7.1. Advanced Options

To set advanced connection options, click the Details button and check the desired options:

  • Use compression protocol - Use compression when communicating with the MySQL server.

  • Use ANSI quotes to quote identifiers - enclose all object names in double-quotes instead of back-ticks.

  • Windows Only: Use named pipe (localhost only) is equivalent to starting the client from the command line specifying the --protocol=pipe option.

  • Unix Only: Connect using a socket file is equivalent to starting the client from the command line specifying the --protocol=socket option.

If you have difficulties connecting, please see the Troubleshooting Connection Errors section in the Troubleshooting Application Errors appendix.
