与任何工具一样，MySQL Shell 的开箱即用配置可能无法满足每个用户在任何情况下的需求。我们需要一种方法来轻松查看、更新和持续（如有必要）更改默认配置。有一条命令可以帮助我们管理 MySQL Shell 配置。这条命令就是 \option。

更新配置

语法格式：

\option {option name} {value}
或者
\option {option name=value}

例如，将verbose从 0 更改成 4：

 MySQL  localhost  JS > \option verbose
0
 MySQL  localhost  JS > \option verbose=4
 MySQL  localhost  JS > \option verbose
4
 MySQL  localhost  JS > 

使用以上更改方式，只是对当前会话有效。

更新持久化

语法格式：

\option --persist {option name=value}

在 版本 8.4之前，mysql shell 默认是使用js模式启动；自 8.4 开始，默认是以 sql 模式开启。

 MySQL  localhost  JS > \option defaultMode
none
 MySQL  localhost  JS > \option --persist defaultMode=js
 MySQL  localhost  JS > \option defaultMode
js
 MySQL  localhost  JS > \option --persist defaultMode=sql
 MySQL  localhost  JS > \option defaultMode
sql
 MySQL  localhost  JS > 

检查值的来源

语法格式：

\option -l --show-origin

例如：

  MySQL  localhost  JS > \option -l --show-origin
 autocomplete.nameCache          true (Compiled default)
 batchContinueOnError            false (Compiled default)
 connectTimeout                  10 (Compiled default)
 credentialStore.excludeFilters  [] (Compiled default)
 credentialStore.helper          default (Compiled default)
 credentialStore.savePasswords   prompt (Compiled default)
 dba.connectTimeout              5 (Compiled default)
 dba.connectivityChecks          true (Compiled default)
 dba.gtidWaitTimeout             60 (Compiled default)
 dba.logSql                      0 (Compiled default)
 dba.restartWaitTimeout          60 (Compiled default)
 defaultCompress                 false (Compiled default)
 defaultMode                     sql (User defined)
 devapi.dbObjectHandles          true (Compiled default)
 history.autoSave                false (Compiled default)

 history.sql.ignorePattern       *IDENTIFIED*:*PASSWORD* (Compiled default)
 history.sql.syslog              false (Compiled default)
 interactive                     true (Compiled default)
 logFile                         /root/.mysqlsh/mysqlsh.log (Compiled default)
 logLevel                        5 (Compiled default)
 logSql                          error (Compiled default)
 logSql.ignorePattern            *SELECT*:SHOW* (Compiled default)
 logSql.ignorePatternUnsafe      *IDENTIFIED*:*PASSWORD* (Compiled default)
 mysqlPluginDir                  /usr/local/mysql-shell-8.0.37-linux-glibc2.28-x86-64bit/lib/mysql/plugins (Compiled default)
 oci.configFile                  /root/.oci/config (Compiled default)
 oci.profile                     DEFAULT (Compiled default)
 outputFormat                    table (Compiled default)
 pager                           "" (Compiled default)
 passwordsFromStdin              false (Compiled default)
 resultFormat                    table (Compiled default)
 sandboxDir                      /root/mysql-sandboxes (Compiled default)
 showColumnTypeInfo              false (Compiled default)
 showWarnings                    true (Compiled default)
 ssh.bufferSize                  10240 (Compiled default)
 ssh.configFile                  "" (Compiled default)
 useWizards                      true (Compiled default)
 verbose                         4 (User defined)
 MySQL  localhost  JS > 

可以看到，很多值都是 Compiled default，有些是来自配置文件。

恢复模式设置

如果我们更改了配置，并希望将值恢复为默认值，我们可以使用以下语法将选项恢复为默认值。

语法格式：

\option --unset {option name}
或者
\option --unset --persist {option name}

例如：

 MySQL  localhost  JS > \option defaultMode
sql
 MySQL  localhost  JS > \option --unset --persist defaultMode
 MySQL  localhost  JS > \option defaultMode
none
 MySQL  localhost  JS >
