mysqlcc, the MySQL Control Center, is a platform-independent client that provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to the MySQL database server. It supports interactive use, including syntax highlighting and tab completion. It provides database and table management, and allows server administration.
mysqlcc is deprecated and it is recommended that users choose the new MySQL Administrator and MySQL Query Browser, found at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/.
Currently, mysqlcc runs on Windows and Linux platforms.
Invoke mysqlcc by double-clicking its icon in a graphical environment. From the command line, invoke it like this:
shell> mysqlcc [options]
mysqlcc supports the following options:
--help, -?
Display a help message and exit.
--blocking_queries, -b
Use blocking queries.
--compress, -C
Compress all information sent between the client and the server if both support compression.
--connection_name=
name, -c
name
This option is a synonym for --server.
--database=
db_name, -d
db_name
The database to use. This is useful mainly in an option file.
--history_size=
#, -H
#
The history size for the query window.
--host=
host_name, -h
host_name

--local-infile[={0|1}]
Enable or disable LOCAL capability for
LOAD DATA INFILE. With no value, the option
enables LOCAL. It may be given as
--local-infile=0 or
--local-infile=1 to explicitly disable or enable
LOCAL. Enabling LOCAL has no
effect if the server does not also support it.
--password[=
password],
-p[password]
The password to use when connecting to the server. If you use the
short option form (-p), you
cannot have a space between the option and the
password. If you omit the password value
following the --password or -p
option on the command line, you are prompted for one.
--plugins_path=

You can also set the following variables by using
--
