I have some local databases that contain lots of tables. I don't use the client's auto-complete feature, so I usually disable the auto rehash option. That makes the program loads faster. However, I forgot to add the -A when calling it. I was wondering if there is a way to set it by default without having to recompile it, perhaps through some config file. Is that possible?

I couldn't find anything related to that in the official docs, https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysql-command-options.html.

Try adding

[mysql]
skip_auto_rehash

to your config.

Or you can alias mysql to mysql -A at bash level by putting this in your .bashrc:

alias mysql='mysql -A'

  • I created a file at ~/.my.cnf with that entry you suggested and it worked. – Gustavo Straube Aug 24 '20 at 21:17
  • After using this setting for a while, I found out it doesn't work with mysqldump -- it's no needed actually -- then I change .my.cnf to have [mysql] instead of [client]. – Gustavo Straube Sep 2 '20 at 22:59
