Re: mysqldump complains about .my.cnf variables meant for mysql client

[Jeremy Smyth]

From http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/option-files.html :

The [client] option group is read by all client programs (but not by mysqld). This enables you to specify options that apply to all clients... Be sure not to put an option in the [client] group unless it is recognized by all client programs that you use.

Later on the same page, it shows an example of using an option group specifically for individual client programs such as mysql and mysqldump:


[mysqldump]
quick
...
[mysql]
no-auto-rehash
connect_timeout=2
