https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/connecting.html "The default user name is ODBC on Windows or your Unix login name on Unix."
Description: E:\mysql-5.7.17-win32\bin>mysql ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO) I've never seen any benefit for this default username to be 'ODBC'?? The code looks like: #else /* If Windows */ void read_user_name(char *name) { char *str=getenv("USER"); /* ODBC will send user variable */ strmake(name,str ? str : "ODBC", USERNAME_LENGTH); } How to repeat: set USER= mysql.exe --no-defaults Suggested fix: please don't set the user to ODBC if none is provided. use similar logic as linux platforms. or use any empty username.
