MySQL DBC Driver

Property Name	Description	Reqired	Choices	Sample Value
HOST	Hostname of MySQL Server	true		192.168.0.88
PORT	Port number of MySQL Server	false		3306
DBNAME	Database name	false		win_mys
user	Username to authenticate as	true		bizteco
password	Password to use for authentication	true		btc7btc
allowLoadLocalInfile	Should the driver allow use of 'LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE...' (defaults to 'true').	false	true false yes no	true
allowMultiQueries	Allow the use of ';' to delimit multiple queries during one statement (true/false), defaults to 'false', and does not affect the addBatch() and executeBatch() methods, which instead rely on rewriteBatchStatements.	false	true false yes no	false
allowNanAndInf	Should the driver allow NaN or +/- INF values in PreparedStatement.setDouble()?	false	true false yes no	false
allowUrlInLocalInfile	Should the driver allow URLs in 'LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE' statements?	false	true false yes no	false
alwaysSendSetIsolation	Should the driver always communicate with the database when Connection.setTransactionIsolation() is called? If set to false, the driver will only communicate with the database when the requested transaction isolation is different than the whichever is newer, the last value that was set via Connection.setTransactionIsolation(), or the value that was read from the server when the connection was established. Note that useLocalSessionState=true will force the same behavior as alwaysSendSetIsolation=false, regardless of how alwaysSendSetIsolation is set.	false	true false yes no	true
autoClosePStmtStreams	Should the driver automatically call .close() on streams/readers passed as arguments via set*() methods?	false	true false yes no	false
autoDeserialize	Should the driver automatically detect and de-serialize objects stored in BLOB fields?	false	true false yes no	false
autoGenerateTestcaseScript	Should the driver dump the SQL it is executing, including server-side prepared statements to STDERR?	false	true false yes no	false
autoReconnect	Should the driver try to re-establish stale and/or dead connections? If enabled the driver will throw an exception for a queries issued on a stale or dead connection, which belong to the current transaction, but will attempt reconnect before the next query issued on the connection in a new transaction. The use of this feature is not recommended, because it has side effects related to session state and data consistency when applications don't handle SQLExceptions properly, and is only designed to be used when you are unable to configure your application to handle SQLExceptions resulting from dead and stale connections properly. Alternatively, as a last option, investigate setting the MySQL server variable "wait_timeout" to a high value, rather than the default of 8 hours.	false	true false yes no	false

blobSendChunkSize	Chunk to use when sending BLOB/CLOBs via ServerPreparedStatements	false		1048576
autoSlowLog	Instead of using slowQueryThreshold* to determine if a query is slow enough to be logged, maintain statistics that allow the driver to determine queries that are outside the 99th percentile?	false	true false yes no	true
blobsAreStrings	Should the driver always treat BLOBs as Strings - specifically to work around dubious metadata returned by the server for GROUP BY clauses?	false	true false yes no	false

clobberStreamingResults	This will cause a 'streaming' ResultSet to be automatically closed, and any outstanding data still streaming from the server to be discarded if another query is executed before all the data has been read from the server.	false	true false yes no	false
clobCharacterEncoding	The character encoding to use for sending and retrieving TEXT, MEDIUMTEXT and LONGTEXT values instead of the configured connection characterEncoding	false		null
compensateOnDuplicateKeyUpdateCounts	Should the driver compensate for the update counts of "ON DUPLICATE KEY" INSERT statements (2 = 1, 0 = 1) when using prepared statements?	false	true false yes no	false
connectionCollation	If set, tells the server to use this collation via 'set collation_connection'	false		null
connectionLifecycleInterceptors	A comma-delimited list of classes that implement "com.mysql.jdbc.ConnectionLifecycleInterceptor" that should notified of connection lifecycle events (creation, destruction, commit, rollback, setCatalog and setAutoCommit) and potentially alter the execution of these commands. ConnectionLifecycleInterceptors are "stackable", more than one interceptor may be specified via the configuration property as a comma-delimited list, with the interceptors executed in order from left to right.	false		null
connectTimeout	Timeout for socket connect (in milliseconds), with 0 being no timeout. Only works on JDK-1.4 or newer. Defaults to '0'.	false		0
continueBatchOnError	Should the driver continue processing batch commands if one statement fails. The JDBC spec allows either way (defaults to 'true').	false	true false yes no	true
createDatabaseIfNotExist	Creates the database given in the URL if it doesn't yet exist. Assumes the configured user has permissions to create databases.	false	true false yes no	false
defaultFetchSize	The driver will call setFetchSize(n) with this value on all newly-created Statements	false		0
useServerPrepStmts	Use server-side prepared statements if the server supports them?	false	true false yes no	false
dontTrackOpenResources	The JDBC specification requires the driver to automatically track and close resources, however if your application doesn't do a good job of explicitly calling close() on statements or result sets, this can cause memory leakage. Setting this property to true relaxes this constraint, and can be more memory efficient for some applications.	false	true false yes no	false

emptyStringsConvertToZero	Should the driver allow conversions from empty string fields to numeric values of '0'?	false	true false yes no	true
emulateLocators	Should the driver emulate java.sql.Blobs with locators? With this feature enabled, the driver will delay loading the actual Blob data until the one of the retrieval methods (getInputStream(), getBytes(), and so forth) on the blob data stream has been accessed. For this to work, you must use a column alias with the value of the column to the actual name of the Blob. The feature also has the following restrictions: The SELECT that created the result set must reference only one table, the table must have a primary key; the SELECT must alias the original blob column name, specified as a string, to an alternate name; the SELECT must cover all columns that make up the primary key.	false	true false yes no	false
emulateUnsupportedPstmts	Should the driver detect prepared statements that are not supported by the server, and replace them with client-side emulated versions?	false	true false yes no	true

enableQueryTimeouts	When enabled, query timeouts set via Statement.setQueryTimeout() use a shared java.util.Timer instance for scheduling. Even if the timeout doesn't expire before the query is processed, there will be memory used by the TimerTask for the given timeout which won't be reclaimed until the time the timeout would have expired if it hadn't been cancelled by the driver. High-load environments might want to consider disabling this functionality.	false	true false yes no	true
explainSlowQueries	If 'logSlowQueries' is enabled, should the driver automatically issue an 'EXPLAIN' on the server and send the results to the configured log at a WARN level?	false	true false yes no	false

failOverReadOnly	When failing over in autoReconnect mode, should the connection be set to 'read-only'?	false	true false yes no	true
gatherPerfMetrics	Should the driver gather performance metrics, and report them via the configured logger every 'reportMetricsIntervalMillis' milliseconds?	false	true false yes no	false
generateSimpleParameterMetadata	Should the driver generate simplified parameter metadata for PreparedStatements when no metadata is available either because the server couldn't support preparing the statement, or server-side prepared statements are disabled?	false	true false yes no	false
holdResultsOpenOverStatementClose	Should the driver close result sets on Statement.close() as required by the JDBC specification?	false	true false yes no	false
includeInnodbStatusInDeadlockExceptions	Include the output of "SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS" in exception messages when deadlock exceptions are detected?	false	true false yes no	false
includeThreadDumpInDeadlockExceptions	Include a current Java thread dump in exception messages when deadlock exceptions are detected?	false	true false yes no	false
includeThreadNamesAsStatementComment	Include the name of the current thread as a comment visible in "SHOW PROCESSLIST", or in Innodb deadlock dumps, useful in correlation with "includeInnodbStatusInDeadlockExceptions=true" and "includeThreadDumpInDeadlockExceptions=true".	false	true false yes no	false
ignoreNonTxTables	Ignore non-transactional table warning for rollback? (defaults to 'false').	false	true false yes no	false
initialTimeout	If autoReconnect is enabled, the initial time to wait between re-connect attempts (in seconds, defaults to '2').	false		2
interactiveClient	Set the CLIENT_INTERACTIVE flag, which tells MySQL to timeout connections based on INTERACTIVE_TIMEOUT instead of WAIT_TIMEOUT	false	true false yes no	false
jdbcCompliantTruncation	Should the driver throw java.sql.DataTruncation exceptions when data is truncated as is required by the JDBC specification when connected to a server that supports warnings (MySQL 4.1.0 and newer)? This property has no effect if the server sql-mode includes STRICT_TRANS_TABLES.	false	true false yes no	true

loadBalanceStrategy	If using a load-balanced connection to connect to SQL nodes in a MySQL Cluster/NDB configuration (by using the URL prefix "jdbc:mysql:loadbalance://"), which load balancing algorithm should the driver use: (1) "random" - the driver will pick a random host for each request. This tends to work better than round-robin, as the randomness will somewhat account for spreading loads where requests vary in response time, while round-robin can sometimes lead to overloaded nodes if there are variations in response times across the workload. (2) "bestResponseTime" - the driver will route the request to the host that had the best response time for the previous transaction.	false		random
loadBalanceBlacklistTimeout	Time in milliseconds between checks of servers which are unavailable, by controlling how long a server lives in the global blacklist.	false		0
loadBalancePingTimeout	Time in milliseconds to wait for ping response from each of load-balanced physical connections when using load-balanced Connection.	false		0

loadBalanceSQLStateFailover	Comma-delimited list of SQLState codes used by default load-balanced exception checker to determine whether a given SQLException should trigger failover. The SQLState of a given SQLException is evaluated to determine whether it begins with any value in the comma-delimited list.	false		null
loadBalanceSQLExceptionSubclassFailover	Comma-delimited list of classes/interfaces used by default load-balanced exception checker to determine whether a given SQLException should trigger failover. The comparison is done using Class.isInstance(SQLException) using the thrown SQLException.	false		null
loadBalanceEnableJMX	Enables JMX-based management of load-balanced connection groups, including live addition/removal of hosts from load-balancing pool.	false	true false yes no	false
loadBalanceAutoCommitStatementRegex	When load-balancing is enabled for auto-commit statements (via loadBalanceAutoCommitStatementThreshold), the statement counter will only increment when the SQL matches the regular expression. By default, every statement issued matches.	false		null
loadBalanceAutoCommitStatementThreshold	When auto-commit is enabled, the number of statements which should be executed before triggering load-balancing to rebalance. Default value of 0 causes load-balanced connections to only rebalance when exceptions are encountered, or auto-commit is disabled and transactions are explicitly committed or rolled back.	false		0
localSocketAddress	Hostname or IP address given to explicitly configure the interface that the driver will bind the client side of the TCP/IP connection to when connecting.	false		null

metadataCacheSize	The number of queries to cache ResultSetMetadata for if cacheResultSetMetaData is set to 'true' (default 50)	false		50
netTimeoutForStreamingResults	What value should the driver automatically set the server setting 'net_write_timeout' to when the streaming result sets feature is in use? (value has unit of seconds, the value '0' means the driver will not try and adjust this value)	false		600
noAccessToProcedureBodies	When determining procedure parameter types for CallableStatements, and the connected user can't access procedure bodies through "SHOW CREATE PROCEDURE" or select on mysql.proc should the driver instead create basic metadata (all parameters reported as IN VARCHARs, but allowing registerOutParameter() to be called on them anyway) instead of throwing an exception?	false	true false yes no	false

paranoid	Take measures to prevent exposure sensitive information in error messages and clear data structures holding sensitive data when possible? (defaults to 'false')	false	true false yes no	false
pedantic	Follow the JDBC spec to the letter.	false	true false yes no	false
pinGlobalTxToPhysicalConnection	When using XAConnections, should the driver ensure that operations on a given XID are always routed to the same physical connection? This allows the XAConnection to support "XA START ... JOIN" after "XA END" has been called	false	true false yes no	false
populateInsertRowWithDefaultValues	When using ResultSets that are CONCUR_UPDATABLE, should the driver pre-populate the "insert" row with default values from the DDL for the table used in the query so those values are immediately available for ResultSet accessors? This functionality requires a call to the database for metadata each time a result set of this type is created. If disabled (the default), the default values will be populated by the an internal call to refreshRow() which pulls back default values and/or values changed by triggers.	false	true false yes no	false

profileSQL	Trace queries and their execution/fetch times to the configured logger (true/false) defaults to 'false'	false	true false yes no	false
propertiesTransform	An implementation of com.mysql.jdbc.ConnectionPropertiesTransform that the driver will use to modify URL properties passed to the driver before attempting a connection	false		null
queriesBeforeRetryMaster	Number of queries to issue before falling back to master when failed over (when using multi-host failover). Whichever condition is met first, 'queriesBeforeRetryMaster' or 'secondsBeforeRetryMaster' will cause an attempt to be made to reconnect to the master. Defaults to 50.	false		50
queryTimeoutKillsConnection	If the timeout given in Statement.setQueryTimeout() expires, should the driver forcibly abort the Connection instead of attempting to abort the query?	false	true false yes no	false
reconnectAtTxEnd	If autoReconnect is set to true, should the driver attempt reconnections at the end of every transaction?	false	true false yes no	false

retainStatementAfterResultSetClose	Should the driver retain the Statement reference in a ResultSet after ResultSet.close() has been called. This is not JDBC-compliant after JDBC-4.0.	false	true false yes no	false
rewriteBatchedStatements	Should the driver use multiqueries (irregardless of the setting of "allowMultiQueries") as well as rewriting of prepared statements for INSERT into multi-value inserts when executeBatch() is called? Notice that this has the potential for SQL injection if using plain java.sql.Statements and your code doesn't sanitize input correctly. Notice that for prepared statements, server-side prepared statements can not currently take advantage of this rewrite option, and that if you don't specify stream lengths when using PreparedStatement.set*Stream(), the driver won't be able to determine the optimum number of parameters per batch and you might receive an error from the driver that the resultant packet is too large. Statement.getGeneratedKeys() for these rewritten statements only works when the entire batch includes INSERT statements.	false	true false yes no	false
rollbackOnPooledClose	Should the driver issue a rollback() when the logical connection in a pool is closed?	false	true false yes no	true
roundRobinLoadBalance	When autoReconnect is enabled, and failoverReadonly is false, should we pick hosts to connect to on a round-robin basis?	false	true false yes no	false

serverTimezone	Override detection/mapping of timezone. Used when timezone from server doesn't map to Java timezone	false		null
sessionVariables	A comma-separated list of name/value pairs to be sent as SET SESSION ... to the server when the driver connects.	false		null
slowQueryThresholdMillis	If 'logSlowQueries' is enabled, how long should a query (in ms) before it is logged as 'slow'?	false		2000
slowQueryThresholdNanos	If 'useNanosForElapsedTime' is set to true, and this property is set to a non-zero value, the driver will use this threshold (in nanosecond units) to determine if a query was slow.	false		0
socketFactory	The name of the class that the driver should use for creating socket connections to the server. This class must implement the interface 'com.mysql.jdbc.SocketFactory' and have public no-args constructor.	false		com.mysql.jdbc.StandardSocketFactory
socketTimeout	Timeout on network socket operations (0, the default means no timeout).	false		0
statementInterceptors	A comma-delimited list of classes that implement "com.mysql.jdbc.StatementInterceptor" that should be placed "in between" query execution to influence the results.

strictFloatingPoint	Used only in older versions of compliance test	false	true false yes no	false
strictUpdates	Should the driver do strict checking (all primary keys selected) of updatable result sets (true, false, defaults to 'true')?	false	true false yes no	true
overrideSupportsIntegrityEnhancementFacility	Should the driver return "true" for DatabaseMetaData.supportsIntegrityEnhancementFacility() even if the database doesn't support it to workaround applications that require this method to return "true" to signal support of foreign keys, even though the SQL specification states that this facility contains much more than just foreign key support (one such application being OpenOffice)?	false	true false yes no	false
tcpNoDelay	If connecting using TCP/IP, should the driver set SO_TCP_NODELAY (disabling the Nagle Algorithm)?	false	true false yes no	true
tcpKeepAlive	If connecting using TCP/IP, should the driver set SO_KEEPALIVE?	false	true false yes no	true
tcpRcvBuf	If connecting using TCP/IP, should the driver set SO_RCV_BUF to the given value? The default value of '0', means use the platform default value for this property)	false		0
tcpSndBuf	If connecting using TCP/IP, should the driver set SO_SND_BUF to the given value? The default value of '0', means use the platform default value for this property)	false		0
tcpTrafficClass	If connecting using TCP/IP, should the driver set traffic class or type-of-service fields ?See the documentation for java.net.Socket.setTrafficClass() for more information.	false		0
tinyInt1isBit	Should the driver treat the datatype TINYINT(1) as the BIT type (because the server silently converts BIT -> TINYINT(1) when creating tables)?	false	true false yes no	true
traceProtocol	Should trace-level network protocol be logged?	false	true false yes no	false
treatUtilDateAsTimestamp	Should the driver treat java.util.Date as a TIMESTAMP for the purposes of PreparedStatement.setObject()?	false	true false yes no	true

useBlobToStoreUTF8OutsideBMP	Tells the driver to treat [MEDIUM/LONG]BLOB columns as [LONG]VARCHAR columns holding text encoded in UTF-8 that has characters outside the BMP (4-byte encodings), which MySQL server can't handle natively.	false	true false yes no	false
utf8OutsideBmpExcludedColumnNamePattern	When "useBlobToStoreUTF8OutsideBMP" is set to "true", column names matching the given regex will still be treated as BLOBs unless they match the regex specified for "utf8OutsideBmpIncludedColumnNamePattern". The regex must follow the patterns used for the java.util.regex package.	false		null
utf8OutsideBmpIncludedColumnNamePattern	Used to specify exclusion rules to "utf8OutsideBmpExcludedColumnNamePattern". The regex must follow the patterns used for the java.util.regex package.	false		null
useCompression	Use zlib compression when communicating with the server (true/false)? Defaults to 'false'.	false	true false yes no	false
useColumnNamesInFindColumn	Prior to JDBC-4.0, the JDBC specification had a bug related to what could be given as a "column name" to ResultSet methods like findColumn(), or getters that took a String property. JDBC-4.0 clarified "column name" to mean the label, as given in an "AS" clause and returned by ResultSetMetaData.getColumnLabel(), and if no AS clause, the column name. Setting this property to "true" will give behavior that is congruent to JDBC-3.0 and earlier versions of the JDBC specification, but which because of the specification bug could give unexpected results. This property is preferred over "useOldAliasMetadataBehavior" unless you need the specific behavior that it provides with respect to ResultSetMetadata.	false	true false yes no	false
useConfigs	Load the comma-delimited list of configuration properties before parsing the URL or applying user-specified properties. These configurations are explained in the 'Configurations' of the documentation.	false		null

useDynamicCharsetInfo	Should the driver use a per-connection cache of character set information queried from the server when necessary, or use a built-in static mapping that is more efficient, but isn't aware of custom character sets or character sets implemented after the release of the JDBC driver?	false	true false yes no	true
useDirectRowUnpack	Use newer result set row unpacking code that skips a copy from network buffers to a MySQL packet instance and instead reads directly into the result set row data buffers.	false	true false yes no	true
useFastIntParsing	Use internal String->Integer conversion routines to avoid excessive object creation?	false	true false yes no	true
useFastDateParsing	Use internal String->Date/Time/Timestamp conversion routines to avoid excessive object creation?	false	true false yes no	true

useJDBCCompliantTimezoneShift	Should the driver use JDBC-compliant rules when converting TIME/TIMESTAMP/DATETIME values' timezone information for those JDBC arguments which take a java.util.Calendar argument? (Notice that this option is exclusive of the "useTimezone=true" configuration option.)	false	true false yes no	false
useLocalSessionState	Should the driver refer to the internal values of autocommit and transaction isolation that are set by Connection.setAutoCommit() and Connection.setTransactionIsolation() and transaction state as maintained by the protocol, rather than querying the database or blindly sending commands to the database for commit() or rollback() method calls?	false	true false yes no	false
useLocalTransactionState	Should the driver use the in-transaction state provided by the MySQL protocol to determine if a commit() or rollback() should actually be sent to the database?	false	true false yes no	false

In 5.0.x, the default value was true.	false	true false yes no	false
useOldUTF8Behavior	Use the UTF-8 behavior the driver did when communicating with 4.0 and older servers	false	true false yes no	false
useOnlyServerErrorMessages	Don't prepend 'standard' SQLState error messages to error messages returned by the server.	false	true false yes no	true
useReadAheadInput	Use newer, optimized non-blocking, buffered input stream when reading from the server?	false	true false yes no	true
useSqlStateCodes	Use SQL Standard state codes instead of 'legacy' X/Open/SQL state codes (true/false), default is 'true'	false	true false yes no	true

useSSPSCompatibleTimezoneShift	If migrating from an environment that was using server-side prepared statements, and the configuration property "useJDBCCompliantTimeZoneShift" set to "true", use compatible behavior when not using server-side prepared statements when sending TIMESTAMP values to the MySQL server.	false	true false yes no	false
useStreamLengthsInPrepStmts	Honor stream length parameter in PreparedStatement/ResultSet.setXXXStream() method calls (true/false, defaults to 'true')?	false	true false yes no	true
useTimezone	Convert time/date types between client and server timezones (true/false, defaults to 'false')?	false	true false yes no	false
ultraDevHack	Create PreparedStatements for prepareCall() when required, because UltraDev is broken and issues a prepareCall() for _all_ statements? (true/false, defaults to 'false')	false	true false yes no	false
useUnbufferedInput	Don't use BufferedInputStream for reading data from the server	false	true false yes no	true
useUnicode	Should the driver use Unicode character encodings when handling strings? Should only be used when the driver can't determine the character set mapping, or you are trying to 'force' the driver to use a character set that MySQL either doesn't natively support (such as UTF-8), true/false, defaults to 'true'	false	true false yes no	true
useUsageAdvisor	Should the driver issue 'usage' warnings advising proper and efficient usage of JDBC and MySQL Connector/J to the log (true/false, defaults to 'false')?	false	true false yes no	false
yearIsDateType	Should the JDBC driver treat the MySQL type "YEAR" as a java.sql.Date, or as a SHORT?	false	true false yes no	true
zeroDateTimeBehavior	What should happen when the driver encounters DATETIME values that are composed entirely of zeros (used by MySQL to represent invalid dates)? Valid values are "exception", "round" and "convertToNull".	false	exception round convertToNull	exception
useJvmCharsetConverters	Always use the character encoding routines built into the JVM, rather than using lookup tables for single-byte character sets?	false	true false yes no	false
useGmtMillisForDatetimes	Convert between session timezone and GMT before creating Date and Timestamp instances (value of "false" is legacy behavior, "true" leads to more JDBC-compliant behavior.	false	true false yes no	false
dumpMetadataOnColumnNotFound	Should the driver dump the field-level metadata of a result set into the exception message when ResultSet.findColumn() fails?	false	true false yes no	false
clientCertificateKeyStoreUrl	URL to the client certificate KeyStore (if not specified, use defaults)	false		null
trustCertificateKeyStoreUrl	URL to the trusted root certificate KeyStore (if not specified, use defaults)	false		null
clientCertificateKeyStoreType	KeyStore type for client certificates (NULL or empty means use the default, which is "JKS". Standard keystore types supported by the JVM are "JKS" and "PKCS12", your environment may have more available depending on what security products are installed and available to the JVM.	false		JKS
clientCertificateKeyStorePassword	Password for the client certificates KeyStore	false		null
trustCertificateKeyStoreType	KeyStore type for trusted root certificates (NULL or empty means use the default, which is "JKS". Standard keystore types supported by the JVM are "JKS" and "PKCS12", your environment may have more available depending on what security products are installed and available to the JVM.	false		JKS
trustCertificateKeyStorePassword	Password for the trusted root certificates KeyStore	false		null
verifyServerCertificate	If "useSSL" is set to "true", should the driver verify the server's certificate? When using this feature, the keystore parameters should be specified by the "clientCertificateKeyStore*" properties, rather than system properties.	false	true false yes no	true
useAffectedRows	Don't set the CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS flag when connecting to the server (not JDBC-compliant, will break most applications that rely on "found" rows vs. "affected rows" for DML statements), but does cause "correct" update counts from "INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE" statements to be returned by the server.	false	true false yes no	false
passwordCharacterEncoding	What character encoding is used for passwords? Leaving this set to the default value (null), uses the platform character set, which works for ISO8859_1 (i.e. "latin1") passwords. For passwords in other character encodings, the encoding will have to be specified with this property, as it's not possible for the driver to auto-detect this.	false		null
maxAllowedPacket	Maximum allowed packet size to send to server. If not set, the value of system variable 'max_allowed_packet' will be used to initialize this upon connecting. This value will not take effect if set larger than the value of 'max_allowed_packet'.	false		-1
authenticationPlugins	Comma-delimited list of classes that implement com.mysql.jdbc.AuthenticationPlugin and which will be used for authentication unless disabled by "disabledAuthenticationPlugins" property.	false		null
disabledAuthenticationPlugins	Comma-delimited list of classes implementing com.mysql.jdbc.AuthenticationPlugin or mechanisms, i.e. "mysql_native_password". The authentication plugins or mechanisms listed will not be used for authentication which will fail if it requires one of them. It is an error to disable the default authentication plugin (either the one named by "defaultAuthenticationPlugin" property or the hard-coded one if "defaultAuthenticationPlugin" propery is not set).	false		null
defaultAuthenticationPlugin	Name of a class implementing com.mysql.jdbc.AuthenticationPlugin which will be used as the default authentication plugin (see below). It is an error to use a class which is not listed in "authenticationPlugins" nor it is one of the built-in plugins. It is an error to set as default a plugin which was disabled with "disabledAuthenticationPlugins" property. It is an error to set this value to null or the empty string (i.e. there must be at least a valid default authentication plugin specified for the connection, meeting all constraints listed above).	false		com.mysql.jdbc.authentication.MysqlNativePasswordPlugin
