DescriptionEngineering Ticket Description: On Unix, MySQL programs treat the host name, localhost specially, in a way that is likely different from what you expect compared to other network-based programs. For connections to localhost, MySQL programs attempt to connect to the local server by using a Unix socket file. This occurs even if a --port or -P option is given to specify a port number. To ensure that our clients have a seamless experience, we should support unix sockets when possible. This will also be helpful for clients connecting with BI tools such as Tableau. See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/connecting.html for more See also https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/server-options.html#option_mysqld_socket Help text:
Note that the socket name is always "mysql.sock", so by default the full path to the socket is "/tmp/mysql.sock" |

Already documented here: https://docs-mongodbcom-staging.corp.mongodb.com/bi-connector/andrew/sqlproxy/reference/mongosqld.html#socket-options. But should mention that the socket name is mysql.sock. |
