history
Project history and usage
The `mysql-client@8.0` formula packages the client-side tools for the MySQL 8.0 series, separating the CLI utilities from a full local server install. It inherits the broader MySQL history: MySQL was founded in 1995 by Allan Larsson, David Axmark, and Michael "Monty" Widenius, grew through early web and Linux adoption, moved to the GPL during the MySQL 3.23 era, was acquired by Sun in 2008, and came under Oracle through Oracle's acquisition of Sun.
Project history
MySQL 8.0 was a major technical generation. Oracle's 8.0 manual highlights a transactional data dictionary replacing older metadata files and nontransactional tables, atomic DDL, and automatic server-side upgrade work that formerly depended on `mysql_upgrade`. The 8.0 release notes list the GA line beginning with 8.0.11 on 2018-04-19 and running through 8.0.46, with the notes marking 8.0.46 as the April 2026 EOL point for the series.
How it is used
For users, the Homebrew `@8.0` formula preserves access to the 8.0-compatible client command set: `mysql` for SQL sessions and scripts, `mysqldump` and `mysqlpump` for logical export workflows, `mysqladmin` for server operations, `mysqlcheck` for table maintenance, `mysqlbinlog` for binary log inspection, and helper programs such as `mysql_config_editor`. It is useful when applications, servers, or deployment policies remain pinned to the 8.0 protocol and tooling behavior rather than the unversioned client package.

Recommended review
Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
