# MySQL Interface {#mysql-interface}
ClickHouse supports MySQL wire protocol. It can be enabled by [mysql\_port](../operations/server-configuration-parameters/settings.md#server_configuration_parameters-mysql_port) setting in configuration file:
``` xml
<mysql_port>9004</mysql_port>
```
Example of connecting using command-line tool `mysql`:
``` bash
$ mysql --protocol tcp -u default -P 9004
```
Output if a connection succeeded:
``` text
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 4

For compatibility with all MySQL clients, it is recommended to specify user password with [double SHA1](../operations/settings/settings-users.md#password_double_sha1_hex) in configuration file.
If user password is specified using [SHA256](../operations/settings/settings-users.md#password_sha256_hex), some clients wont be able to authenticate (mysqljs and old versions of command-line tool mysql).
Restrictions:
- prepared queries are not supported
- some data types are sent as strings
