MySQL 8.0 Database Administrator — Question 80

Which four connection methods can MySQL clients specify with the --protocol option when connecting to a MySQL server? (Choose four.)

Answer options

• A. TCP
• B. SOCKET
• C. PIPE
• D. DIRECT
• E. IPv6
• F. FILE
• G. IPv4
• H. MEMORY

Correct answer: A, B, C, H

Explanation

The correct options are TCP, SOCKET, PIPE, and MEMORY, as these are valid connection methods for MySQL clients. DIRECT, IPv6, FILE, and IPv4 are not options that can be specified with the --protocol flag in this context, as they do not represent valid protocols for MySQL client connections.
