Configuration properties define how Connector/J will make a connection to a MySQL server. Unless otherwise noted, properties can be set for a DataSource object or for a Connection object.

Configuration properties can be set in one of the following ways:

Using the set*() methods on MySQL implementations of java.sql.DataSource (which is the preferred method when using implementations of java.sql.DataSource):
- com.mysql.cj.jdbc.MysqlDataSource
- com.mysql.cj.jdbc.MysqlConnectionPoolDataSource
As a key-value pair in the java.util.Properties instance passed to DriverManager.getConnection() or Driver.connect()
As a JDBC URL parameter in the URL given to java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(), java.sql.Driver.connect() or the MySQL implementations of the javax.sql.DataSource setURL() method. If you specify a configuration property in the URL without providing a value for it, nothing will be set; for example, adding useServerPrepStmts alone to the URL does not make Connector/J use server-side prepared statements; you need to add useServerPrepStmts=true.

Note

If the mechanism you use to configure a JDBC URL is XML-based, use the XML character literal & to separate configuration parameters, as the ampersand is a reserved character for XML.

The properties are listed by categories in the following tables and then in the subsections that follow. Click on a property name in the tables to see its full description in the subsections.
