Feature Description
Since MySQL 8.4 the mysql command (mysql-client) fires a select $$ as part of the connection process after asking for the server version. manticoresearch ran into the same problem: manticoresoftware/manticoresearch#2772
manticoresearch's solution is to ignore it in the query log: manticoresoftware/manticoresearch@0a481dd
I think this is appropriate since it appears hardcoded in newer clients for some reason (tested Oracle MySQL client and the Percona fork, same result).
Here is the commit that adds this to the MySQL client: mysql/mysql-server@9c7bc29
Link to code: https://github.com/mysql/mysql-server/blob/447eb26e094b444a88c532028647e48228c3c04f/client/mysql.cc#L1288-L1292
The client is just using it to check if $$ is supported as quotes.
Use Case(s)
For integration load testing I have scripts that spin up a lot of parallel connections to the database, and every time a mysql client initiates a new connection to the server I get a log message in the vtgate log about the invalid query. As it's a hard-coded query that is meaningless (as far as I can tell) and completely out of my control, that is just unnecessary noise in the query log.
