.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The
\fBmysqltest\fR
program runs a test case against a MySQL server and optionally compares the output with a result file\&. This program reads input written in a special test language\&. Typically, you invoke
\fBmysqltest\fR
using
\fBmysql\-test\-run\&.pl\fR
rather than invoking it directly\&.
.PP
\fBmysqltest_embedded\fR
is similar but is built with support for the
libmysqld
embedded server\&.
.PP
Features of
\fBmysqltest\fR:

Can connect to an embedded server (libmysqld), if MySQL is compiled with support for
libmysqld\&. (In this case, the executable is named
\fBmysqltest_embedded\fR
rather than
\fBmysqltest\fR\&.)
.RE
.PP
By default,
\fBmysqltest\fR
reads the test case on the standard input\&. To run
\fBmysqltest\fR
this way, you normally invoke it like this:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
shell> \fBmysqltest [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB] [\fR\fB\fIdb_name\fR\fR\fB] < \fR\fB\fItest_file\fR\fR
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
You can also name the test case file with a
\fB\-\-test\-file=\fR\fB\fIfile_name\fR\fR
option\&.
.PP
The exit value from
\fBmysqltest\fR
is 0 for success, 1 for failure, and 62 if it skips the test case (for example, if after checking some preconditions it decides not to run the test)\&.
.PP
\fBmysqltest\fR
supports the following options:
.sp

The path name to a file containing the server RSA public key\&. The file must be in PEM format\&. The public key is used for RSA encryption of the client password for connections to the server made using accounts that authenticate with the

The server sends the public key to the client as needed, so it is not necessary to use this option for RSA password encryption to occur\&. It is more efficient to do so because then the server need not send the key\&.
