</Property>
<Property name="dontTrackOpenResources" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.1.7">
The JDBC specification requires the driver to automatically track and close resources, however if your application doesn't do a good job of explicitly calling close() on statements or result sets, this can cause memory leakage. Setting this property to true relaxes this constraint, and can be more memory efficient for some applications.

</Property>
<Property name="enableQueryTimeouts" required="No" default="true" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.0.6">
When enabled, query timeouts set via Statement.setQueryTimeout() use a shared java.util.Timer instance for scheduling. Even if the timeout doesn't expire before the query is processed, there will be memory used by the TimerTask for the given timeout which won't be reclaimed until the time the timeout would have expired if it hadn't been cancelled by the driver.

If using a load-balanced connection to connect to SQL nodes in a MySQL Cluster/NDB configuration (by using the URL prefix "jdbc:mysql:loadbalance://"), which load balancing algorithm should the driver use: (1) "random" - the driver will pick a random host for each request. This tends to work better than round-robin, as the randomness will somewhat account for spreading loads where requests vary in response time, while round-robin can sometimes lead to overloaded nodes if there are variations in response times across the workload. (2) "bestResponseTime" - the driver will route the request to the host that had the best response time for the previous transaction.
</Property>
<Property name="locatorFetchBufferSize" required="No" default="1048576" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.2.1">
If 'emulateLocators' is configured to 'true', what size buffer should be used when fetching BLOB data for getBinaryInputStream?
</Property>
<Property name="rewriteBatchedStatements" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.1.13">
Should the driver use multiqueries (irregardless of the setting of "allowMultiQueries") as well as rewriting of prepared statements for INSERT into multi-value inserts when executeBatch() is called? Notice that this has the potential for SQL injection if using plain java.sql.Statements and your code doesn't sanitize input correctly. Notice that for prepared statements, server-side prepared statements can not currently take advantage of this rewrite option, and that if you don't specify stream lengths when using PreparedStatement.set*Stream(), the driver won't be able to determine the optimum number of parameters per batch and you might receive an error from the driver that the resultant packet is too large. Statement.getGeneratedKeys() for these rewritten statements only works when the entire batch includes INSERT statements.
</Property>
<Property name="useDirectRowUnpack" required="No" default="true" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.1.1">
Use newer result set row unpacking code that skips a copy from network buffers to a MySQL packet instance and instead reads directly into the result set row data buffers.

Prior to JDBC-4.0, the JDBC specification had a bug related to what could be given as a "column name" to ResultSet methods like findColumn(), or getters that took a String property. JDBC-4.0 clarified "column name" to mean the label, as given in an "AS" clause and returned by ResultSetMetaData.getColumnLabel(), and if no AS clause, the column name. Setting this property to "true" will give behavior that is congruent to JDBC-3.0 and earlier versions of the JDBC specification, but which because of the specification bug could give unexpected results. This property is preferred over "useOldAliasMetadataBehavior" unless you need the specific behavior that it provides with respect to ResultSetMetadata.

<Property name="allowNanAndInf" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.1.5">
Should the driver allow NaN or +/- INF values in PreparedStatement.setDouble()?
</Property>
<Property name="autoClosePStmtStreams" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.1.12">
Should the driver automatically call .close() on streams/readers passed as arguments via set*() methods?
</Property>
<Property name="autoDeserialize" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.1.5">
Should the driver automatically detect and de-serialize objects stored in BLOB fields?
</Property>
<Property name="blobsAreStrings" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.0.8">
Should the driver always treat BLOBs as Strings - specifically to work around dubious metadata returned by the server for GROUP BY clauses?
</Property>
<Property name="capitalizeTypeNames" required="No" default="true" sortOrder="alpha" since="2.0.7">
Capitalize type names in DatabaseMetaData? (usually only useful when using WebObjects, true/false, defaults to 'false')
</Property>
<Property name="clobCharacterEncoding" required="No" default="" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.0.0">
The character encoding to use for sending and retrieving TEXT, MEDIUMTEXT and LONGTEXT values instead of the configured connection characterEncoding
</Property>
<Property name="clobberStreamingResults" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.0.9">
This will cause a 'streaming' ResultSet to be automatically closed, and any outstanding data still streaming from the server to be discarded if another query is executed before all the data has been read from the server.
</Property>
<Property name="compensateOnDuplicateKeyUpdateCounts" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.1.7">
Should the driver compensate for the update counts of "ON DUPLICATE KEY" INSERT statements (2 = 1, 0 = 1) when using prepared statements?
</Property>
<Property name="continueBatchOnError" required="No" default="true" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.0.3">
Should the driver continue processing batch commands if one statement fails. The JDBC spec allows either way (defaults to 'true').
</Property>
<Property name="createDatabaseIfNotExist" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.1.9">
Creates the database given in the URL if it doesn't yet exist. Assumes the configured user has permissions to create databases.

Should the driver allow conversions from empty string fields to numeric values of '0'?
</Property>
<Property name="emulateLocators" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.1.0">
Should the driver emulate java.sql.Blobs with locators? With this feature enabled, the driver will delay loading the actual Blob data until the one of the retrieval methods (getInputStream(), getBytes(), and so forth) on the blob data stream has been accessed. For this to work, you must use a column alias with the value of the column to the actual name of the Blob. The feature also has the following restrictions: The SELECT that created the result set must reference only one table, the table must have a primary key; the SELECT must alias the original blob column name, specified as a string, to an alternate name; the SELECT must cover all columns that make up the primary key.
</Property>
<Property name="emulateUnsupportedPstmts" required="No" default="true" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.1.7">

</Property>
<Property name="functionsNeverReturnBlobs" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.0.8">

</Property>
<Property name="generateSimpleParameterMetadata" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.0.5">
Should the driver generate simplified parameter metadata for PreparedStatements when no metadata is available either because the server couldn't support preparing the statement, or server-side prepared statements are disabled?
</Property>

Ignore non-transactional table warning for rollback? (defaults to 'false').
</Property>
<Property name="jdbcCompliantTruncation" required="No" default="true" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.1.2">
Should the driver throw java.sql.DataTruncation exceptions when data is truncated as is required by the JDBC specification when connected to a server that supports warnings (MySQL 4.1.0 and newer)? This property has no effect if the server sql-mode includes STRICT_TRANS_TABLES.
</Property>
<Property name="loadBalanceBlacklistTimeout" required="No" default="0" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.1.0">
Time in milliseconds between checks of servers which are unavailable.

The maximum number of rows to return (0, the default means return all rows).
</Property>
<Property name="netTimeoutForStreamingResults" required="No" default="600" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.1.0">
What value should the driver automatically set the server setting 'net_write_timeout' to when the streaming result sets feature is in use? (value has unit of seconds, the value '0' means the driver will not try and adjust this value)
</Property>
<Property name="noAccessToProcedureBodies" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.0.3">
When determining procedure parameter types for CallableStatements, and the connected user can't access procedure bodies through "SHOW CREATE PROCEDURE" or select on mysql.proc should the driver instead create basic metadata (all parameters reported as IN VARCHARs, but allowing registerOutParameter() to be called on them anyway) instead of throwing an exception?
</Property>
<Property name="noDatetimeStringSync" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.1.7">
Don't ensure that ResultSet.getDatetimeType().toString().equals(ResultSet.getString())
</Property>
<Property name="noTimezoneConversionForTimeType" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.0.0">
Don't convert TIME values using the server timezone if 'useTimezone'='true'
</Property>
<Property name="nullCatalogMeansCurrent" required="No" default="true" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.1.8">
When DatabaseMetadataMethods ask for a 'catalog' parameter, does the value null mean use the current catalog? (this is not JDBC-compliant, but follows legacy behavior from earlier versions of the driver)
</Property>
<Property name="nullNamePatternMatchesAll" required="No" default="true" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.1.8">
Should DatabaseMetaData methods that accept *pattern parameters treat null the same as '%' (this is not JDBC-compliant, however older versions of the driver accepted this departure from the specification)
</Property>
<Property name="overrideSupportsIntegrityEnhancementFacility" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.1.12">
Should the driver return "true" for DatabaseMetaData.supportsIntegrityEnhancementFacility() even if the database doesn't support it to workaround applications that require this method to return "true" to signal support of foreign keys, even though the SQL specification states that this facility contains much more than just foreign key support (one such application being OpenOffice)?
</Property>
<Property name="padCharsWithSpace" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.0.6">
If a result set column has the CHAR type and the value does not fill the amount of characters specified in the DDL for the column, should the driver pad the remaining characters with space (for ANSI compliance)?

Follow the JDBC spec to the letter.
</Property>
<Property name="pinGlobalTxToPhysicalConnection" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.0.1">
When using XAConnections, should the driver ensure that operations on a given XID are always routed to the same physical connection? This allows the XAConnection to support "XA START ... JOIN" after "XA END" has been called
</Property>
<Property name="populateInsertRowWithDefaultValues" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.0.5">
When using ResultSets that are CONCUR_UPDATABLE, should the driver pre-populate the "insert" row with default values from the DDL for the table used in the query so those values are immediately available for ResultSet accessors? This functionality requires a call to the database for metadata each time a result set of this type is created. If disabled (the default), the default values will be populated by the an internal call to refreshRow() which pulls back default values and/or values changed by triggers.
</Property>
<Property name="processEscapeCodesForPrepStmts" required="No" default="true" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.1.12">
Should the driver process escape codes in queries that are prepared?
</Property>
<Property name="queryTimeoutKillsConnection" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.1.9">
If the timeout given in Statement.setQueryTimeout() expires, should the driver forcibly abort the Connection instead of attempting to abort the query?
</Property>
<Property name="relaxAutoCommit" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="2.0.13">
If the version of MySQL the driver connects to does not support transactions, still allow calls to commit(), rollback() and setAutoCommit() (true/false, defaults to 'false')?
</Property>
<Property name="retainStatementAfterResultSetClose" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.1.11">
Should the driver retain the Statement reference in a ResultSet after ResultSet.close() has been called. This is not JDBC-compliant after JDBC-4.0.

Enables workarounds for bugs in Sun's JDBC compliance testsuite version 1.3
</Property>
<Property name="serverTimezone" required="No" default="" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.0.2">
Override detection/mapping of timezone. Used when timezone from server doesn't map to Java timezone
</Property>
<Property name="statementInterceptors" required="No" default="" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.1.1">
A comma-delimited list of classes that implement "com.mysql.jdbc.StatementInterceptor" that should be placed "in between" query execution to influence the results. StatementInterceptors are "chainable", the results returned by the "current" interceptor will be passed on to the next in in the chain, from left-to-right order, as specified in this property.
</Property>
<Property name="strictFloatingPoint" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.0.0">
Used only in older versions of compliance test
</Property>
<Property name="strictUpdates" required="No" default="true" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.0.4">

</Property>
<Property name="tinyInt1isBit" required="No" default="true" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.0.16">
Should the driver treat the datatype TINYINT(1) as the BIT type (because the server silently converts BIT -> TINYINT(1) when creating tables)?
</Property>
<Property name="transformedBitIsBoolean" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.1.9">
If the driver converts TINYINT(1) to a different type, should it use BOOLEAN instead of BIT for future compatibility with MySQL-5.0, as MySQL-5.0 has a BIT type?
</Property>
<Property name="treatUtilDateAsTimestamp" required="No" default="true" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.0.5">
Should the driver treat java.util.Date as a TIMESTAMP for the purposes of PreparedStatement.setObject()?
</Property>
<Property name="ultraDevHack" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="2.0.3">
Create PreparedStatements for prepareCall() when required, because UltraDev is broken and issues a prepareCall() for _all_ statements? (true/false, defaults to 'false')
</Property>
<Property name="useAffectedRows" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.1.7">
Don't set the CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS flag when connecting to the server (not JDBC-compliant, will break most applications that rely on "found" rows vs. "affected rows" for DML statements), but does cause "correct" update counts from "INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE" statements to be returned by the server.
</Property>
<Property name="useGmtMillisForDatetimes" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.1.12">
Convert between session timezone and GMT before creating Date and Timestamp instances (value of "false" is legacy behavior, "true" leads to more JDBC-compliant behavior.

<Property name="useJDBCCompliantTimezoneShift" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.0.0">
Should the driver use JDBC-compliant rules when converting TIME/TIMESTAMP/DATETIME values' timezone information for those JDBC arguments which take a java.util.Calendar argument? (Notice that this option is exclusive of the "useTimezone=true" configuration option.)
</Property>
<Property name="useLegacyDatetimeCode" required="No" default="true" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.1.6">
Use code for DATE/TIME/DATETIME/TIMESTAMP handling in result sets and statements that consistently handles timezone conversions from client to server and back again, or use the legacy code for these datatypes that has been in the driver for backwards-compatibility?
</Property>
<Property name="useOldAliasMetadataBehavior" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.0.4">
Should the driver use the legacy behavior for "AS" clauses on columns and tables, and only return aliases (if any) for ResultSetMetaData.getColumnName() or ResultSetMetaData.getTableName() rather than the original column/table name? In 5.0.x, the default value was true.
</Property>

</Property>
<Property name="useStreamLengthsInPrepStmts" required="No" default="true" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.0.2">
Honor stream length parameter in PreparedStatement/ResultSet.setXXXStream() method calls (true/false, defaults to 'true')?
</Property>
<Property name="useTimezone" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.0.2">
