# MySQL Interface
ClickHouse supports MySQL wire protocol. To enable the MySQL wire protocol, add the [mysql_port](../operations/server-configuration-parameters/settings.md#server_configuration_parameters-mysql_port) setting to your server's configuration file. For example, you could define the port in a new XML file in your `config.d` folder:
``` xml
<clickhouse>
<mysql_port>9004</mysql_port>
</clickhouse>
```
Startup your ClickHouse server and look for a log message similar to the following that mentions Listening for MySQL compatibility protocol:
```
{} <Information> Application: Listening for MySQL compatibility protocol: 127.0.0.1:9004
```
## Connect mysql to ClickHouse
The following command demonstrates how to connect the MySQL client `mysql` to ClickHouse:
```bash
mysql --protocol tcp -h [hostname] -u [username] -P [port_number] [database_name]
```
For example:
``` bash
$ mysql --protocol tcp -h 127.0.0.1 -u default -P 9004 default
```
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 and MariaDB).
Restrictions:
- prepared queries are not supported
- some data types are sent as strings
To cancel a long query use `KILL QUERY connection_id` statement (it is replaced with `KILL QUERY WHERE query_id = connection_id` while proceeding). For example:
``` bash
$ mysql --protocol tcp -h mysql_server -P 9004 default -u default --password=123 -e "KILL QUERY 123456;"
```
