Some MySQL features are client features, not server features. Dolt ships with a client (ie.
dolt sql or dolt sql-client) and a server (dolt sql-server). The Dolt client is not as sophisticated as the mysql client. To access these features you can use the mysql client that ships with MySQL.Feature | Supported | Notes and limitations |

SOURCE | ❌ | Works with Dolt via the mysql client |
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE | ❌ | LOAD DATA INFILE works with the Dolt client. The LOCAL option only works with Dolt via the mysql client |
Dolt supports the following join hints:
name | supported | detail |
|---|---|---|
JOIN_ORDER(,...) | ✅ | Join tree in scope should use the following join execution order. Must include all table names. |
LOOKUP_JOIN(,) | ✅ | Use LOOKUP strategy joining two tables. |
MERGE_JOIN(,) | ✅ | Use MERGE strategy joining two tables. |
HASH_JOIN(,) | ✅ | Use HASH strategy joining two tables. |
INNER_JOIN(,) | ✅ | Use INNER strategy joining two tables. |
SEMI_JOIN(,) | ❌ | Use SEMI strategy joining two tables. |
ANTI_JOIN(,) | ❌ | Use ANTI strategy joining two tables. |
JOIN_FIXED_ORDER | ❌ | Join tree uses in-place table order for execution. |
NO_ICP | ❌ | Disable indexed range scans on index using filters. |
Join hints are indicated immediately after a
SELECT token in a special comment format /*+ */. Multiple hints should be separated by spaces:SELECT /*+ JOIN_ORDER(arg1,arg2) */ 1
SELECT /*+ JOIN_ORDER(arg1,arg2) NO_ICP */ 1
Join hints currently require a full set of valid hints for all to be applied. For example, if we have a three table join we can enforce JOIN_ORDER on its own, join strategies on their own, or both order and strategy:
SELECT /*+ JOIN_ORDER(xy,uv,ab) LOOKUP_JOIN(xy,uv) HASH_JOIN(uv,ab) */ 1
FROM xy
JOIN uv on x = u
JOIN ab on a = u;
Additional notes:
- If one hint is invalid given the execution options, no hints are applied and the engine falls back to default costing.
- Join operator hints are order-insensitive
- Join operator hints apply as long as the indicated tables are subsets of the join left/right.
Dolt supports a subset of the character sets and collations that MySQL supports. Notably, the default character set is
utf8mb4, while the default collation is utf8mb4_0900_bin (a case-sensitive collation). This default was chosen as it has the fastest implementation, and also from a legacy perspective, as before proper collation support was added, it was the only real collation that we supported. This differs from a standard MySQL instance, which defaults to utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci (a case-insensitive collation). Character sets and collations are added upon request, so please file an issue if a character set or collation that you need is missing.Collation | Character Set | Supported |
