysql-files
shell>chown mysql:mysql mysql-files
shell>chmod 750 mysql-files
shell>bin/mysqld --initialize --user=mysql
shell>bin/mysql_ssl_rsa_setup
shell>bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &
# Next command is optional shell>cp support-files/mysql.server /etc/init.d/mysql.server
A more detailed version of the source-build specific instructions is shown following.
The procedure shown here does not set up any passwords for MySQL accounts. After following the procedure, proceed to Section 2.9, “Postinstallation Setup and Testing”, for postinstallation setup and testing.
On Unix, set up the mysql
user and group that
will be used to run and execute the MySQL server and own the
database directory. For details, see
Creating a
mysql
System User and Group, in
Section 2.2, “Installing MySQL on Unix/Linux Using Generic Binaries”. Then perform the following
steps as the mysql
user, except as noted.
Pick the directory under which you want to unpack the distribution and change location into it.
Obtain a distribution file using the instructions in Section 2.1.2, “How to Get MySQL”.
Unpack the distribution into the current directory:
To unpack a compressed tar file,
tar can uncompress and unpack the
distribution if it has z
option support:
shell> tar zxvf mysql-VERSION
.tar.gz
If your tar does not have
z
option support, use
gunzip to unpack the distribution and
tar to unpack it:
shell> gunzip < mysql-VERSION
.tar.gz | tar xvf -
Alternatively, CMake can uncompress and unpack the distribution:
shell> cmake -E tar zxvf mysql-VERSION
.tar.gz
To unpack a Zip archive, use WinZip or
another tool that can read .zip
files.
Unpacking the distribution file creates a directory named
mysql-
.
VERSION
Change location into the top-level directory of the unpacked distribution:
shell> cd mysql-VERSION
Build outside of the source tree to keep the tree clean. If the
top-level source directory is named mysql-src
under your current working directory, you can build in a directory
named bld
at the same level. Create the
directory and go there:
shell>mkdir bld
shell>cd bld
Configure the build directory. The minimum configuration command includes no options to override configuration defaults:
shell> cmake ../mysql-src
The build directory needs not be outside the source tree.
For example, you can build in a directory named
bld
under the top-level source tree. To do
this, starting with mysql-src
as your current
working directory, create the directory bld
and then go there:
shell>mkdir bld
shell>cd bld
Configure the build directory. The minimum configuration command includes no options to override configuration defaults:
shell> cmake ..
If you have multiple source trees at the same level (for example, to build multiple versions of MySQL), the second strategy can be advantageous. The first strategy places all build directories at the same level, which requires that you choose a unique name for each. With the second strategy, you can use the same name for the build directory within each source tree. The following instructions assume this second strategy.
On Windows, specify the development environment. For example, the following commands configure MySQL for 32-bit or 64-bit builds, respectively:
shell>cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 12 2013"
shell>cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 12 2013 Win64"
On macOS, to use the Xcode IDE:
shell> cmake .. -G Xcode
When you run cmake, you might want to add options to the command line. Here are some examples:
-DBUILD_CONFIG=mysql_release
:
Configure the source with the same build options used by
Oracle to produce binary distributions for official MySQL
releases.
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=
:
Configure the distribution for installation under a particular
location.
dir_name
-DCPACK_MONOLITHIC_INSTALL=1
:
Cause make package to generate a single
installation file rather than multiple files.
-DWITH_DEBUG=1
: Build the
distribution with debugging support.
For a more extensive list of options, see Section 2.8.4, “MySQL Source-Configuration Options”.
To list the configuration options, use one of the following commands:
shell>cmake .. -L
# overview shell>cmake .. -LH
# overview with help text shell>cmake .. -LAH
# all params with help text shell>ccmake ..
# interactive display
If CMake fails, you might need to reconfigure by running it again with different options. If you do reconfigure, take note of the following:
If CMake is run after it has previously
been run, it may use information that was gathered during its
previous invocation. This information is stored in
CMakeCache.txt
. When
CMake starts up, it looks for that file and
reads its contents if it exists, on the assumption that the
information is still correct. That assumption is invalid when
you reconfigure.
Each time you run CMake, you must run make again to recompile. However, you may want to remove old object files from previous builds first because they were compiled using different configuration options.
To prevent old object files or configuration information from being used, run these commands in the build direcotry on Unix before re-running CMake:
shell>make clean
shell>rm CMakeCache.txt
Or, on Windows:
shell>devenv MySQL.sln /clean
shell>del CMakeCache.txt
If you are going to send mail to a MySQL mailing list to ask for
configuration assistance, first check the files in the
CMakeFiles
directory for useful information
about the failure. To file a bug report, please use the
instructions in Section 1.7, “How to Report Bugs or Problems”.
On Unix:
shell>make
shell>make VERBOSE=1
The second command sets VERBOSE
to show the
commands for each compiled source.
Use gmake instead on systems where you are using GNU make and it has been installed as gmake.
On Windows:
shell> devenv MySQL.sln /build RelWithDebInfo
If you have gotten to the compilation stage, but the distribution
does not build, see Section 2.8.5, “Dealing with Problems Compiling MySQL”, for
help. If that does not solve the problem, please enter it into our
bugs database using the instructions given in
Section 1.7, “How to Report Bugs or Problems”. If you have installed the latest
versions of the required tools, and they crash trying to process
our configuration files, please report that also. However, if you
get a command not found
error or a similar
problem for required tools, do not report it. Instead, make sure
that all the required tools are installed and that your
PATH
variable is set correctly so that your
shell can find them.
On Unix:
shell> make install
This installs the files under the configured installation
directory (by default, /usr/local/mysql
). You
might need to run the command as root
.
To install in a specific directory, add a
DESTDIR
parameter to the command line:
shell> make install DESTDIR="/opt/mysql"
Alternatively, generate installation package files that you can install where you like:
shell> make package
This operation produces one or more .tar.gz
files that can be installed like generic binary distribution
packages. See Section 2.2, “Installing MySQL on Unix/Linux Using Generic Binaries”. If you run
CMake with
-DCPACK_MONOLITHIC_INSTALL=1
, the
operation produces a single file. Otherwise, it produces multiple
files.
On Windows, generate the data directory, then create a
.zip
archive installation package:
shell>devenv MySQL.sln /build RelWithDebInfo /project initial_database
shell>devenv MySQL.sln /build RelWithDebInfo /project package
You can install the resulting .zip
archive
where you like. See Section 2.3.5, “Installing MySQL on Microsoft Windows Using a
noinstall
ZIP Archive”.
The remainder of the installation process involves setting up the configuration file, creating the core databases, and starting the MySQL server. For instructions, see Section 2.9, “Postinstallation Setup and Testing”.
The accounts that are listed in the MySQL grant tables initially have no passwords. After starting the server, you should set up passwords for them using the instructions in Section 2.9, “Postinstallation Setup and Testing”.
This section describes how to install MySQL from the latest development source code, which is hosted on GitHub. To obtain the MySQL Server source code from this repository hosting service, you can set up a local MySQL Git repository.
On GitHub, MySQL Server and other MySQL projects are found on the MySQL page. The MySQL Server project is a single repository that contains branches for several MySQL series.
MySQL officially joined GitHub in September, 2014. For more information about MySQL's move to GitHub, refer to the announcement on the MySQL Release Engineering blog: MySQL on GitHub
To install MySQL from a development source tree, your system must satisfy the tool requirements outlined in Section 2.8, “Installing MySQL from Source”.
To set up a MySQL Git repository on your machine, use this procedure:
Clone the MySQL Git repository to your machine. The
following command clones the MySQL Git repository to a
directory named mysql-server
. The
initial download will take some time to complete, depending
on the speed of your connection.
~$ git clone https://github.com/mysql/mysql-server.git Cloning into 'mysql-server'... remote: Counting objects: 1198513, done. remote: Total 1198513 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 1198513 Receiving objects: 100% (1198513/1198513), 1.01 GiB | 7.44 MiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (993200/993200), done. Checking connectivity... done. Checking out files: 100% (25510/25510), done.
When the clone operation completes, the contents of your local MySQL Git repository appear similar to the following:
~$ cd mysql-server ~/mysql-server$ ls BUILD cmd-line-utils libservices sql CMakeLists.txt config.h.cmake man sql-common COPYING configure.cmake mysql-test storage Docs dbug mysys strings Doxyfile-perfschema extra mysys_ssl support-files INSTALL include packaging testclients README libbinlogevents plugin unittest VERSION libbinlogstandalone rapid vio client libevent regex win cmake libmysql scripts zlib
Use the git branch -r command to view the remote tracking branches for the MySQL repository.
~/mysql-server$ git branch -r origin/5.5 origin/5.6 origin/5.7 origin/8.0 origin/HEAD -> origin/5.7 origin/cluster-7.2 origin/cluster-7.3 origin/cluster-7.4 origin/cluster-7.5
To view the branches that are checked out in your local repository, issue the git branch command. When you cloned the MySQL Git repository, the MySQL 5.7 branch was checked out automatically. The asterisk identifies the 5.7 branch as the active branch.
~/mysql-server$ git branch * 5.7
To check out a different MySQL branch, run the git checkout command, specifying the branch name. For example, to check out the MySQL 8.0 branch:
~/mysql-server$ git checkout 8.0 Checking out files: 100% (9600/9600), done. Branch 8.0 set up to track remote branch 8.0 from origin. Switched to a new branch '8.0'
Run git branch
to verify that the MySQL
8.0 branch is present. MySQL 8.0, which is the last branch
you checked out, is marked by an asterisk indicating that it
is the active branch.
~/mysql-server$ git branch 5.7 * 8.0
Use the git checkout command to switch between branches. For example:
~/mysql-server$ git checkout 5.7
To obtain changes made after your initial setup of the MySQL
Git repository, switch to the branch you want to update and
issue the git pull
command:
~/mysql-server$ git checkout 8.0 ~/mysql-server$ git pull
To examine the commit history, use the git
log
option:
~/mysql-server$ git log
You can also browse commit history and source code on the GitHub MySQL site.
If you see changes or code that you have a question about,
send an email to the MySQL internals
mailing list. See Section 1.6.2, “MySQL Mailing Lists”. For
information about contributing a patch, see
Contributing
to MySQL Server.
After you have cloned the MySQL Git repository and have checked out the branch you want to build, you can build MySQL Server from the source code. Instructions are provided in Section 2.8.2, “Installing MySQL Using a Standard Source Distribution”, except that you skip the part about obtaining and unpacking the distribution.
Be careful about installing a build from a distribution
source tree on a production machine. The installation
command may overwrite your live release installation. If you
already have MySQL installed and do not want to overwrite
it, run CMake with values for the
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
,
MYSQL_TCP_PORT
, and
MYSQL_UNIX_ADDR
options
different from those used by your production server. For
additional information about preventing multiple servers
from interfering with each other, see
Section 5.7, “Running Multiple MySQL Instances on One Machine”.
Play hard with your new installation. For example, try to make new features crash. Start by running make test. See Section 28.1.2, “The MySQL Test Suite”.
The CMake program provides a great deal of control over how you configure a MySQL source distribution. Typically, you do this using options on the CMake command line. For information about options supported by CMake, run either of these commands in the top-level source directory:
shell>cmake . -LH
shell>ccmake .
You can also affect CMake using certain environment variables. See Section 4.9, “MySQL Program Environment Variables”.
The following table shows the available CMake
options. In the Default
column,
PREFIX
stands for the value of the
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
option, which
specifies the installation base directory. This value is used as
the parent location for several of the installation
subdirectories.

The following sections provide more information about CMake options.
For boolean options, the value may be specified as 1 or
ON
to enable the option, or as 0 or
OFF
to disable the option.
Many options configure compile-time defaults that can be
overridden at server startup. For example, the
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
,
MYSQL_TCP_PORT
, and
MYSQL_UNIX_ADDR
options that
configure the default installation base directory location, TCP/IP
port number, and Unix socket file can be changed at server startup
with the --basedir
,
--port
, and
--socket
options for
mysqld. Where applicable, configuration option
descriptions indicate the corresponding mysqld
startup option.
This option configures a source distribution with the same build options used by Oracle to produce binary distributions for official MySQL releases.
-DBUNDLE_RUNTIME_LIBRARIES=
bool
Whether to bundle runtime libraries with server MSI and Zip packages for Windows.
The type of build to produce:
RelWithDebInfo
: Enable optimizations
and generate debugging information. This is the default
MySQL build type.
Debug
: Disable optimizations and
generate debugging information. This build type is also
used if the WITH_DEBUG
option is enabled. That is,
-DWITH_DEBUG=1
has the same
effect as
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
.
-DCPACK_MONOLITHIC_INSTALL=
bool
This option affects whether the make package operation produces multiple installation package files or a single file. If disabled, the operation produces multiple installation package files, which may be useful if you want to install only a subset of a full MySQL installation. If enabled, it produces a single file for installing everything.
The CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
option
indicates the base installation directory. Other options with
names of the form
INSTALL_
that
indicate component locations are interpreted relative to the
prefix and their values are relative pathnames. Their values
should not include the prefix.
xxx
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=
dir_name
The installation base directory.
This value can be set at server startup with the
--basedir
option.
Where to install user programs.
Where to install documentation.
-DINSTALL_DOCREADMEDIR=
dir_name
Where to install README
files.
Where to install header files.
Where to install Info files.
Select a predefined installation layout:
STANDALONE
: Same layout as used for
.tar.gz
and .zip
packages. This is the default.
RPM
: Layout similar to RPM packages.
SVR4
: Solaris package layout.
DEB
: DEB package layout (experimental).
You can select a predefined layout but modify individual component installation locations by specifying other options. For example:
shell> cmake . -DINSTALL_LAYOUT=SVR4 -DMYSQL_DATADIR=/var/mysql/data
The INSTALL_LAYOUT
value
determines the default value of the
secure_file_priv
,
keyring_encrypted_file_data
,
and keyring_file_data
system
variables. See the descriptions of those variables in
Section 5.1.7, “Server System Variables”, and
Section 6.5.4.11, “Keyring System Variables”.
Where to install library files.
Where to install manual pages.
-DINSTALL_MYSQLKEYRINGDIR=
dir_path
The default directory to use as the location of the
keyring_file
plugin data file. The default
value is platform specific and depends on the value of the
INSTALL_LAYOUT
CMake option; see the description of the
keyring_file_data
system
variable in Section 5.1.7, “Server System Variables”.
-DINSTALL_MYSQLSHAREDIR=
dir_name
Where to install shared data files.
-DINSTALL_MYSQLTESTDIR=
dir_name
Where to install the mysql-test
directory. To suppress installation of this directory,
explicitly set the option to the empty value
(-DINSTALL_MYSQLTESTDIR=
).
-DINSTALL_PKGCONFIGDIR=
dir_name
The directory in which to install the
mysqlclient.pc
file for use by
pkg-config. The default value is
INSTALL_LIBDIR/pkgconfig
, unless
INSTALL_LIBDIR
ends with
/mysql
, in which case that is removed
first.
The location of the plugin directory.
This value can be set at server startup with the
--plugin_dir
option.
Where to install the mysqld server.
-DINSTALL_SECURE_FILE_PRIVDIR=
dir_name
The default value for the
secure_file_priv
system
variable. The default value is platform specific and depends
on the value of the
INSTALL_LAYOUT
CMake option; see the description of the
secure_file_priv
system
variable in Section 5.1.7, “Server System Variables”.
Where to install aclocal/mysql.m4
.
-DINSTALL_STATIC_LIBRARIES=
bool
Whether to install static libraries. The default is
ON
. If set to OFF
, these
libraries are not installed:
libmysqlclient.a
,
libmysqlservices.a
.
-DINSTALL_SUPPORTFILESDIR=
dir_name
Where to install extra support files.
Whether to randomize the order of symbols in the
mysqld binary. The default is
OFF
. This option should be enabled only for
debugging purposes.
Seed value for the
LINK_RANDOMIZE
option. The value
is a string. The default is mysql
, an
arbitrary choice.
The location of the MySQL data directory.
This value can be set at server startup with the
--datadir
option.
The location of the ODBC includes directory, and may be used while configuring Connector/ODBC.
The location of the ODBC library directory, and may be used while configuring Connector/ODBC.
The default my.cnf
option file directory.
This location cannot be set at server startup, but you can
start the server with a given option file using the
--defaults-file=
option, where file_name
file_name
is the full
path name to the file.
The name of the directory in which to create the PID file when
MySQL is managed by systemd. The default is
/var/run/mysqld
; this might be changed
implicitly according to the
INSTALL_LAYOUT
value.
This option is ignored unless
WITH_SYSTEMD
is enabled.
The name of the MySQL service to use when MySQL is managed by
systemd. The default is mysqld
; this might
be changed implicitly according to the
INSTALL_LAYOUT
value.
This option is ignored unless
WITH_SYSTEMD
is enabled.
The default location to use for the
tmpdir
system variable. If
unspecified, the value defaults to P_tmpdir
in <stdio.h>
.
Storage engines are built as plugins. You can build a plugin as a
static module (compiled into the server) or a dynamic module
(built as a dynamic library that must be installed into the server
using the INSTALL PLUGIN
statement
or the --plugin-load
option before
it can be used). Some plugins might not support static or dynamic
building.
The InnoDB
,
MyISAM
,
MERGE
,
MEMORY
, and
CSV
engines are mandatory (always
compiled into the server) and need not be installed explicitly.
To compile a storage engine statically into the server, use
-DWITH_
.
Some permissible engine
_STORAGE_ENGINE=1engine
values are
ARCHIVE
, BLACKHOLE
,
EXAMPLE
, and FEDERATED
.
Examples:
-DWITH_ARCHIVE_STORAGE_ENGINE=1 -DWITH_BLACKHOLE_STORAGE_ENGINE=1
It is not possible to compile without Performance Schema support. If it is desired to compile without particular types of instrumentation, that can be done with the following CMake options:
DISABLE_PSI_COND DISABLE_PSI_DATA_LOCK DISABLE_PSI_ERROR DISABLE_PSI_FILE DISABLE_PSI_IDLE DISABLE_PSI_MEMORY DISABLE_PSI_METADATA DISABLE_PSI_MUTEX DISABLE_PSI_PS DISABLE_PSI_RWLOCK DISABLE_PSI_SOCKET DISABLE_PSI_SP DISABLE_PSI_STAGE DISABLE_PSI_STATEMENT DISABLE_PSI_STATEMENT_DIGEST DISABLE_PSI_TABLE DISABLE_PSI_THREAD DISABLE_PSI_TRANSACTION
For example, to compile without mutex instrumentation, configure
MySQL using the -DDISABLE_PSI_MUTEX=1
option.
To exclude a storage engine from the build, use
-DWITH_
.
Examples:
engine
_STORAGE_ENGINE=0
-DWITH_ARCHIVE_STORAGE_ENGINE=0 -DWITH_EXAMPLE_STORAGE_ENGINE=0 -DWITH_FEDERATED_STORAGE_ENGINE=0
It is also possible to exclude a storage engine from the build
using
-DWITHOUT_
(but
engine
_STORAGE_ENGINE=1-DWITH_
is preferred). Examples:
engine
_STORAGE_ENGINE=0
-DWITHOUT_ARCHIVE_STORAGE_ENGINE=1 -DWITHOUT_EXAMPLE_STORAGE_ENGINE=1 -DWITHOUT_FEDERATED_STORAGE_ENGINE=1
If neither
-DWITH_
nor
engine
_STORAGE_ENGINE-DWITHOUT_
are specified for a given storage engine, the engine is built as a
shared module, or excluded if it cannot be built as a shared
module.
engine
_STORAGE_ENGINE
A descriptive comment about the compilation environment.
-DDEFAULT_CHARSET=
charset_name
The server character set. By default, MySQL uses the
utf8mb4
character set.
charset_name
may be one of
binary
, armscii8
,
ascii
, big5
,
cp1250
, cp1251

, utf32
. The
permissible character sets are listed in the
cmake/character_sets.cmake
file as the
value of CHARSETS_AVAILABLE
.
This value can be set at server startup with the
--character_set_server
option.
-DDEFAULT_COLLATION=
collation_name
The server collation. By default, MySQL uses
utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci
. Use the
SHOW COLLATION
statement to
determine which collations are available for each character
set.
This value can be set at server startup with the
--collation_server
option.
Whether to exclude the Performance Schema condition
instrumentation. The default is OFF
(include).
Whether to exclude the Performance Schema file
instrumentation. The default is OFF
(include).
Whether to exclude the Performance Schema idle
instrumentation. The default is OFF
(include).
Whether to exclude the Performance Schema memory
instrumentation. The default is OFF
(include).
Whether to exclude the Performance Schema metadata
instrumentation. The default is OFF
(include).
Whether to exclude the Performance Schema mutex
instrumentation. The default is OFF
(include).
Whether to exclude the Performance Schema rwlock
instrumentation. The default is OFF
(include).
Whether to exclude the Performance Schema socket
instrumentation. The default is OFF
(include).
Whether to exclude the Performance Schema stored program
instrumentation. The default is OFF
(include).
Whether to exclude the Performance Schema stage
instrumentation. The default is OFF
(include).
Whether to exclude the Performance Schema statement
instrumentation. The default is OFF
(include).
-DDISABLE_PSI_STATEMENT_DIGEST=
bool
Whether to exclude the Performance Schema statement_digest
instrumentation. The default is OFF
(include).
Whether to exclude the Performance Schema table
instrumentation. The default is OFF
(include).
Whether to disable building build shared libraries and compile
position-dependent code. The default is OFF
(compile position-independent code).
Enabling this option disables -fPIC
, with the
consequence that shared libraries are not built, including
plugins and components. Invoking CMake
produces this warning: Dynamic plugins are
disabled.
Exclude the performance schema prepared statements instances
instrumentation. The default is OFF
(include).
Exclude the performance schema thread instrumentation. The
default is OFF
(include).
Only disable threads when building without any instrumentation, because other instrumentations have a dependency on threads.
-DDISABLE_PSI_TRANSACTION=
bool
Exclude the performance schema transaction instrumentation.
The default is OFF
(include).
Exclude the performance schema data lock instrumentation. The
default is OFF
(include).
Exclude the performance schema server error instrumentation.
The default is OFF
(include).
Whether to download the Boost library. The default is
OFF
.
See the WITH_BOOST
option for
additional discussion about using Boost.
-DDOWNLOAD_BOOST_TIMEOUT=
seconds
The timeout in seconds for downloading the Boost library. The default is 600 seconds.
See the WITH_BOOST
option for
additional discussion about using Boost.
As of MySQL 8.0.1, ENABLE_DEBUG_SYNC
is
removed and enabling WITH_DEBUG
enables Debug Sync.
Whether to download optional files. For example, with this option enabled, CMake downloads the Google Test distribution that is used by the test suite to run unit tests, or Ant and JUnit required for building GCS Java wrapper.
Whether to include support for DTrace probes.
This option was removed in MySQL 8.0.1.
-DENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_SYSVARS=
bool
Whether to enable experimental InnoDB
system variables. Experimental system variables are intended
for those engaged in MySQL development, should only be used in
a development or test environment, and may be removed without
notice in a future MySQL release. For information about
experimental system variables, refer to
/storage/innobase/handler/ha_innodb.cc
in
the MySQL source tree. Experimental system variables can be
identified by searching for
“PLUGIN_VAR_EXPERIMENTAL”.
Whether to include gcov support (Linux only).
Whether to enable gprof
(optimized Linux
builds only).
This option controls the compiled-in default
LOCAL
capability for the MySQL client
library. Clients that make no explicit arrangements therefore
have LOCAL
capability disabled or enabled
according to the
ENABLED_LOCAL_INFILE
setting
specified at MySQL build time.
By default, the client library in MySQL binary distributions
is compiled with
ENABLED_LOCAL_INFILE
disabled.
If you compile MySQL from source, configure it with
ENABLED_LOCAL_INFILE
disabled or
enabled based on whether clients that make no explicit
arrangements should have LOCAL
capability
disabled or enabled, respectively.
ENABLED_LOCAL_INFILE
controls
the default for client-side LOCAL
capability. For the server, the
local_infile
system variable
controls server-side LOCAL
capability. To
explicitly cause the server to refuse or permit
LOAD DATA
LOCAL
statements (regardless of how client programs
and libraries are configured at build time or runtime), start
mysqld with
local_infile
disabled or
enabled, respectively.
local_infile
can also be set
at runtime. See Section 6.1.6, “Security Issues with LOAD DATA LOCAL”.
Whether to enable query profiling code (for the
SHOW PROFILE
and
SHOW PROFILES
statements).
-DFORCE_UNSUPPORTED_COMPILER=
bool
By default, CMake checks for minimum
versions of supported compilers: Visual Studio 2015 (Windows);
GCC 4.8 or Clang 3.4 (Linux); Developer Studio 12.5 (Solaris
server); Developer Studio 12.4 or GCC 4.8 (Solaris client
library); Clang 3.6 (macOS), Clang 3.4 (FreeBSD). To disable
this check, use
-DFORCE_UNSUPPORTED_COMPILER=ON
.
If the
-DBUILD_CONFIG=mysql_release
option is given on Linux, the libaio
library must be linked in by default. If you do not have
libaio
or do not want to install it, you
can suppress the check for it by specifying
-DIGNORE_AIO_CHECK=1
.
The maximum number of indexes per table. The default is 64. The maximum is 255. Values smaller than 64 are ignored and the default of 64 is used.
Whether to enable a MySQL maintainer-specific development environment. If enabled, this option causes compiler warnings to become errors.
The mutex type used by InnoDB
. Options
include:
event
: Use event mutexes. This is the
default value and the original InnoDB
mutex implementation.
sys
: Use POSIX mutexes on UNIX systems.
Use CRITICAL_SECTION
onjects on
Windows, if available.
futex
: Use Linux futexes instead of
condition variables to schedule waiting threads.
The port number on which X Plugin listens for TCP/IP connections. The default is 33060.
This value can be set at server startup with the
--mysqlx-port
option.
The Unix socket file path on which the server listens for
X Plugin socket connections. This must be an absolute
path name. The default is
/tmp/mysqlx.sock
.
This value can be set at server startup with the
--mysqlx-socket
option.
For Windows or macOS, the project name to incorporate into the project file name.
The port number on which the server listens for TCP/IP connections. The default is 3306.
This value can be set at server startup with the
--port
option.
The Unix socket file path on which the server listens for
socket connections. This must be an absolute path name. The
default is /tmp/mysql.sock
.
This value can be set at server startup with the
--socket
option.
Whether to support optimizer tracing. See MySQL Internals: Tracing the Optimizer.
For builds on Linux systems, this option controls whether to take extra care to create a build result independent of build location and time.
This option was added in MySQL 8.0.11. As of MySQL 8.0.12, it
defaults to ON
for
RelWithDebInfo
builds.
CMake causes the build process to link with
the GNU gold linker if it is available. To
suppress use of this linker, specify the
-DUSE_LD_GOLD=0
option.
Whether to disable function inlining on Windows. The default is off (inlining enabled).
Set the path to Ant, required when building GCS Java wrapper.
Works in a similar way to the existing
WITH_BOOST
CMake option. Set
WITH_ANT
to the path of a
directory where the Ant tarball, or an already unpacked
archive, is saved. When WITH_ANT
is not set, or is set with the special value
system
, the build assumes a binary
ant exists in $PATH
.
Whether to enable the AddressSanitizer, for compilers that support it. The default is off.
Whether to enable the AddressSanitizer
-fsanitize-address-use-after-scope
Clang
flag for use-after-scope detection. The default is off. To use
this option, -DWITH_ASAN
must
also be enabled.
-DWITH_AUTHENTICATION_LDAP=
bool
Whether to report an error if the LDAP authentication plugins cannot be built:
If this option is disabled (the default), the LDAP plugins are built if the required header files and libraries are found. If they are not, CMake displays a note about it.
If this option is enabled, a failure to find the required header file andlibraries causes CMake to produce an error, preventing the server from being built.
-DWITH_AUTHENTICATION_PAM=
bool
Whether to build the PAM authentication plugin, for source trees that include this plugin. (See Section 6.5.1.5, “PAM Pluggable Authentication”.) If this option is specified and the plugin cannot be compiled, the build fails.
The location of the Amazon Web Services software development kit.
The Boost library is required to build MySQL. These CMake options enable control over the library source location, and whether to download it automatically:
-DWITH_BOOST=
specifies the Boost library directory location. It is also
possible to specify the Boost location by setting the
path_name
BOOST_ROOT
or
WITH_BOOST
environment variable.
-DWITH_BOOST=system
is also
permitted and indicates that the correct version of Boost
is installed on the compilation host in the standard
location. In this case, the installed version of Boost is
used rather than any version included with a MySQL source
distribution.
-DDOWNLOAD_BOOST=
specifies whether to download the Boost source if it is
not present in the specified location. The default is
bool
OFF
.
-DDOWNLOAD_BOOST_TIMEOUT=
the timeout in seconds for downloading the Boost library.
The default is 600 seconds.
seconds
For example, if you normally build MySQL placing the object
output in the bld
subdirectory of your
MySQL source tree, you can build with Boost like this:
mkdir bld cd bld cmake .. -DDOWNLOAD_BOOST=ON -DWITH_BOOST=$HOME/my_boost
This causes Boost to be downloaded into the
my_boost
directory under your home
directory. If the required Boost version is already there, no
download is done. If the required Boost version changes, the
newer version is downloaded.
If Boost is already installed locally and your compiler finds the Boost header files on its own, it may not be necessary to specify the preceding CMake options. However, if the version of Boost required by MySQL changes and the locally installed version has not been upgraded, you may have build problems. Using the CMake options should give you a successful build.
With the above settings that allow Boost download into a
specified location, when the required Boost version changes,
you need to remove the bld
folder, recreate
it, and perform the cmake step again.
Otherwise, the new Boost version might not get downloaded, and
compilation might fail.
-DWITH_CLIENT_PROTOCOL_TRACING=
bool
Whether to build the client-side protocol tracing framework into the client library. By default, this option is enabled.
For information about writing protocol trace client plugins, see Section 28.2.4.11, “Writing Protocol Trace Plugins”.
See also the
WITH_TEST_TRACE_PLUGIN
option.
The location of the curl library.
curl_type
can be
system
(use the system
curl library) or a path name to the
curl library.
Whether to include debugging support.
Configuring MySQL with debugging support enables you to use
the --debug="d,parser_debug"
option when you start the server. This causes the Bison parser
that is used to process SQL statements to dump a parser trace
to the server's standard error output. Typically, this output
is written to the error log.
Sync debug checking for the InnoDB
storage
engine is defined under UNIV_DEBUG
and is
available when debugging support is compiled in using the
WITH_DEBUG
option. When
debugging support is compiled in, the
innodb_sync_debug
configuration option can be used to enable or disable
InnoDB
sync debug checking.
Enabling WITH_DEBUG
also enables
Debug Sync. This facility is used for testing and debugging.
When compiled in, Debug Sync is disabled by default at
runtime. To enable it, start mysqld with
the
--debug-sync-timeout=
option, where N
N
is a timeout value
greater than 0. (The default value is 0, which disables Debug
Sync.) N
becomes the default
timeout for individual synchronization points.
Sync debug checking for the InnoDB
storage
engine is available when debugging support is compiled in
using the WITH_DEBUG
option.
For a description of the Debug Sync facility and how to use synchronization points, see MySQL Internals: Test Synchronization.
-DWITH_DEFAULT_FEATURE_SET=
bool
Whether to use the flags from
cmake/build_configurations/feature_set.cmake
.
Which libedit
/editline
library to use. The permitted values are
bundled
(the default) and
system
.
-DWITH_ICU={
icu_type
|path_name
}
MySQL uses International Components for Unicode (ICU) to
support regular expression operations. The
WITH_ICU
option indicates the type of ICU
support to include or the path name to the ICU installation to
use.
icu_type
can be one of the
following values:
bundled
: Use the ICU library
bundled with the distribution. This is the default,
and is the only supported option for Windows.
system
: Use the system ICU library.
path_name
is the path name to
the ICU installation to use. This can be preferable to
using the icu_type
value of
system
because it can prevent CMake
from detecting and using an older or incorrect ICU version
installed on the system. (Another permitted way to do the
same thing is to set WITH_ICU
to
system
and set the
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
option to
path_name
.)
-DWITH_INNODB_EXTRA_DEBUG=
bool
Whether to include extra InnoDB debugging support.
Enabling WITH_INNODB_EXTRA_DEBUG
turns on
extra InnoDB debug checks. This option can only be enabled
when WITH_DEBUG
is enabled.
Whether to generate memcached shared libraries
(libmemcached.so
and
innodb_engine.so
).
Whether to build the test program that accompanies the
keyring_file
plugin. The default is
OFF
. Test file source code is located in
the plugin/keyring/keyring-test
directory.
Which libevent
library to use. Permitted
values are bundled
(default),
system
, and yes
. If you
specify system
or yes
,
the system libevent
library is used if
present. If the system library is not found, the bundled
libevent
library is used. The
libevent
library is required by
InnoDB
memcached.
Whether to include libwrap
(TCP wrappers)
support.
The WITH_LZ4
indicates the
source of zlib
support:
bundled
: Use the lz4
library bundled with the distribution. This is the
default.
system
: Use the system
lz4
library. If
WITH_LZ4
is set to this
value, the lz4_decompress utility is
not built. In this case, the system lz4
command can be used instead.
Whether to enable MemorySanitizer, for compilers that support it. The default is off.
For this option to have an effect if enabled, all libraries linked to MySQL must also have been compiled with the option enabled.
-DWITH_MECAB={disabled|system|
path_name
}
Use this option to compile the MeCab parser. If you have
installed MeCab to its default installation directory, set
-DWITH_MECAB=system
. The
system
option applies to MeCab
installations performed from source or from binaries using a
native package management utility. If you installed MeCab to a
custom installation directory, specify the path to the MeCab
installation. For example,
-DWITH_MECAB=/opt/mecab
. If the
system
option does not work, specifying the
MeCab installation path should work in all cases.
For related information, see Section 12.9.9, “MeCab Full-Text Parser Plugin”.
Whether to enable Visual Studio CRT memory leak tracing. The
default is OFF
.
Explicitly set the NUMA memory allocation policy.
CMake sets the default
WITH_NUMA
value based on whether
the current platform has NUMA
support. For
platforms without NUMA support, CMake
behaves as follows:
With no NUMA option (the normal case), CMake continues normally, producing only this warning: NUMA library missing or required version not available
With -DWITH_NUMA=ON
,
CMake aborts with this error: NUMA
library missing or required version not available
Which Protocol Buffers package to use.
protobuf_type
can be one of the
following values:
bundled
: Use the package bundled with
the distribution. This is the default.
system
: Use the package installed on
the system.
Other values are ignored, with a fallback to
bundled
.
Whether to build the rapid development cycle plugins. When
enabled, a rapid
directory is created in
the build tree containing these plugins. When disabled, no
rapid
directory is created in the build
tree. The default is ON
, unless the
rapid
directory is removed from the
source tree, in which case the default becomes
OFF
.
The type of LZMA library support to include.
lzma_type
can be one of the
following values:
bundled
: Use the LZMA library bundled
with the distribution. This is the default.
system
: Use the system LZMA library.
The type of RE2 library support to include.
re2_type
can be one of the
following values:
bundled
: Use the RE2 library bundled
with the distribution. This is the default.
system
: Use the system RE2 library.
-DWITH_SSL={
|ssl_type
path_name
}
The type of SSL support to include or the path name to the OpenSSL installation to use.
ssl_type
can be one of the
following values:
system
: Use the system SSL library.
This is the default.
On macOS and Windows, using system
builds as if CMake was invoked with
path_name
and points to the
installed OpenSSL library. This is because they do not
have system SSL libraries. On macOS, brew
install openssl installs to
/usr/local/opt/openssl
and
system
will find it. On Windows, it
checks %ProgramFiles%/OpenSSL,
%ProgramFiles%/OpenSSL-Win32,
%ProgramFiles%/OpenSSL-Win64,
C:/OpenSSL,
C:/OpenSSL-Win32, and
C:/OpenSSL-Win64.
yes
: This is a synonym for
system
.
wolfssl
: Use the wolfSSL library.
To use this option value, you must follow the
instructions in the
extra/README-wolfssl.txt
file.
path_name
is the path name to
the OpenSSL installation to use. This can be preferable to
using the ssl_type
value of
system
because it can prevent CMake
from detecting and using an older or incorrect OpenSSL
version installed on the system. (Another permitted way to
do the same thing is to set WITH_SSL
to
system
and set the
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
option to
path_name
.)
For information about using SSL support, see Section 6.4, “Using Encrypted Connections”.
Whether to enable installation of systemd support files. By
default, this option is disabled. When enabled, systemd
support files are installed, and scripts such as
mysqld_safe and the System V initialization
script are not installed. On platforms where systemd is not
available, enabling WITH_SYSTEMD
results in an error from CMake.
For more information about using systemd, see
Section 2.5.9, “Managing MySQL Server with systemd”. That section also includes
information about specifying options previously specified in
[mysqld_safe]
option groups. Because
mysqld_safe is not installed when systemd
is used, such options must be specified another way.
This option serves as an “umbrella” option to set
the system
value of any of the following
CMake options that are not set explicitly:
WITH_CURL
,
WITH_EDITLINE
,
WITH_ICU
,
WITH_LIBEVENT
,
WITH_LZ4
,
WITH_LZMA
,
WITH_PROTOBUF
,
WITH_RE2
,
WITH_SSL
,
WITH_ZLIB
.
Whether to build the test protocol trace client plugin (see
Section 28.2.4.11.1, “Using the Test Protocol Trace Plugin”). By default,
this option is disabled. Enabling this option has no effect
unless the
WITH_CLIENT_PROTOCOL_TRACING
option is enabled. If MySQL is configured with both options
enabled, the libmysqlclient
client library
is built with the test protocol trace plugin built in, and all
the standard MySQL clients load the plugin. However, even when
the test plugin is enabled, it has no effect by default.
Control over the plugin is afforded using environment
variables; see Section 28.2.4.11.1, “Using the Test Protocol Trace Plugin”.
Do not enable the
WITH_TEST_TRACE_PLUGIN
option
if you want to use your own protocol trace plugins because
only one such plugin can be loaded at a time and an error
occurs for attempts to load a second one. If you have
already built MySQL with the test protocol trace plugin
enabled to see how it works, you must rebuild MySQL without
it before you can use your own plugins.
For information about writing trace plugins, see Section 28.2.4.11, “Writing Protocol Trace Plugins”.
Whether to enable the ThreadSanitizer, for compilers that support it. The default is off.
Whether to enable the Undefined Behavior Sanitizer, for compilers that support it. The default is off.
If enabled, compile MySQL with unit tests. The default is ON unless the server is not being compiled.
Enables unixODBC support, for Connector/ODBC.
Whether to compile in the Valgrind header files, which exposes
the Valgrind API to MySQL code. The default is
OFF
.
To generate a Valgrind-aware debug build,
-DWITH_VALGRIND=1
normally is
combined with -DWITH_DEBUG=1
.
See
Building
Debug Configurations.
Some features require that the server be built with
compression library support, such as the
COMPRESS()
and
UNCOMPRESS()
functions, and
compression of the client/server protocol. The
WITH_ZLIB
indicates the source
of zlib
support:
bundled
: Use the
zlib
library bundled with the
distribution. This is the default.
system
: Use the system
zlib
library. If
WITH_ZLIB
is set to this
value, the zlib_decompress utility is
not built. In this case, the system openssl
zlib command can be used instead.
Whether to build without the MySQL server. The default is
OFF
, which does build the server.
Flags for the C Compiler.
Flags for the C++ Compiler.
-DWITH_DEFAULT_COMPILER_OPTIONS=
bool
Whether to use the flags from
cmake/build_configurations/compiler_options.cmake
.
All optimization flags were carefully chosen and tested by the MySQL build team. Overriding them can lead to unexpected results and is done at your own risk.
To specify your own C and C++ compiler flags, for flags that do
not affect optimization, use the
CMAKE_C_FLAGS
and
CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS
CMake options.
When providing your own compiler flags, you might want to specify
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE
as well.
For example, to create a 32-bit release build on a 64-bit Linux machine, do this:
shell>mkdir bld
shell>cd bld
shell>cmake .. -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-m32 \
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-m32 \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
If you set flags that affect optimization
(-O
), you must
set the
number
CMAKE_C_FLAGS_
and/or
build_type
CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_
options, where build_type
build_type
corresponds
to the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE
value. To
specify a different optimization for the default build type
(RelWithDebInfo
) set the
CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO
and
CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO
options. For
example, to compile on Linux with -O3
and with
debug symbols, do this:
shell>cmake .. -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO="-O3 -g" \
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO="-O3 -g"
The solution to many problems involves reconfiguring. If you do reconfigure, take note of the following:
If CMake is run after it has previously
been run, it may use information that was gathered during its
previous invocation. This information is stored in
CMakeCache.txt
. When
CMake starts up, it looks for that file and
reads its contents if it exists, on the assumption that the
information is still correct. That assumption is invalid when
you reconfigure.
Each time you run CMake, you must run make again to recompile. However, you may want to remove old object files from previous builds first because they were compiled using different configuration options.
To prevent old object files or configuration information from being used, run the following commands before re-running CMake:
On Unix:
shell>make clean
shell>rm CMakeCache.txt
On Windows:
shell>devenv MySQL.sln /clean
shell>del CMakeCache.txt
If you build outside of the source tree, remove and recreate your build directory before re-running CMake. For instructions on building outside of the source tree, see How to Build MySQL Server with CMake.
On some systems, warnings may occur due to differences in system include files. The following list describes other problems that have been found to occur most often when compiling MySQL:
To define which C and C++ compilers to use, you can define the
CC
and CXX
environment
variables. For example:
shell>CC=gcc
shell>CXX=g++
shell>export CC CXX
To specify your own C and C++ compiler flags, use the
CMAKE_C_FLAGS
and
CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS
CMake options.
See Compiler Flags.
To see what flags you might need to specify, invoke
mysql_config with the
--cflags
and
--cxxflags
options.
To see what commands are executed during the compile stage, after using CMake to configure MySQL, run make VERBOSE=1 rather than just make.
If compilation fails, check whether the
MYSQL_MAINTAINER_MODE
option is
enabled. This mode causes compiler warnings to become errors,
so disabling it may enable compilation to proceed.
If your compile fails with errors such as any of the following, you must upgrade your version of make to GNU make:
make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 18: Badly formed macro assignment
Or:
make: file `Makefile' line 18: Must be a separator (:
Or:
pthread.h: No such file or directory
Solaris and FreeBSD are known to have troublesome make programs.
GNU make 3.75 is known to work.
The sql_yacc.cc
file is generated from
sql_yacc.yy
. Normally, the build process
does not need to create sql_yacc.cc
because MySQL comes with a pregenerated copy. However, if you
do need to re-create it, you might encounter this error:
"sql_yacc.yy", line xxx
fatal: default action causes potential...
This is a sign that your version of yacc is deficient. You probably need to install a recent version of bison (the GNU version of yacc) and use that instead.
Versions of bison older than 1.75 may report this error:
sql_yacc.yy:#####: fatal error: maximum table size (32767) exceeded
The maximum table size is not actually exceeded; the error is caused by bugs in older versions of bison.
For information about acquiring or updating tools, see the system requirements in Section 2.8, “Installing MySQL from Source”.
Third-party tools that need to determine the MySQL version from
the MySQL source can read the VERSION
file in
the top-level source directory. The file lists the pieces of the
version separately. For example, if the version is MySQL 8.0.4-rc,
the file looks like this:
MYSQL_VERSION_MAJOR=8 MYSQL_VERSION_MINOR=0 MYSQL_VERSION_PATCH=4 MYSQL_VERSION_EXTRA=-rc
If the source is not for a General Availablility (GA) release, the
MYSQL_VERSION_EXTRA
value will be nonempty. For
the example, the value corresponds to Release Candidate.
To construct a five-digit number from the version components, use this formula:
MYSQL_VERSION_MAJOR*10000 + MYSQL_VERSION_MINOR*100 + MYSQL_VERSION_PATCH
The MySQL source code contains internal documentation written using Doxygen. The generated Doxygen content is available at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/mysql-server/latest/. It is also possible to generate this content locally from a MySQL source distribution using the following procedure:
Install doxygen 1.8.11 or higher. Distributions are available here:
http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/download.html
After installing doxygen, verify the version number:
shell> doxygen --version
1.8.11
Install PlantUML. Distributions are available here:
http://plantuml.com/download.html
When you install PlantUML on Windows (tested on Windows 10), you must run it at least once as administrator so it creates the registry keys. Open an administrator console and run this command:
java -jar path-to-plantuml.jar
The command should open a GUI window and return no errors on the console.
Install the Graphviz dot command. Distributions are available here:
http://www.graphviz.org/
After installing Graphviz, verify dot
availability. For example:
shell>which dot
/usr/bin/dot shell>dot -V
dot - graphviz version 2.28.0 (20130928.0220)
Set the PLANTUML_JAR_PATH
environment to
the location where you installed PlantUML. For example:
export PLANTUML_JAR_PATH=path-to-plantuml.jar
To invoke doxygen, change location to the top-level directory of your MySQL source distribution and execute these commands:
mkdir -p generated/doxygen doxygen
Inspect the error log. It is available in the
doxyerror.log
file in the top-level
directory. Assuming that the build executed successfully, view
the generated output using a browser. For example:
firefox generated/doxygen/html/index.html
You can use a different browser, and even bookmark the page.
This section discusses tasks that you should perform after installing MySQL:
If necessary, initialize the data directory and create the MySQL grant tables. For some MySQL installation methods, data directory initialization may be done for you automatically:
Windows installation operations performed by MySQL Installer.
Installation on Linux using a server RPM or Debian distribution from Oracle.
Installation using the native packaging system on many platforms, including Debian Linux, Ubuntu Linux, Gentoo Linux, and others.
Installation on macOS using a DMG distribution.
For other platforms and installation types, including installation from generic binary and source distributions, you must initialize the data directory yourself. For instructions, see Section 2.9.1, “Initializing the Data Directory”.
Start the server and make sure that it can be accessed. For instructions, see Section 2.9.2, “Starting the Server”, and Section 2.9.3, “Testing the Server”.
Assign passwords to the initial root
account
in the grant tables, if that was not already done during data
directory initialization. Passwords prevent unauthorized access
to the MySQL server. For instructions, see
Section 2.9.4, “Securing the Initial MySQL Account”.
Optionally, arrange for the server to start and stop automatically when your system starts and stops. For instructions, see Section 2.9.5, “Starting and Stopping MySQL Automatically”.
Optionally, populate time zone tables to enable recognition of named time zones. For instructions, see Section 5.1.12, “MySQL Server Time Zone Support”.
When you are ready to create additional user accounts, you can find information on the MySQL access control system and account management in Section 6.2, “The MySQL Access Privilege System”, and Section 6.3, “MySQL User Account Management”.
After installing MySQL, the data directory, including the tables
in the mysql
system database, must be
initialized. For some MySQL installation methods, data directory
initialization can be done automatically, as described in
Section 2.9, “Postinstallation Setup and Testing”. For other installation
methods, including installation from generic binary and source
distributions, you must initialize the data directory yourself.
This section describes how to initialize the data directory on Unix and Unix-like systems. (For Windows, see Section 2.3.7, “Windows Postinstallation Procedures”.) For some suggested commands that you can use to test whether the server is accessible and working properly, see Section 2.9.3, “Testing the Server”.
In the examples shown here, the server is going to run under the
user ID of the mysql
login account. This
assumes that such an account exists. Either create the account if
it does not exist, or substitute the name of a different existing
login account that you plan to use for running the server. For
information about creating the account, see
Creating a
mysql
System User and Group, in
Section 2.2, “Installing MySQL on Unix/Linux Using Generic Binaries”.
Change location into the top-level directory of your MySQL
installation directory, which is typically
/usr/local/mysql
:
shell> cd /usr/local/mysql
You will find several files and subdirectories inside the
folder, including the bin
subdirectory,
which contains the server as well as the client and utility
programs.
Create a directory whose location can be provided to the
secure_file_priv
system
variable, which limits import/export operations to that
specific directory:
shell> mkdir mysql-files
Grant ownership of the directory to the
mysql
user and group ownership to the
mysql
group, and set the right permissions
for the directory:
shell>chown mysql:mysql mysql-files
shell>chmod 750 mysql-files
Initialize the data directory, including the
mysql
database containing the initial MySQL
grant tables that determine how users are permitted to connect
to the server.
Typically, data directory initialization need be done only after you first installed MySQL. If you are upgrading an existing installation, you should run mysql_upgrade instead (see Section 4.4.5, “mysql_upgrade — Check and Upgrade MySQL Tables”). However, the command that initializes the data directory does not overwrite any existing privilege tables, so it should be safe to run in any circumstances. Use the server to initialize the data directory; for example:
shell> bin/mysqld --initialize --user=mysql
See Section 2.9.1.1, “Initializing the Data Directory Manually Using mysqld” for some important information on the command, especially on the command options you might use.
Initialization of the data directory might fail because some required software libraries are missing from your system. For example:
shell> bin/mysqld --initialize --user=mysql
bin/mysqld: error while loading shared libraries: libnuma.so.1: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
When this happens, you have to install the missing libraries manually or with your system's package manager before retrying the data directory initialization.
If you want the server to be able to deploy with automatic support for secure connections, use the mysql_ssl_rsa_setup utility to create default SSL and RSA files:
shell> bin/mysql_ssl_rsa_setup
For more information, see Section 4.4.3, “mysql_ssl_rsa_setup — Create SSL/RSA Files”.
If the plugin directory (the directory named by the
plugin_dir
system variable)
is writable by the server, it may be possible for a user to
write executable code to a file in the directory using
SELECT ... INTO
DUMPFILE
. This can be prevented by making the plugin
directory read only to the server or by setting the
secure_file_priv
system
variable at server startup to a directory where
SELECT
writes can be performed
safely. (For example, set it to the
mysql-files
directory created earlier.)
To specify options that the MySQL server should use at
startup, put them in a /etc/my.cnf
or
/etc/mysql/my.cnf
file. You can use such
a file to set, for example, the
secure_file_priv
system
variable. See Section 5.1.2, “Server Configuration Defaults”.
If you do not do this, the server starts with its default
settings.
If you want MySQL to start automatically when you boot your machine, see Section 2.9.5, “Starting and Stopping MySQL Automatically”.
Data directory initialization creates time zone tables in the
mysql
database but does not populate them. To
do so, use the instructions in
Section 5.1.12, “MySQL Server Time Zone Support”.
This section describes how to initialize the data directory using mysqld, the MySQL server.
In MySQL 8.0, the default authentication plugin has changed
from mysql_native_password
to
caching_sha2_password
, and the
'root'@'localhost'
administrative account
uses caching_sha2_password
by default. If
you prefer that the root
account use the
previous default authentication plugin
(mysql_native_password
), see
caching_sha2_password and the root Administrative Account.
The following instructions assume that your current location is
the MySQL installation directory, represented here by
BASEDIR
:
shell> cd BASEDIR
To initialize the data directory, invoke
mysqld with the
--initialize
or
--initialize-insecure
option,
depending on whether you want the server to generate a random
initial password for the 'root'@'localhost'
account.
On Windows, use one of these commands:
C:\>bin\mysqld --initialize
C:\>bin\mysqld --initialize-insecure
On Unix and Unix-like systems, it is important to make sure that
the database directories and files are owned by the
mysql
login account so that the server has
read and write access to them when you run it later. To ensure
this, start mysqld from the system
root
account and include the
--user
option as shown here:
shell>bin/mysqld --initialize --user=mysql
shell>bin/mysqld --initialize-insecure --user=mysql
Otherwise, execute the program while logged in as
mysql
, in which case you can omit the
--user
option from the command.
Regardless of platform, use
--initialize
for “secure by
default” installation (that is, including generation of a
random initial root
password). In this case,
the password is marked as expired and you will need to choose a
new one. With the
--initialize-insecure
option, no
root
password is generated; it is assumed
that you will assign a password to the account in timely fashion
before putting the server into production use.
It might be necessary to specify other options such as
--basedir
or
--datadir
if
mysqld cannot identify the correct locations
for the installation directory or data directory. For example
(enter the command on one line):
shell>bin/mysqld --initialize --user=mysql
--basedir=/opt/mysql/mysql
--datadir=/opt/mysql/mysql/data
Alternatively, put the relevant option settings in an option
file and pass the name of that file to
mysqld. For Unix and Unix-like systems,
suppose that the option file name is
/opt/mysql/mysql/etc/my.cnf
. Put these
lines in the file:
[mysqld] basedir=/opt/mysql/mysql datadir=/opt/mysql/mysql/data
Then invoke mysqld as follows (enter the
command on a single line with the
--defaults-file
option first):
shell>bin/mysqld --defaults-file=/opt/mysql/mysql/etc/my.cnf
--initialize --user=mysql
On Windows, suppose that C:\my.ini
contains
these lines:
[mysqld] basedir=C:\\Program Files\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 8.0 datadir=D:\\MySQLdata
Then invoke mysqld as follows (the
--defaults-file
option must be
first):
C:\> bin/mysqld --defaults-file=C:\my.ini --initialize
When invoked with the
--initialize
or
--initialize-insecure
option,
mysqld performs the following initialization
sequence.
The server writes any messages to its standard error output. This may be redirected to the error log, so look there if you do not see the messages on your screen. For information about the error log, including where it is located, see Section 5.4.2, “The Error Log”.
On Windows, use the --console
option to direct messages to the console.
The server checks for the existence of the data directory as follows:
If no data directory exists, the server creates it.
If a data directory exists but is not empty (that is, it contains files or subdirectories), the server exits after producing an error message:
[ERROR] --initialize specified but the data directory exists. Aborting.
In this case, remove or rename the data directory and try again.
An existing data directory is permitted to be nonempty
if every entry has a name that begins with a period
(.
).
Within the data directory, the server creates the
mysql
system database and its tables,
including the grant tables, server-side help tables, and
time zone tables. For a complete listing and description of
the grant tables, see Section 6.2, “The MySQL Access Privilege System”.
The server initializes the
system
tablespace and related data structures needed to
manage InnoDB
tables.
After mysqld sets up the
InnoDB
system
tablespace, changes to some tablespace
characteristics require setting up a whole new
instance. This
includes the file name of the first file in the system
tablespace and the number of undo logs. If you do not want
to use the default values, make sure that the settings for
the innodb_data_file_path
and innodb_log_file_size
configuration parameters are in place in the MySQL
configuration
file before running mysqld. Also
make sure to specify as necessary other parameters that
affect the creation and location of
InnoDB
files, such as
innodb_data_home_dir
and
innodb_log_group_home_dir
.
If those options are in your configuration file but that
file is not in a location that MySQL reads by default,
specify the file location using the
--defaults-extra-file
option when you run mysqld.
The server creates a 'root'@'localhost'
superuser account and other reserved accounts (see
Section 6.3.5, “Reserved User Accounts”). Some reserved accounts
are locked and cannot be used by clients, but
'root'@'localhost'
is intended for
administrative use and you should assign it a password.
The server's action with respect to a password for the
'root'@'localhost'
account depends on how
you invoke it:
With --initialize
but not
--initialize-insecure
,
the server generates a random password, marks it as
expired, and writes a message displaying the password:
[Warning] A temporary password is generated for root@localhost: iTag*AfrH5ej
With
--initialize-insecure
,
(either with or without
--initialize
because
--initialize-insecure
implies --initialize
),
the server does not generate a password or mark it
expired, and writes a warning message:
Warning] root@localhost is created with an empty password ! Please consider switching off the --initialize-insecure option.
See later in this section for instructions on assigning a
new 'root'@'localhost'
password.
The server populates the server-side help tables if content
is available (in the
fill_help_tables.sql
file). The server
does not populate the time zone tables; to do so, see
Section 5.1.12, “MySQL Server Time Zone Support”.
If the --init-file
option was
given to name a file of SQL statements, the server executes
the statements in the file. This option enables you to
perform custom bootstrapping sequences.
When the server operates in bootstrap mode, some
functionality is unavailable that limits the statements
permitted in the file. These include statements that relate
to account management (such as CREATE
USER
or GRANT
),
replication, and global transaction identifiers.
The server exits.
After you initialize the data directory by starting the server
with --initialize
or
--initialize-insecure
, start the
server normally (that is, without either of those options) and
assign the 'root'@'localhost'
account a new
password:
Start the server. For instructions, see Section 2.9.2, “Starting the Server”.
Connect to the server:
If you used --initialize
but not
--initialize-insecure
to
initialize the data directory, connect to the server as
root
using the random password that
the server generated during the initialization sequence:
shell>mysql -u root -p
Enter password:(enter the random root password here)
Look in the server error log if you do not know this password.
If you used
--initialize-insecure
to
initialize the data directory, connect to the server as
root
without a password:
shell> mysql -u root --skip-password
After connecting, assign a new root
password:
mysql> ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_password'
;
The data directory initialization sequence performed by the server does not substitute for the actions performed by mysql_secure_installation or mysql_ssl_rsa_setup. See Section 4.4.2, “mysql_secure_installation — Improve MySQL Installation Security”, and Section 4.4.3, “mysql_ssl_rsa_setup — Create SSL/RSA Files”.
This section describes how start the server on Unix and Unix-like systems. (For Windows, see Section 2.3.5.5, “Starting the Server for the First Time”.) For some suggested commands that you can use to test whether the server is accessible and working properly, see Section 2.9.3, “Testing the Server”.
Start the MySQL server like this if your installation includes mysqld_safe:
shell> bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &
For Linux systems on which MySQL is installed using RPM packages, server startup and shutdown is managed using systemd rather than mysqld_safe, and mysqld_safe is not installed. See Section 2.5.9, “Managing MySQL Server with systemd”.
Start the server like this if your installation includes systemd support:
shell> systemctl start mysqld
Substitute the appropriate service name if it differs from
mysqld
; for example, mysql
on SLES systems.
It is important that the MySQL server be run using an unprivileged
(non-root
) login account. To ensure this, run
mysqld_safe as root
and
include the --user
option as
shown. Otherwise, you should execute the program while logged in
as mysql
, in which case you can omit the
--user
option from the
command.
For further instructions for running MySQL as an unprivileged user, see Section 6.1.5, “How to Run MySQL as a Normal User”.
If the command fails immediately and prints mysqld
ended
, look for information in the error log (which by
default is the
file
in the data directory).
host_name
.err
If the server is unable to access the data directory it starts or
read the grant tables in the mysql
database, it
writes a message to its error log. Such problems can occur if you
neglected to create the grant tables by initializing the data
directory before proceeding to this step, or if you ran the
command that initializes the data directory without the
--user
option. Remove the
data
directory and run the command with the
--user
option.
If you have other problems starting the server, see Section 2.9.2.1, “Troubleshooting Problems Starting the MySQL Server”. For more information about mysqld_safe, see Section 4.3.2, “mysqld_safe — MySQL Server Startup Script”. For more information about systemd support, see Section 2.5.9, “Managing MySQL Server with systemd”.
This section provides troubleshooting suggestions for problems starting the server. For additional suggestions for Windows systems, see Section 2.3.6, “Troubleshooting a Microsoft Windows MySQL Server Installation”.
If you have problems starting the server, here are some things to try:
Check the error log to
see why the server does not start. Log files are located in
the data
directory (typically C:\Program
Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\data
on
Windows, /usr/local/mysql/data
for a
Unix/Linux binary distribution, and
/usr/local/var
for a Unix/Linux source
distribution). Look in the data directory for files with
names of the form
and
host_name
.err
,
where host_name
.loghost_name
is the name of
your server host. Then examine the last few lines of these
files. Use tail
to display them:
shell>tail
shell>host_name
.errtail
host_name
.log
Specify any special options needed by the storage engines
you are using. You can create a my.cnf
file and specify startup options for the engines that you
plan to use. If you are going to use storage engines that
support transactional tables (InnoDB
,
NDB
), be sure that you have
them configured the way you want before starting the server.
If you are using InnoDB
tables, see
Section 15.6, “InnoDB Configuration” for guidelines and
Section 15.13, “InnoDB Startup Options and System Variables” for option syntax.
Although storage engines use default values for options that you omit, Oracle recommends that you review the available options and specify explicit values for any options whose defaults are not appropriate for your installation.
Make sure that the server knows where to find the data directory. The mysqld server uses this directory as its current directory. This is where it expects to find databases and where it expects to write log files. The server also writes the pid (process ID) file in the data directory.
The default data directory location is hardcoded when the
server is compiled. To determine what the default path
settings are, invoke mysqld with the
--verbose
and
--help
options. If the data
directory is located somewhere else on your system, specify
that location with the
--datadir
option to
mysqld or mysqld_safe,
on the command line or in an option file. Otherwise, the
server will not work properly. As an alternative to the
--datadir
option, you can
specify mysqld the location of the base
directory under which MySQL is installed with the
--basedir
, and
mysqld looks for the
data
directory there.
To check the effect of specifying path options, invoke
mysqld with those options followed by the
--verbose
and
--help
options. For example,
if you change location into the directory where
mysqld is installed and then run the
following command, it shows the effect of starting the
server with a base directory of
/usr/local
:
shell> ./mysqld --basedir=/usr/local --verbose --help
You can specify other options such as
--datadir
as well, but
--verbose
and
--help
must be the last
options.
Once you determine the path settings you want, start the
server without --verbose
and
--help
.
If mysqld is currently running, you can find out what path settings it is using by executing this command:
shell> mysqladmin variables
Or:
shell> mysqladmin -h host_name
variables
host_name
is the name of the
MySQL server host.
Make sure that the server can access the data directory. The ownership and permissions of the data directory and its contents must allow the server to read and modify them.
If you get Errcode 13
(which means
Permission denied
) when starting
mysqld, this means that the privileges of
the data directory or its contents do not permit server
access. In this case, you change the permissions for the
involved files and directories so that the server has the
right to use them. You can also start the server as
root
, but this raises security issues and
should be avoided.
Change location into the data directory and check the
ownership of the data directory and its contents to make
sure the server has access. For example, if the data
directory is /usr/local/mysql/var
, use
this command:
shell> ls -la /usr/local/mysql/var
If the data directory or its files or subdirectories are not
owned by the login account that you use for running the
server, change their ownership to that account. If the
account is named mysql
, use these
commands:
shell>chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/var
shell>chgrp -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/var
Even with correct ownership, MySQL might fail to start up if there is other security software running on your system that manages application access to various parts of the file system. In this case, reconfigure that software to enable mysqld to access the directories it uses during normal operation.
Verify that the network interfaces the server wants to use are available.
If either of the following errors occur, it means that some other program (perhaps another mysqld server) is using the TCP/IP port or Unix socket file that mysqld is trying to use:
Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address already in use Can't start server: Bind on unix socket...
Use ps to determine whether you have another mysqld server running. If so, shut down the server before starting mysqld again. (If another server is running, and you really want to run multiple servers, you can find information about how to do so in Section 5.7, “Running Multiple MySQL Instances on One Machine”.)
If no other server is running, execute the command
telnet
.
(The default MySQL port number is 3306.) Then press Enter a
couple of times. If you do not get an error message like
your_host_name
tcp_ip_port_number
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host:
Connection refused
, some other program is using
the TCP/IP port that mysqld is trying to
use. Track down what program this is and disable it, or tell
mysqld to listen to a different port with
the --port
option. In this
case, specify the same non-default port number for client
programs when connecting to the server using TCP/IP.
Another reason the port might be inaccessible is that you have a firewall running that blocks connections to it. If so, modify the firewall settings to permit access to the port.
If the server starts but you cannot connect to it, make sure
that you have an entry in /etc/hosts
that looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
If you cannot get mysqld to start, try to
make a trace file to find the problem by using the
--debug
option. See
Section 28.5.3, “The DBUG Package”.
After the data directory is initialized and you have started the
server, perform some simple tests to make sure that it works
satisfactorily. This section assumes that your current location is
the MySQL installation directory and that it has a
bin
subdirectory containing the MySQL
programs used here. If that is not true, adjust the command path
names accordingly.
Alternatively, add the bin
directory to your
PATH
environment variable setting. That enables
your shell (command interpreter) to find MySQL programs properly,
so that you can run a program by typing only its name, not its
path name. See Section 4.2.10, “Setting Environment Variables”.
Use mysqladmin to verify that the server is running. The following commands provide simple tests to check whether the server is up and responding to connections:
shell>bin/mysqladmin version
shell>bin/mysqladmin variables
If you cannot connect to the server, specify a -u
root
option to connect as root
. If you
have assigned a password for the root
account
already, you'll also need to specify -p
on the
command line and enter the password when prompted. For example:
shell>bin/mysqladmin -u root -p version
Enter password:(enter root password here)
The output from mysqladmin version varies slightly depending on your platform and version of MySQL, but should be similar to that shown here:
shell> bin/mysqladmin version
mysqladmin Ver 14.12 Distrib 8.0.13, for pc-linux-gnu on i686
...
Server version 8.0.13
Protocol version 10
Connection Localhost via UNIX socket
UNIX socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
Uptime: 14 days 5 hours 5 min 21 sec
Threads: 1 Questions: 366 Slow queries: 0
Opens: 0 Flush tables: 1 Open tables: 19
Queries per second avg: 0.000
To see what else you can do with mysqladmin,
invoke it with the --help
option.
Verify that you can shut down the server (include a
-p
option if the root
account
has a password already):
shell> bin/mysqladmin -u root shutdown
Verify that you can start the server again. Do this by using mysqld_safe or by invoking mysqld directly. For example:
shell> bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &
If mysqld_safe fails, see Section 2.9.2.1, “Troubleshooting Problems Starting the MySQL Server”.
Run some simple tests to verify that you can retrieve information from the server. The output should be similar to that shown here.
Use mysqlshow to see what databases exist:
shell> bin/mysqlshow
+--------------------+
| Databases |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| mysql |
| performance_schema |
| sys |
+--------------------+
The list of installed databases may vary, but will always include
the minimum of mysql
and
information_schema
.
If you specify a database name, mysqlshow displays a list of the tables within the database:
shell> bin/mysqlshow mysql
Database: mysql
+---------------------------+
| Tables |
+---------------------------+
| columns_priv |
| db |
| engine_cost |
| event |
| func |
| general_log |
| gtid_executed |
| help_category |
| help_keyword |
| help_relation |
| help_topic |
| innodb_index_stats |
| innodb_table_stats |

| plugin |
| proc |
| procs_priv |
| proxies_priv |
| server_cost |
| servers |
| slave_master_info |
| slave_relay_log_info |
| slave_worker_info |
| slow_log |
| tables_priv |
| time_zone |
| time_zone_leap_second |
| time_zone_name |
| time_zone_transition |
| time_zone_transition_type |
| user |
+---------------------------+
Use the mysql program to select information
from a table in the mysql
database:
shell> bin/mysql -e "SELECT User, Host, plugin FROM mysql.user" mysql
+------+-----------+-----------------------+
| User | Host | plugin |
+------+-----------+-----------------------+
| root | localhost | caching_sha2_password |
+------+-----------+-----------------------+
At this point, your server is running and you can access it. To tighten security if you have not yet assigned a password to the initial account, follow the instructions in Section 2.9.4, “Securing the Initial MySQL Account”.
For more information about mysql, mysqladmin, and mysqlshow, see Section 4.5.1, “mysql — The MySQL Command-Line Tool”, Section 4.5.2, “mysqladmin — Client for Administering a MySQL Server”, and Section 4.5.8, “mysqlshow — Display Database, Table, and Column Information”.
The MySQL installation process involves initializing the data
directory, including the mysql
database
containing the grant tables that define MySQL accounts. For
details, see Section 2.9, “Postinstallation Setup and Testing”.
This section describes how to assign a password to the initial
root
account created during the MySQL
installation procedure, if you have not already done so.
On Windows, you can also perform the process described in this section during installation with MySQL Installer (see Section 2.3.3, “MySQL Installer for Windows”). On all platforms, the MySQL distribution includes mysql_secure_installation, a command-line utility that automates much of the process of securing a MySQL installation. MySQL Workbench is available on all platforms, and also offers the ability to manage user accounts (see Chapter 30, MySQL Workbench ).
A password may already be assigned to the initial account under these circumstances:
On Windows, installations performed using MySQL Installer give you the option of assigning a password.
Installation using the macOS installer generates an initial random password, which the installer displays to the user in a dialog box.
Installation using RPM packages generates an initial random password, which is written to the server error log.
Installations using Debian packages give you the option of assigning a password.
For data directory initialization performed manually using mysqld --initialize, mysqld generates an initial random password, marks it expired, and writes it to the server error log. For details, see Section 2.9.1.1, “Initializing the Data Directory Manually Using mysqld”.
The mysql.user
grant table defines the initial
MySQL user account and its access privileges. Installation of
MySQL creates only a 'root'@'localhost'
superuser account that has all privileges and can do anything. If
the root
account has an empty password, your
MySQL installation is unprotected: Anyone can connect to the MySQL
server as root
without a
password and be granted all privileges.
The 'root'@'localhost'
account also has a row
in the mysql.proxies_priv
table that enables
granting the PROXY
privilege for
''@''
, that is, for all users and all hosts.
This enables root
to set up proxy users, as
well as to delegate to other accounts the authority to set up
proxy users. See Section 6.3.11, “Proxy Users”.
To assign a password for the initial MySQL root
account, use the following procedure. Replace
new_password
in the examples with the
password that you want to use.
Start the server if it is not running. For instructions, see Section 2.9.2, “Starting the Server”.
The initial root
account may or may not have a
password. Choose whichever of the following procedures applies:
If the root
account exists with an initial
random password that has been expired, connect to the server
as root
using that password, then choose a
new password. This is the case if the data directory was
initialized using mysqld --initialize,
either manually or using an installer that does not give you
the option of specifying a password during the install
operation. Because the password exists, you must use it to
connect to the server. But because the password is expired,
you cannot use the account for any purpose other than to
choose a new password, until you do choose one.
If you do not know the initial random password, look in the server error log.
Connect to the server as root
using the
password:
shell>mysql -u root -p
Enter password:(enter the random root password here)
Choose a new password to replace the random password:
mysql> ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_password
';
If the root
account exists but has no
password, connect to the server as root
using no password, then assign a password. This is the case if
you initialized the data directory using mysqld
--initialize-insecure.
Connect to the server as root
using no
password:
shell> mysql -u root --skip-password
Assign a password:
mysql> ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_password
';
After assigning the root
account a password,
you must supply that password whenever you connect to the server
using the account. For example, to connect to the server using the
mysql client, use this command:
shell>mysql -u root -p
Enter password:(enter root password here)
To shut down the server with mysqladmin, use this command:
shell>mysqladmin -u root -p shutdown
Enter password:(enter root password here)
For additional information about setting passwords, see
Section 6.3.7, “Assigning Account Passwords”. If you forget your
root
password after setting it, see
Section B.5.3.2, “How to Reset the Root Password”.
To set up additional accounts, see Section 6.3.2, “Adding User Accounts”.
This section discusses methods for starting and stopping the MySQL server.
Generally, you start the mysqld server in one of these ways:
Invoke mysqld directly. This works on any platform.
On Windows, you can set up a MySQL service that runs automatically when Windows starts. See Section 2.3.5.8, “Starting MySQL as a Windows Service”.
On Unix and Unix-like systems, you can invoke mysqld_safe, which tries to determine the proper options for mysqld and then runs it with those options. See Section 4.3.2, “mysqld_safe — MySQL Server Startup Script”.
On Linux systems that support systemd, you can use it to control the server. See Section 2.5.9, “Managing MySQL Server with systemd”.
On systems that use System V-style run directories (that is,
/etc/init.d
and run-level specific
directories), invoke mysql.server. This
script is used primarily at system startup and shutdown. It
usually is installed under the name mysql
.
The mysql.server script starts the server
by invoking mysqld_safe. See
Section 4.3.3, “mysql.server — MySQL Server Startup Script”.
On macOS, install a launchd daemon to enable automatic MySQL startup at system startup. The daemon starts the server by invoking mysqld_safe. For details, see Section 2.4.3, “Installing and Using the MySQL Launch Daemon”. A MySQL Preference Pane also provides control for starting and stopping MySQL through the System Preferences. See Section 2.4.4, “Installing and Using the MySQL Preference Pane”.
On Solaris, use the service management framework (SMF) system to initiate and control MySQL startup.
systemd, the mysqld_safe and mysql.server scripts, Solaris SMF, and the macOS Startup Item (or MySQL Preference Pane) can be used to start the server manually, or automatically at system startup time. systemd, mysql.server, and the Startup Item also can be used to stop the server.
The following table shows which option groups the server and startup scripts read from option files.
Table 2.14 MySQL Startup Scripts and Supported Server Option Groups
Script | Option Groups |
---|---|
mysqld | [mysqld] , [server] ,
[mysqld- |
mysqld_safe | [mysqld] , [server] ,
[mysqld_safe] |
mysql.server | [mysqld] , [mysql.server] ,
[server] |
[mysqld-
means that groups with names like
major_version
][mysqld-5.7]
and
[mysqld-8.0]
are read by servers
having versions 5.7.x, 8.0.x, and so
forth. This feature can be used to specify options that can be
read only by servers within a given release series.
For backward compatibility, mysql.server also
reads the [mysql_server]
group and
mysqld_safe also reads the
[safe_mysqld]
group. To be current, you should
update your option files to use the
[mysql.server]
and
[mysqld_safe]
groups instead.
For more information on MySQL configuration files and their structure and contents, see Section 4.2.6, “Using Option Files”.
Upgrading is a common procedure, as you pick up bug fixes within the same MySQL release series or significant features between major MySQL releases. You perform this procedure first on some test systems to make sure everything works smoothly, and then on the production systems.
Downgrading is less common. It is typically performed because of a compatibility or performance issue that occurs on a production system that was not uncovered during initial upgrade verification on test systems.
Downgrade from MySQL 8.0 to MySQL 5.7 (or from a MySQL 8.0 release to a previous MySQL 8.0 release) is not supported. The only supported alternative is to restore a backup taken before upgrading. It is therefore imperative that you backup your data before starting the upgrade process.
This section describes how to upgrade to a new MySQL version.
In-Place Upgrade: Involves shutting down the old MySQL version, replacing the old MySQL binaries or packages with the new ones, restarting MySQL on the existing data directory, and running mysql_upgrade. For the in-place upgrade procedure, see In-Place Upgrade.
Logical Upgrade: Involves exporting SQL from the old MySQL version using a backup or export utility such as mysqldump or mysqlpump, installing the new MySQL version, and applying the SQL to the new MySQL version.
When applying SQL extracted from a previous MySQL
version to a new MySQL version, you may encounter errors
due to incompatibilities introduced by new, changed,
deprecated, or removed features and capabilities. Before
upgrading from MySQL 5.7 to MySQL
8.0, perform the preliminary checks
described in Verifying Upgrade Prerequisites for Your MySQL 5.7
Installation to
identify issues. Alternatively. the same checks can be
performed using the MySQL Shell
checkForServerUpgrade
utility. For
more information, see
Section 19.5, “MySQL Shell Utilities”. SQL exported
from a previous MySQL version may require modification
to enable a logical upgrade.
If you run MySQL Server on Windows, refer to the upgrade procedure described in Section 2.3.8, “Upgrading MySQL on Windows”.
If your current MySQL installation was installed on an Enterprise Linux platform or Fedora using the MySQL Yum Repository, see Section 2.10.1.3, “Upgrading MySQL with the MySQL Yum Repository”.
If your current MySQL installation was installed on Ubuntu using the MySQL APT repository, see Section 2.10.1.4, “Upgrading MySQL with the MySQL APT Repository”.
Upgrade from MySQL 5.7 to 8.0 is supported. However, upgrade is only supported between General Availability (GA) releases. For MySQL 8.0, it is required that you upgrade from a MySQL 5.7 GA release (5.7.9 or higher). Upgrades from non-GA releases of MySQL 5.7 are not supported.
Upgrading to the latest release is recommended before upgrading to the next version. For example, upgrade to the latest MySQL 5.7 release before upgrading to MySQL 8.0.
Upgrade that skips versions is not supported. For example, upgrading directly from MySQL 5.6 to 8.0 is not supported.
Once a release series reaches General Availability (GA)
status, upgrade within a release series from one GA
version to another GA version is supported. For example,
upgrading from MySQL
8.0.x
to
8.0.y
is
supported. (Upgrade involving development-status releases
is not supported.) Skipping a release is also supported.
For example, upgrading from MySQL
8.0.x
to
8.0.z
is
supported. MySQL 8.0.11 is the first GA status release
within the MySQL 8.0 release series.
Before upgrading, review the following information and perform any recommended steps:
Protect your data by creating a backup of your current
databases and log files. The backup should include the
mysql
system database, which contains
the MySQL data dictionary tables and system tables. See
Section 7.2, “Database Backup Methods”.
Downgrade from MySQL 8.0 to MySQL 5.7 (or from a MySQL 8.0 release to a previous MySQL 8.0 release) is not supported. The only supported alternative is to restore a backup taken before upgrading. It is therefore imperative that you backup your data before starting the upgrade process.
MySQL Server 8.0 incorporates a global data dictionary containing information about database objects in transactional tables. In previous MySQL series, dictionary data was stored in metadata files and nontransactional system tables. Upgrading from MySQL 5.7 to MySQL 8.0 upgrades the data directory from the file-based structure to the data-dictionary structure.
After you upgrade, a data dictionary-enabled server entails some general operational differences; see Section 14.7, “Data Dictionary Usage Differences”.
Review Section 2.10.1.2, “Changes Affecting Upgrades to MySQL 8.0” to identify changes in MySQL 8.0 that may affect your MySQL installation and applications. Some changes may require action before or after upgrading.
Review the Release Notes which provide information about features that are new in the MySQL 8.0 or differ from those found in earlier MySQL releases. Some of these changes may result in incompatibilities.
Review Features Removed in MySQL 8.0 for MySQL server features that have been removed in MySQL 8.0. An upgrade requires changes with respect to those features if you use any of them.
Review Section 1.5, “Server and Status Variables and Options Added, Deprecated, or Removed in MySQL 8.0” for MySQL server variables and options that have been added, deprecated, or removed in MySQL 8.0. If you use any of these, an upgrade requires configuration changes.
If you use replication, review Section 17.4.3, “Upgrading a Replication Setup”.
If your MySQL installation contains a large amount of data
that might take a long time to convert after an in-place
upgrade, you might find it useful to create a
“dummy” database instance for assessing what
conversions might be needed and the work involved to
perform them. Make a copy of your MySQL instance that
contains a full copy of the mysql
database, plus all other databases without data. Run your
upgrade procedure on this dummy instance to see what
actions might be needed so that you can better evaluate
the work involved when performing actual data conversion
on your original database instance.
Rebuilding and reinstalling MySQL language interfaces is
recommended whenever you install or upgrade to a new
release of MySQL. This applies to MySQL interfaces such as
PHP mysql
extensions, the Perl
DBD::mysql
module, and the Python
MySQLdb
module.
In the instructions that follow, MySQL commands that must be
run using a MySQL account with administrative privileges
include -u
on the
command line to specify the MySQL root
root
user. Commands that require a password for
root
also include a -p
option. Because -p
is followed by no option
value, such commands prompt for the password. Type the
password when prompted and press Enter.
SQL statements can be executed using the
mysql command-line client (connect as
root
to ensure that you have the
necessary privileges).
Before upgrading to MySQL 8.0, it is necessary to ensure the upgrade readiness of your installation by using your MySQL 5.7 server to perform several preliminary checks. The upgrade process may fail otherwise.
The same checks can be performed using the MySQL Shell
checkForServerUpgrade
utility. For more
information, see Section 19.5, “MySQL Shell Utilities”.
Preliminary checks:
There must be no tables that use obsolete data types,
obsolete functions, orphan .frm
files, InnoDB
tables that use nonnative
partitioning, or triggers that have a missing or empty
definer or an invalid creation context (indicated by the
character_set_client
,
collation_connection
, Database
Collation
attributes displayed by
SHOW TRIGGERS
or the
INFORMATION_SCHEMA
TRIGGERS
table).
To identify tables and triggers that fail these requirements, execute this command:
mysqlcheck -u root -p --all-databases --check-upgrade
If mysqlcheck reports any errors, correct the issues.
There must be no partitioned tables that use a storage engine that does not have native partitioning support. To identify such tables, execute this query:
SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE ENGINE NOT IN ('innodb', 'ndbcluster') AND CREATE_OPTIONS LIKE '%partitioned%';
Any table reported by the query must be altered to use
InnoDB
or be made nonpartitioned. To
change a table storage engine to
InnoDB
, execute this statement:
ALTER TABLE table_name
ENGINE = INNODB;
For information about converting MyISAM
tables to InnoDB
, see
Section 15.8.1.4, “Converting Tables from MyISAM to InnoDB”.
To make a partitioned table nonpartitioned, execute this statement:
ALTER TABLE table_name
REMOVE PARTITIONING;
There must be no tables in the MySQL 5.7
mysql
system database that have the
same name as a table used by the MySQL 8.0
data dictionary. To identify tables with those names,
execute this query:
SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE LOWER(TABLE_SCHEMA) = 'mysql' and LOWER(TABLE_NAME) IN ( 'catalogs', 'character_sets', 'collations', 'column_statistics', 'column_type_elements', 'columns', 'dd_properties', 'events', 'foreign_key_column_usage', 'foreign_keys', 'index_column_usage', 'index_partitions', 'index_stats', 'indexes', 'parameter_type_elements', 'parameters', 'resource_groups', 'routines', 'schemata', 'st_spatial_reference_systems', 'table_partition_values', 'table_partitions', 'table_stats', 'tables', 'tablespace_files', 'tablespaces', 'triggers', 'view_routine_usage', 'view_table_usage' );
Any tables reported by the query must be renamed (use
RENAME TABLE
). This may
also entail changes to applications that use the affected
tables.
There must be no tables that have foreign key constraint names longer than 64 characters. To identify tables with too-long constraint names, execute this query:
SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME IN (SELECT LEFT(SUBSTR(ID,INSTR(ID,'/')+1), INSTR(SUBSTR(ID,INSTR(ID,'/')+1),'_ibfk_')-1) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_SYS_FOREIGN WHERE LENGTH(SUBSTR(ID,INSTR(ID,'/')+1))>64);
Any tables reported by the query must be altered to have
constraint names no longer than 64 characters (use
ALTER TABLE
).
Your MySQL 5.7 installation must not use features that are not supported by MySQL 8.0. Any changes here are necessarily installation specific, but the following examples illustrate the kind of things to look for:
Tables that use a storage engine not supported in
MySQL 8.0 must be altered to use a
supported engine. For example, MySQL 8.0
does not yet support MySQL Cluster, so
NDB
tables must be altered to use a
different storage engine.
Some server startup options and system variables have been removed in MySQL 8.0. See Features Removed in MySQL 8.0, and Section 1.5, “Server and Status Variables and Options Added, Deprecated, or Removed in MySQL 8.0”. If you use any of these, an upgrade requires configuration changes.
Example: Because the data dictionary provides
information about database objects, the server no
longer checks directory names in the data directory to
find databases. Consequently, the
--ignore-db-dir
option is extraneous
and has been removed. To handle this, remove any
instances of --ignore-db-dir
from
your startup configuration. In addition, remove or
move the named data directory subdirectories before
upgrading to MySQL 8.0. (Alternatively,
let the 8.0 server add those directories
to the data dictionary as databases, then remove each
of those databases using DROP
DATABASE
.)
If you are upgrading an installation originally produced by installing multiple RPM packages, upgrade all the packages, not just some. For example, if you previously installed the server and client RPMs, do not upgrade just the server RPM.
For some Linux platforms, MySQL installation from RPM or Debian packages includes systemd support for managing MySQL server startup and shutdown. On these platforms, mysqld_safe is not installed. In such cases, use systemd for server startup and shutdown instead of the methods used in the following instructions. See Section 2.5.9, “Managing MySQL Server with systemd”.
To perform an in-place upgrade:
Review the information in Before You Begin.
Ensure the upgrade readiness of your installation by completing the preliminary checks in Verifying Upgrade Prerequisites for Your MySQL 5.7 Installation.
If you use XA transactions with InnoDB
,
run XA
RECOVER
before upgrading to check for
uncommitted XA transactions. If results are returned,
either commit or rollback the XA transactions by issuing
an XA
COMMIT
or
XA
ROLLBACK
statement.
With your MySQL 5.7 server, if there are
encrypted InnoDB
tablespaces, rotate
the keyring master key by executing this statement:
ALTER INSTANCE ROTATE INNODB MASTER KEY;
If you normally run your MySQL 5.7 server
configured with
innodb_fast_shutdown
set
to 2
(cold shutdown), configure it to
perform a fast or slow shutdown by executing either of
these statements:
SET GLOBAL innodb_fast_shutdown = 1; -- fast shutdown SET GLOBAL innodb_fast_shutdown = 0; -- slow shutdown
With a fast or slow shutdown, InnoDB
leaves its undo logs and data files in a state that can be
dealt with in case of file format differences between
releases.
Shut down the old MySQL server. For example:
mysqladmin -u root -p shutdown
Upgrade the MySQL binary installation or packages. If upgrading a binary installation, unpack the new MySQL binary distribution package. See Obtain and Unpack the Distribution. For package-based installations, replace the old packages with the new ones.
For supported Linux distributions, the preferred method for replacing the MySQL packages is to use the MySQL software repositories; see Section 2.10.1.3, “Upgrading MySQL with the MySQL Yum Repository”, Section 2.10.1.4, “Upgrading MySQL with the MySQL APT Repository”, or Upgrading MySQL with the MySQL SLES Repository for instructions.
Start the MySQL 8.0 server, using the existing data directory. For example:
mysqld_safe --user=mysql --datadir=/path/to/existing-datadir
If there are encrypted InnoDB
tablespaces, use the
--early-plugin-load
option
to load the keyring plugin.
When you start the MySQL 8.0 server, it
automatically detects whether data dictionary tables are
present. If not, the server creates them in the data
directory, populates them with metadata, and then proceeds
with its normal startup sequence. During this process, the
server upgrades metadata for all database objects,
including databases, tablespaces, system and user tables,
views, and stored programs (stored procedures and
functions, triggers, Event Scheduler events). The server
also removes files that previously were used for metadata
storage. For example, after upgrading, you will notice
that your tables no longer have .frm
files.
If this step succeeds, the server performs a cleanup:
In the data directory, the server creates a directory
named backup_metadata_57
and
moves into it files named db.opt
and files with a suffix of .frm
,
.par
, .TRG
,
.TRN
, or
.isl
. (These are files previously
used for metadata storage.)
Files in the backup_metadata_57
directory retain the original file system hierarchy.
For example, if t1.frm
was
located in the my_schema1
directory under the data directory, the server moves
it to the
backup_metadata_57/my_schema1
directory.
In the mysql
database, the server
renames the event
and
proc
tables to
event_backup_57
and
proc_backup_57
.
If this step fails, the server reverts all changes to the data directory. In this case, you should remove all redo log files, start your MySQL 5.7 server on the same data directory, and fix the cause of any errors. Then perform another slow shutdown of the 5.7 server and start the MySQL 8.0 server to try again.
After the MySQL 8.0 server starts successfully, execute mysql_upgrade:
mysql_upgrade -u root -p
mysql_upgrade examines all tables in
all databases for incompatibilities with the current
version of MySQL. It makes any remaining changes required
in the mysql
system database between
MySQL 5.7 and MySQL 8.0, so
that you can take advantage of new privileges or
capabilities. mysql_upgrade also brings
the Performance Schema,
INFORMATION_SCHEMA
, and
sys
schema objects up to date for MySQL
8.0.
mysql_upgrade does not upgrade the contents of the help tables. For upgrade instructions, see Section 5.1.13, “Server-Side Help”.
Shut down and restart the MySQL server to ensure that any changes made to the system tables take effect. For example:
mysqladmin -u root -p shutdown
mysqld_safe --user=mysql --datadir=/path/to/existing-datadir
The first time you started the MySQL 8.0 server (in an earlier step), you may have noticed messages written to the error log regarding nonupgraded tables. If mysql_upgrade has been run successfully, there should be no such messages the second time you start the server.
If problems occur, such as that the new
mysqld server does not start, verify
that you do not have an old my.cnf
file from your previous installation. You can check this
with the --print-defaults
option (for example, mysqld
--print-defaults). If this command displays
anything other than the program name, you have an active
my.cnf
file that affects server or
client operation.
If, after an upgrade, you experience problems with
compiled client programs, such as Commands out of
sync
or unexpected core dumps, you probably have
used old header or library files when compiling your
programs. In this case, check the date for your
mysql.h
file and
libmysqlclient.a
library to verify
that they are from the new MySQL distribution. If not,
recompile your programs with the new headers and
libraries. Recompilation might also be necessary for
programs compiled against the shared client library if the
library major version number has changed (for example,
from libmysqlclient.so.20
to
libmysqlclient.so.21
).
If you have created a user-defined function (UDF) with a
given name and upgrade MySQL to a version that implements
a new built-in function with the same name, the UDF
becomes inaccessible. To correct this, use
DROP FUNCTION
to drop the
UDF, and then use CREATE
FUNCTION
to re-create the UDF with a different
nonconflicting name. The same is true if the new version
of MySQL implements a built-in function with the same name
as an existing stored function. See
Section 9.2.4, “Function Name Parsing and Resolution”, for the rules
describing how the server interprets references to
different kinds of functions.
Before upgrading to MySQL 8.0, review the changes described in this section to identify upgrade issues that apply to your MySQL installation and applications.
Changes marked as either Known issue or Incompatible change are incompatibilities with earlier versions of MySQL, and may require your attention before you upgrade. Our aim is to avoid these changes, but occasionally they are necessary to correct problems that would be worse than an incompatibility between releases. If any upgrade issue applicable to your installation involves an incompatibility that requires special handling, follow the instructions given in the description.
MySQL Server 8.0 incorporates a global data dictionary containing information about database objects in transactional tables. In previous MySQL series, dictionary data was stored in metadata files and nontransactional system tables. As a result, the upgrade procedure is somewhat different from previous MySQL releases and requires that you verify the upgrade readiness of your installation by checking specific prerequisites. For more information, see Verifying Upgrade Prerequisites for Your MySQL 5.7 Installation. A data dictionary-enabled server entails some general operational differences; see Section 14.7, “Data Dictionary Usage Differences”.
The caching_sha2_password
and
sha256_password
authentication plugins
provide more secure password encryption than the
mysql_native_password
plugin, and
caching_sha2_password
provides better
performance than sha256_password
. Due to
these superior security and performance characteristics of
caching_sha2_password
, it is as of MySQL
8.0.4 the preferred authentication plugin, and is also the
default authentication plugin rather than
mysql_native_password
. This change affects
both the server and the libmysqlclient
client library:
For the server, the default value of the
default_authentication_plugin
system variable changes from
mysql_native_password
to
caching_sha2_password
.
This change applies only to new accounts created after
installing or upgrading to MySQL 8.0.4 or later. For
accounts already existing in an upgraded installation,
their authentication plugin remains unchanged. Existing
users who wish to switch to
caching_sha2_password
can do so using
the ALTER USER
statement:
ALTER USERuser
IDENTIFIED WITH caching_sha2_password BY 'password
';
The libmysqlclient
library treats
caching_sha2_password
as the default
authentication plugin rather than
mysql_native_password
.
The following sections discuss the implications of the more
prominent role of caching_sha2_password
:
If your MySQL installation must serve pre-8.0 clients and
you encounter compatibility issues after upgrading to MySQL
8.0.4 or later, the simplest way to address those issues and
restore pre-8.0 compatibility is to reconfigure the server
to revert to the previous default authentication plugin
(mysql_native_password
). For example, use
these lines in the server option file:
[mysqld] default_authentication_plugin=mysql_native_password
That setting enables pre-8.0 clients to connect to 8.0
servers until such time as the clients and connectors in use
at your installation are upgraded to know about
caching_sha2_password
. However, the
setting should be viewed as temporary, not as a long term or
permanent solution, because it causes new accounts created
with the setting in effect to forego the improved
authentication security provided by
caching_sha2_password
.
The use of caching_sha2_password
offers
more secure password hashing than
mysql_native_password
(and consequent
improved client connection authentication). However, it also
has compatibility implications that may affect existing MySQL
installations:
Clients and connectors that have not been updated to know
about caching_sha2_password
may have
trouble connecting to a MySQL 8.0 server configured with
caching_sha2_password
as the default
authentication plugin, even to use accounts that do not
authenticate with
caching_sha2_password
. This issue
occurs because the server specifies the name of its
default authentication plugin to clients. If a client or
connector is based on a client/server protocol
implementation that does not gracefully handle an
unrecognized default authentication plugin, it may fail
with an error such as one of these:
Authentication plugin 'caching_sha2_password' is not supported
Authentication plugin 'caching_sha2_password' cannot be loaded: dlopen(/usr/local/mysql/lib/plugin/caching_sha2_password.so, 2): image not found
Warning: mysqli_connect(): The server requested authentication method unknown to the client [caching_sha2_password]
For information about writing connectors to gracefully handle requests from the server for unknown default authentication plugins, see Authentication Plugin Connector-Writing Considerations.
Clients that use an account that authenticates with
caching_sha2_password
must use either a
secure connection (made using TCP using TLS/SSL
credentials, a Unix socket file, or shared memory), or an
unencrypted connection that supports password exchange
using an RSA key pair. This security requirement does not
apply to mysql_native_passsword
, so the
switch to caching_sha2_password
may
require additional configuration (see
Section 6.5.1.3, “Caching SHA-2 Pluggable Authentication”).
However, client connections in MySQL 8.0 prefer use of
TLS/SSL by default, so clients that already conform to
that preference may need no additional configuration.
Clients and connectors that have not been updated to know
about caching_sha2_password
cannot connect to accounts that
authenticate with caching_sha2_password
because they do not recognize this plugin as valid. (This
is a particular instance of how client/server
authentication plugin compatibility requirements apply, as
discussed at
Authentication Plugin Client/Server Compatibility.)
To work around this issue, relink clients against
libmysqlclient
from MySQL 8.0.4 or
higher, or obtain an updated connector that recognizes
caching_sha2_password
.
Because caching_sha2_password
is also
now the default authentication plugin in the
libmysqlclient
client library,
authentication requires an extra round trip in the
client/server protocol for connections from MySQL 8.0
clients to accounts that use
mysql_native_password
(the previous
default authentication plugin), unless the client program
is invoked with a
--default-auth=mysql_native_password
option.
The libmysqlclient
client library for
pre-8.0 MySQL versions is able to connect to MySQL 8.0 servers
(except for accounts that authenticate with
caching_sha2_password
). That means pre-8.0
clients based on libmysqlclient
should also
be able to connect. Examples:
Standard MySQL clients such as mysql
and mysqladmin are
libmysqlclient
-based.
The DBD::mysql driver for Perl DBI is
libmysqlclient
-based.
MySQL Connector/Python has a C Extension module that is
libmysqlclient
-based. To use it,
include the use_pure=False
option at
connect time.
When an existing MySQL 8.0 installation is upgraded to MySQL
8.0.4 or higher, some older
libmysqlclient
-based clients may
“automatically” upgrade if they are dynamically
linked, because they use the new client library installed by
the upgrade. For example, if the DBD::mysql driver for Perl
DBI uses dynamic linking, it can use the
libmysqlclient
in place after an upgrade to
MySQL 8.0.4 or higher, with this result:
Prior to the upgrade, DBI scripts that use DBD::mysql can
connect to a MySQL 8.0 server, except for accounts that
authenticate with
caching_sha2_password
.
After the upgrade, the same scripts become able to use
caching_sha2_password
accounts as well.
However, the preceding results occur because
libmysqlclient
instances from MySQL 8.0
installations prior to 8.0.4 are binary compatible: They both
use a shared library major version number of 21. For clients
linked to libmysqlclient
from MySQL 5.7 or
older, they link to a shared library with a different version
number that is not binary compatible. In this case, the client
must be recompiled against libmysqlclient
from 8.0.4 or higher for full compatibility with MySQL 8.0
servers and caching_sha2_password
accounts.
MySQL Connector/J 5.1 through 8.0.8 is able to connect to MySQL 8.0
servers, except for accounts that authenticate with
caching_sha2_password
. (Connector/J 8.0.9 or
higher is required to connect to
caching_sha2_password
accounts.)
Clients that use an implementation of the client/server
protocol other than libmysqlclient
may need
to be upgraded to a newer version that understands the new
authentication plugin. For example, in PHP, MySQL connectivity
usually is based on mysqlnd
, which
currently does not know about
caching_sha2_password
. Until an updated
version of mysqlnd
is available, the way to
enable PHP clients to connect to MySQL 8.0 is to reconfigure
the server to revert to
mysql_native_password
as the default
authentication plugin, as previously discussed.
If a client or connector supports an option to explicitly
specify a default authentication plugin, use it to name a
plugin other than caching_sha2_password
.
Examples:
Some MySQL clients support a
--default-auth
option.
(Standard MySQL clients such as mysql
and mysqladmin support this option but
can successfully connect to 8.0 servers without it.
However, other clients may support a similar option. If
so, it is worth trying it.)
Programs that use the libmysqlclient
C
API can call the
mysql_options()
function
with the MYSQL_DEFAULT_AUTH
option.
MySQL Connector/Python scripts that use the native Python implementation
of the client/server protocol can specify the
auth_plugin
connection option.
(Alternatively, use the Connector/Python C Extension, which is able
to connect to MySQL 8.0 servers without the need for
auth_plugin
.)
If a client or connector is available that has been updated to
know about caching_sha2_password
, using it
is the best way to ensure compatibility when connecting to a
MySQL 8.0 server configured with
caching_sha2_password
as the default
authentication plugin.
These clients and connectors have been upgraded to support
caching_sha2_password
:
The libmysqlclient
client library in
MySQL 8.0.4 or higher. Standard MySQL clients such as
mysql and mysqladmin
are libmysqlclient
-based, so they are
compatible as well.
MySQL Connector/C++ 1.1.11 or higher or 8.0.7 or higher.
MySQL Connector/J 8.0.9 or higher.
MySQL Connector/Net 8.0.10 or higher (through the classic MySQL protocol).
MySQL Connector/Node.js 8.0.9 or higher.
PHP: the X DevAPI PHP extension (mysql_xdevapi) supports it.
PHP: the PDO_MySQL and ext/mysqli extensions do not. In addition, when used with PHP versions before 7.1.16 and PHP 7.2 before 7.2.4, they fail to connect with default_authentication_plugin=caching_sha2_password even if caching_sha2_password is not used.
For upgrades to MySQL 8.0, the authentication plugin existing
accounts remains unchanged, including the plugin for the
'root'@'localhost'
administrative account.
For new MySQL 8.0 installations, when you initialize the data
directory (using the instructions at
Section 2.9.1.1, “Initializing the Data Directory Manually Using mysqld”), the
'root'@'localhost'
account is created, and
that account uses caching_sha2_password
by
default. To connect to the server following data directory
initialization, you must therefore use a client or connector
that supports caching_sha2_password
. If you
can do this but prefer that the root
account use mysql_native_password
after
installation, install MySQL and initialize the data directory
as you normally would. Then connect to the server as
root
and use ALTER
USER
as follows to change the account authentication
plugin and password:
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost'
IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password
BY 'password
';
If the client or connector that you use does not yet support
caching_sha2_password
, you can use a
modified data directory-initialization procedure that
associates the root
account with
mysql_native_password
as soon as the
account is created. To do so, use either of these techniques:
Supply a
--default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password
option along with
--initialize
or
--initialize-insecure
.
Set
default_authentication_plugin
to mysql_native_password
in an option
file, and name that option file using a
--defaults-file
option
along with --initialize
or
--initialize-insecure
. (In
this case, if you continue to use that option file for
subsequent server startups, new accounts will be created
with mysql_native_password
rather than
caching_sha2_password
unless you remove
the
default_authentication_plugin
setting from the option file.)
In replication scenarios for which all servers have been
upgraded to MySQL 8.0.4 or higher, slave/replica connections
to master/primary servers can use accounts that authenticate
with caching_sha2_password
. For such
connections, the same requirement applies as for other clients
that use accounts that authenticate with
caching_sha2_password
: Use a secure
connection or RSA-based password exchange.
To connect to a caching_sha2_password
account for master/slave replication:
For MySQL built using OpenSSL, use any of the following
CHANGE MASTER TO
options:
MASTER_SSL = 1
GET_MASTER_PUBLIC_KEY = 1
MASTER_PUBLIC_KEY_PATH='path to RSA public key file
'
For MySQL built using wolfSSL, use
MASTER_SSL=1
with
CHANGE MASTER TO
.
Alternatively, you can use the RSA public key-related options if the required keys are supplied at server startup.
To connect to a caching_sha2_password
account for Group Replication:
For MySQL built using OpenSSL, set any of the following system variables:
SET GLOBAL group_replication_recovery_use_ssl = ON;
SET GLOBAL group_replication_recovery_get_public_key = 1;
SET GLOBAL group_replication_recovery_public_key_path = 'path to RSA public key file
';
For MySQL built using wolfSSL, set this system variable:
SET GLOBAL group_replication_recovery_use_ssl = ON;
Alternatively, you can use the RSA public key-related options if the required keys are supplied at server startup.
Incompatible change: A
MySQL storage engine is now responsible for providing its
own partitioning handler, and the MySQL server no longer
provides generic partitioning support.
InnoDB
is the only storage
engine providing a native partitioning handler that is
supported in MySQL 8.0. (The
NDB
storage engine also provides native
partitioning support, but it is not yet supported in MySQL
8.0.) A partitioned table using any other
storage engine must be altered—either to convert it
to InnoDB
, or to remove its
partitioning—before upgrading
the server, else it cannot be used afterwards.
For information about converting MyISAM
tables to InnoDB
, see
Section 15.8.1.4, “Converting Tables from MyISAM to InnoDB”.
A table creation statement that would result in a
partitioned table using a storage engine without such
support fails with an error
(ER_CHECK_NOT_IMPLEMENTED) in MySQL
8.0. If you import databases from a dump file
created in MySQL 5.7 (or earlier) using
mysqldump into a MySQL 8.0
server, you must make sure that any statements creating
partitioned tables do not also specify an unsupported
storage engine, either by removing any references to
partitioning, or by specifying the storage engine as
InnoDB
or allowing it to be set as
InnoDB
by default.
The procedure given at Verifying Upgrade Prerequisites for Your MySQL 5.7 Installation, describes how to identify partitioned tables that must be altered before upgrading to MySQL 8.0.
See Section 22.6.2, “Partitioning Limitations Relating to Storage Engines”, for further information.
Incompatible change: Several server error codes are not used and have been removed (for a list, see Features Removed in MySQL 8.0). Applications that test specifically for any of them should be updated.
Important change: The
default character set has changed from
latin1
to utf8mb4
.
These system variables are affected:
The default value of the
character_set_server
and
character_set_database
system variables has changed from
latin1
to
utf8mb4
.
The default value of the
collation_server
and
collation_database
system variables has changed from
latin1_swedish_ci
to
utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci
.
As a result, the default character set and collation for
new objects differ from previously unless an explicit
character set and collation are specified. This includes
databases and objects within them, such as tables, views,
and stored programs. Assuming that the previous defaults
were used, one way to preserve them is to start the server
with these lines in the my.cnf
file:
[mysqld] character_set_server=latin1 collation_server=latin1_swedish_ci
In a replicated setting, when upgrading from MySQL 5.7 to
8.0, it is advisable to change the default character set
back to the character set used in MySQL 5.7 before
upgrading. After the upgrade is completed, the default
character set can be changed to
utf8mb4
.
Incompatible change: As
of MySQL 8.0.11, it is prohibited to start the server with
a lower_case_table_names
setting that is different from the setting used when the
server was initialized. The restriction is necessary
because collations used by various data dictionary table
fields are based on the setting defined when the server is
initialized, and restarting the server with a different
setting would introduce inconsistencies with respect to
how identifiers are ordered and compared.
In MySQL 8.0.11, several deprecated features related to
account management have been removed, such as use of the
GRANT
statement to modify
nonprivilege characteristics of user accounts, the
NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER
SQL mode, the
PASSWORD()
function, and the
old_passwords
system variable.
Replication from MySQL 5.7 to 8.0 of statements that refer to these removed features can cause replication failure. Applications that use any of the removed features should be revised to avoid them and use alternatives when possible, as described in Features Removed in MySQL 8.0.
In MySQL 8.0.11, these deprecated compatibility SQL modes
were removed: DB2
,
MAXDB
, MSSQL
,
MYSQL323
, MYSQL40
,
ORACLE
, POSTGRESQL
,
NO_FIELD_OPTIONS
,
NO_KEY_OPTIONS
,
NO_TABLE_OPTIONS
. They can no longer be
assigned to the sql_mode
system
variable or used as permitted values for the
mysqldump
--compatible
option.
Removal of MAXDB
means that the
TIMESTAMP
data type for
CREATE TABLE
or
ALTER TABLE
is no longer
treated as DATETIME
.
Replication from MySQL 5.7 to 8.0 of statements that refer
to the removed SQL modes can cause replication failure.
This includes replication of CREATE
statements for stored programs (stored procedures and
functions, triggers, and events) that are executed while
the current sql_mode
value includes any of the removed modes. Applications that
use any of the removed modes should be revised to avoid
them.
As of MySQL 8.0.3, spatial data types permit an
SRID
attribute, to explicitly indicate
the spatial reference system (SRS) for values stored in
the column. See Section 11.5.1, “Spatial Data Types”.
A spatial column with an explicit SRID
attribute is SRID-restricted: The column takes only values
with that ID, and SPATIAL
indexes on
the column become subject to use by the optimizer. The
optimizer ignores SPATIAL
indexes on
spatial columns with no SRID
attribute.
See Section 8.3.3, “SPATIAL Index Optimization”. If you
wish the optimizer to consider SPATIAL
indexes on spatial columns that are not SRID-restricted,
each such column should be modified:
Verify that all values within the column have the same
SRID. To determine the SRIDs contained in a geometry
column col_name
, use the
following query:
SELECT DISTINCT ST_SRID(col_name
) FROMtbl_name
;
If the query returns more than one row, the column contains a mix of SRIDs. In that case, modify its contents so all values have the same SRID.
Redefine the column to have an explicit
SRID
attribute.
Recreate the SPATIAL
index.
Several spatial functions were removed in MySQL 8.0.0 due
to a spatial function namespace change that implemented an
ST_
prefix for functions that perform
an exact operation, or an MBR
prefix
for functions that perform an operation based on minimum
bounding rectangles. The use of removed spatial functions
in generated column definitions could cause an upgrade
failure. Before upgrading, run mysqlcheck
--check-upgrade for removed spatial functions
and replace any that you find with their
ST_
or MBR
named
replacements. For a list of removed spatial functions,
refer to Features Removed in MySQL 8.0.
The BACKUP_ADMIN
privilege
is automatically granted to users with the
RELOAD
privilege when
performing an in-place upgrade to MySQL 8.0.3 or later.
INFORMATION_SCHEMA
views
based on InnoDB
system tables were
replaced by internal system views on data dictionary
tables. Affected InnoDB
INFORMATION_SCHEMA
views were

After upgrading to MySQL 8.0.3 or later, update any
scripts that reference previous InnoDB
INFORMATION_SCHEMA
view
names.
The zlib library version bundled with MySQL was raised from version 1.2.3 to version 1.2.11.
The zlib compressBound()
function in
zlib 1.2.11 returns a slightly higher estimate of the
buffer size required to compress a given length of bytes
than it did in zlib version 1.2.3. The
compressBound()
function is called by
InnoDB
functions that determine the
maximum row size permitted when creating compressed
InnoDB
tables or inserting rows into
compressed InnoDB
tables. As a result,
CREATE TABLE
... ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED
or
INSERT
operations with row
sizes very close to the maximum row size that were
successful in earlier releases could now fail.
If you have compressed InnoDB
tables
with large rows, it is recommended that you test
compressed table CREATE
TABLE
statements on a MySQL 8.0 test instance
prior to upgrading.
With the introduction of the
--innodb-directories
feature, the location of file-per-table and general
tablespace files created with an absolute path or in a
location outside of the data directory should be added to
the innodb_directories
argument value. Otherwise, InnoDB
is
not able to locate these files during recovery. To view
tablespace file locations, query the
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.FILES
table:
SELECT TABLESPACE_NAME, FILE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.FILES \G
Some keywords may be reserved in MySQL 8.0 that were not reserved in MySQL 5.7. See Section 9.3, “Keywords and Reserved Words”. This can cause words previously used as identifiers to become illegal. To fix affected statements, use identifier quoting. See Section 9.2, “Schema Object Names”.
After upgrading, it is recommended that you test optimizer hints specified in application code to ensure that the hints are still required to achieve the desired optimization strategy. Optimizer enhancements can sometimes render certain optimizer hints unnecessary. In some cases, an unnecessary optimizer hint may even be counterproductive.
For supported Yum-based platforms (see Section 2.5.1, “Installing MySQL on Linux Using the MySQL Yum Repository”, for a list), you can perform an in-place upgrade for MySQL (that is, replacing the old version and then running the new version off the old data files) with the MySQL Yum repository.
Before performing any update to MySQL, follow carefully the instructions in Section 2.10.1, “Upgrading MySQL”. Among other instructions discussed there, it is especially important to back up your database before the update.
The following instructions assume you have installed MySQL with the MySQL Yum repository or with an RPM package directly downloaded from MySQL Developer Zone's MySQL Download page; if that is not the case, following the instructions in Replacing a Third-Party Distribution of MySQL Using the MySQL Yum Repository.
By default, the MySQL Yum repository updates MySQL to the latest version in the release series you have chosen during installation (see Selecting a Release Series for details), which means, for example, a 5.7.x installation will NOT be updated to a 8.0.x release automatically. To update to another release series, you need to first disable the subrepository for the series that has been selected (by default, or by yourself) and enable the subrepository for your target series. To do that, see the general instructions given in Selecting a Release Series. For upgrading from MySQL 5.7 to 8.0, perform the reverse of the steps illustrated in Selecting a Release Series, disabling the subrepository for the MySQL 5.7 series and enabling that for the MySQL 8.0 series.
As a general rule, to upgrade from one release series to another, go to the next series rather than skipping a series. For example, if you are currently running MySQL 5.6 and wish to upgrade to 8.0, upgrade to MySQL 5.7 first before upgrading to 8.0.
For important information about upgrading from MySQL 5.7 to 8.0, see Upgrading from MySQL 5.7 to 8.0.
Upgrade MySQL and its components by the following command, for platforms that are not dnf-enabled:
sudo yum update mysql-server
For platforms that are dnf-enabled:
sudo dnf upgrade mysql-server
Alternatively, you can update MySQL by telling Yum to update everything on your system, which might take considerably more time; for platforms that are not dnf-enabled:
sudo yum update
For platforms that are dnf-enabled:
sudo dnf upgrade
The MySQL server always restarts after an update by Yum. Once the server restarts, run mysql_upgrade to check and possibly resolve any incompatibilities between the old data and the upgraded software. mysql_upgrade also performs other functions; see Section 4.4.5, “mysql_upgrade — Check and Upgrade MySQL Tables” for details.
You can also update only a specific component. Use the following command to list all the installed packages for the MySQL components (for dnf-enabled systems, replace yum in the command with dnf):
sudo yum list installed | grep "^mysql"
After identifying the package name of the component of your
choice, for platforms that are not dnf-enabled, update the
package with the following command, replacing
package-name
with the name of the
package:
sudo yum update package-name
For dnf-enabled platforms:
sudo dnf upgrade package-name
After updating MySQL using the Yum repository, applications compiled with older versions of the shared client libraries should continue to work.
If you recompile applications and dynamically link them with the updated libraries: As typical with new versions of shared libraries where there are differences or additions in symbol versioning between the newer and older libraries (for example, between the newer, standard 8.0 shared client libraries and some older—prior or variant—versions of the shared libraries shipped natively by the Linux distributions' software repositories, or from some other sources), any applications compiled using the updated, newer shared libraries will require those updated libraries on systems where the applications are deployed. And, as expected, if those libraries are not in place, the applications requiring the shared libraries will fail. So, be sure to deploy the packages for the shared libraries from MySQL on those systems. You can do this by adding the MySQL Yum repository to the systems (see Adding the MySQL Yum Repository) and install the latest shared libraries using the instructions given in Installing Additional MySQL Products and Components with Yum.
On Debian and Ubuntu platforms, you can perform an in-place upgrade of MySQL and its components with the MySQL APT repository. See Upgrading MySQL with the MySQL APT Repository in A Quick Guide to Using the MySQL APT Repository.
Downgrade from MySQL 8.0 to MySQL 5.7 (or from a MySQL 8.0 release to a previous MySQL 8.0 release) is not supported. The only supported alternative is to restore a backup taken before upgrading. It is therefore imperative that you backup your data before starting the upgrade process.
This section describes how to rebuild or repair tables or indexes, which may be necessitated by:
Changes to how MySQL handles data types or character sets. For example, an error in a collation might have been corrected, necessitating a table rebuild to update the indexes for character columns that use the collation.
Required table repairs or upgrades reported by
CHECK TABLE
,
mysqlcheck, or
mysql_upgrade.
Methods for rebuilding a table include:
If you are rebuilding tables because a different version of MySQL will not handle them after a binary (in-place) upgrade or downgrade, you must use the dump-and-reload method. Dump the tables before upgrading or downgrading using your original version of MySQL. Then reload the tables after upgrading or downgrading.
If you use the dump-and-reload method of rebuilding tables only for the purpose of rebuilding indexes, you can perform the dump either before or after upgrading or downgrading. Reloading still must be done afterward.
If you need to rebuild an InnoDB
table
because a CHECK TABLE
operation
indicates that a table upgrade is required, use
mysqldump to create a dump file and
mysql to reload the file. If the
CHECK TABLE
operation indicates
that there is a corruption or causes InnoDB
to fail, refer to Section 15.20.2, “Forcing InnoDB Recovery” for
information about using the
innodb_force_recovery
option to
restart InnoDB
. To understand the type of
problem that CHECK TABLE
may be
encountering, refer to the InnoDB
notes in
Section 13.7.3.2, “CHECK TABLE Syntax”.
To rebuild a table by dumping and reloading it, use mysqldump to create a dump file and mysql to reload the file:
mysqldumpdb_name
t1 > dump.sql mysqldb_name
< dump.sql
To rebuild all the tables in a single database, specify the database name without any following table name:
mysqldumpdb_name
> dump.sql mysqldb_name
< dump.sql
To rebuild all tables in all databases, use the
--all-databases
option:
mysqldump --all-databases > dump.sql mysql < dump.sql
To rebuild a table with ALTER
TABLE
, use a “null” alteration; that is,
an ALTER TABLE
statement that
“changes” the table to use the storage engine that
it already has. For example, if t1
is an
InnoDB
table, use this statement:
ALTER TABLE t1 ENGINE = InnoDB;
If you are not sure which storage engine to specify in the
ALTER TABLE
statement, use
SHOW CREATE TABLE
to display the
table definition.
The REPAIR TABLE
method is only
applicable to MyISAM
,
ARCHIVE
, and CSV
tables.
You can use REPAIR TABLE
if the
table checking operation indicates that there is a corruption or
that an upgrade is required. For example, to repair a
MyISAM
table, use this statement:
REPAIR TABLE t1;
mysqlcheck --repair provides command-line
access to the REPAIR TABLE
statement. This can be a more convenient means of repairing
tables because you can use the
--databases
or
--all-databases
option to
repair all tables in specific databases or all databases,
respectively:
mysqlcheck --repair --databases db_name
...
mysqlcheck --repair --all-databases
In cases where you need to transfer databases between different architectures, you can use mysqldump to create a file containing SQL statements. You can then transfer the file to the other machine and feed it as input to the mysql client.
Use mysqldump --help to see what options are available.
The easiest (although not the fastest) way to move a database between two machines is to run the following commands on the machine on which the database is located:
mysqladmin -h 'other_hostname
' createdb_name
mysqldumpdb_name
| mysql -h 'other_hostname
'db_name
If you want to copy a database from a remote machine over a slow network, you can use these commands:
mysqladmin createdb_name
mysqldump -h 'other_hostname
' --compressdb_name
| mysqldb_name
You can also store the dump in a file, transfer the file to the target machine, and then load the file into the database there. For example, you can dump a database to a compressed file on the source machine like this:
mysqldump --quickdb_name
| gzip >db_name
.gz
Transfer the file containing the database contents to the target machine and run these commands there:
mysqladmin createdb_name
gunzip <db_name
.gz | mysqldb_name
You can also use mysqldump and
mysqlimport to transfer the database. For large
tables, this is much faster than simply using
mysqldump. In the following commands,
DUMPDIR
represents the full path name
of the directory you use to store the output from
mysqldump.
First, create the directory for the output files and dump the database:
mkdirDUMPDIR
mysqldump --tab=DUMPDIR
db_name
Then transfer the files in the DUMPDIR
directory to some corresponding directory on the target machine
and load the files into MySQL there:
mysqladmin createdb_name
# create database catDUMPDIR
/*.sql | mysqldb_name
# create tables in database mysqlimportdb_name
DUMPDIR
/*.txt # load data into tables
Do not forget to copy the mysql
database
because that is where the grant tables are stored. You might have
to run commands as the MySQL root
user on the
new machine until you have the mysql
database
in place.
After you import the mysql
database on the new
machine, execute mysqladmin flush-privileges so
that the server reloads the grant table information.
The Perl DBI
module provides a generic interface
for database access. You can write a DBI
script
that works with many different database engines without change. To
use DBI
, you must install the
DBI
module, as well as a DataBase Driver (DBD)
module for each type of database server you want to access. For
MySQL, this driver is the DBD::mysql
module.
Perl support is not included with MySQL distributions. You can obtain the necessary modules from http://search.cpan.org for Unix, or by using the ActiveState ppm program on Windows. The following sections describe how to do this.
The DBI
/DBD
interface requires
Perl 5.6.0, and 5.6.1 or later is preferred. DBI does not
work if you have an older version of Perl. You should use
DBD::mysql
4.009 or higher. Although earlier
versions are available, they do not support the full functionality
of MySQL 8.0.
MySQL Perl support requires that you have installed MySQL client programming support (libraries and header files). Most installation methods install the necessary files. If you install MySQL from RPM files on Linux, be sure to install the developer RPM as well. The client programs are in the client RPM, but client programming support is in the developer RPM.
The files you need for Perl support can be obtained from the CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) at http://search.cpan.org.
The easiest way to install Perl modules on Unix is to use the
CPAN
module. For example:
shell>perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan>install DBI
cpan>install DBD::mysql
The DBD::mysql
installation runs a number of
tests. These tests attempt to connect to the local MySQL server
using the default user name and password. (The default user name
is your login name on Unix, and ODBC
on
Windows. The default password is “no password.”) If
you cannot connect to the server with those values (for example,
if your account has a password), the tests fail. You can use
force install DBD::mysql
to ignore the failed
tests.
DBI
requires the
Data::Dumper
module. It may be installed; if
not, you should install it before installing
DBI
.
It is also possible to download the module distributions in the form of compressed tar archives and build the modules manually. For example, to unpack and build a DBI distribution, use a procedure such as this:
Unpack the distribution into the current directory:
shell> gunzip < DBI-VERSION
.tar.gz | tar xvf -
This command creates a directory named
DBI-
.
VERSION
Change location into the top-level directory of the unpacked distribution:
shell> cd DBI-VERSION
Build the distribution and compile everything:
shell>perl Makefile.PL
shell>make
shell>make test
shell>make install
The make test command is important because it
verifies that the module is working. Note that when you run that
command during the DBD::mysql
installation to
exercise the interface code, the MySQL server must be running or
the test fails.
It is a good idea to rebuild and reinstall the
DBD::mysql
distribution whenever you install a
new release of MySQL. This ensures that the latest versions of the
MySQL client libraries are installed correctly.
If you do not have access rights to install Perl modules in the system directory or if you want to install local Perl modules, the following reference may be useful: http://learn.perl.org/faq/perlfaq8.html#How-do-I-keep-my-own-module-library-directory-
On Windows, you should do the following to install the MySQL
DBD
module with ActiveState Perl:
Get ActiveState Perl from http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/ and install it.
Open a console window.
If necessary, set the HTTP_proxy
variable.
For example, you might try a setting like this:
C:\> set HTTP_proxy=my.proxy.com:3128
Start the PPM program:
C:\> C:\perl\bin\ppm.pl
If you have not previously done so, install
DBI
:
ppm> install DBI
If this succeeds, run the following command:
ppm> install DBD-mysql
This procedure should work with ActiveState Perl 5.6 or higher.
If you cannot get the procedure to work, you should install the ODBC driver instead and connect to the MySQL server through ODBC:
use DBI; $dbh= DBI->connect("DBI:ODBC:$dsn",$user,$password) || die "Got error $DBI::errstr when connecting to $dsn\n";
If Perl reports that it cannot find the
../mysql/mysql.so
module, the problem is
probably that Perl cannot locate the
libmysqlclient.so
shared library. You should
be able to fix this problem by one of the following methods:
Copy libmysqlclient.so
to the directory
where your other shared libraries are located (probably
/usr/lib
or /lib
).
Modify the -L
options used to compile
DBD::mysql
to reflect the actual location
of libmysqlclient.so
.
On Linux, you can add the path name of the directory where
libmysqlclient.so
is located to the
/etc/ld.so.conf
file.
Add the path name of the directory where
libmysqlclient.so
is located to the
LD_RUN_PATH
environment variable. Some
systems use LD_LIBRARY_PATH
instead.
Note that you may also need to modify the -L
options if there are other libraries that the linker fails to
find. For example, if the linker cannot find
libc
because it is in /lib
and the link command specifies -L/usr/lib
, change
the -L
option to -L/lib
or add
-L/lib
to the existing link command.
If you get the following errors from
DBD::mysql
, you are probably using
gcc (or using an old binary compiled with
gcc):
/usr/bin/perl: can't resolve symbol '__moddi3' /usr/bin/perl: can't resolve symbol '__divdi3'
Add -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/... -lgcc
to the link
command when the mysql.so
library gets built
(check the output from make for
mysql.so
when you compile the Perl client).
The -L
option should specify the path name of the
directory where libgcc.a
is located on your
system.
Another cause of this problem may be that Perl and MySQL are not both compiled with gcc. In this case, you can solve the mismatch by compiling both with gcc.
