MySQL Bugs: #78882: Command Line Parameters for password in workbench

Bug #78882	Command Line Parameters for password in workbench
Submitted:	20 Oct 2015 10:45	Modified:	23 Aug 2021 7:16
Reporter:	Daniel Engels	Email Updates:
Status:	Verified	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Workbench	Severity:	S4 (Feature request)
Version:	8.0	OS:	Any
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any
Tags:	Commandline, password, workbench

Description:
To handle quite a lot of services and application, I developped a software to handle the connections.

It's very useful to have commandline-options to open a connection. (See: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/wb-launching-linux.html and http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=70134)

But it is not possible to give a password and connect with this password.

The old query browser was able to do that. See: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=7844

As I manage the connection in my own tool, it would be much easier to do that with an additional commandline-parameter

How to repeat:
start:
MySQLWorkbench.exe -query readuser@mysqlserver.com:3306

Suggested fix:
MySQLWorkbench.exe -query readuser:secretpassword@mysqlserver.com:3306
