Connect to MySQL/MariaDB from command line client using URI connection string?
<p>A database connection string given the URI pattern: </p>
<pre class="brush:php;toolbar:false;">mysql://<user>:<pass>@<host>:<port>/<database></pre>
<p>Is there a way to use this string directly in the MySQL command line client without breaking it into the familiar <code>mysql -u <user> -h <host> -p ... </code> Format? < /p>
<p>I found some discussion about this here, but the suggested option <code>--uri</code> does not exist in my client (mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.11.2-MariaDB). </p>
