正常解释

%代表任何客户机都可以连接
localhost代表只可以本机连接

一般情况能访问本地数据库的都是加了权限了，一般都是禁止别的机器访问本地的mysql端口的，如果允许也是要加上指定ip才可以访问，这样才能保证数据库不会被远程访问。

1 前言

操作MySQL的时候发现，有时只建了%的账号，可以通过localhost连接，有时候却不可以，网上搜索也找不到满意的答案，干脆手动测试一波

2 两种连接方法

这里说的两种连接方法指是执行mysql命令时，-h参数填的是localhost还是IP, 两种连接方式的区别如下

-h 参数为 localhost
当-h参数为localhost的时候，实际上是使用socket连接的（默认连接方式）, 实例如下

[mysql@mysql-test-83 ~]$ /usr/local/mysql57/bin/mysql -utest_user -p -hlocalhost
Enter password:

mysql> status
/usr/local/mysql57/bin/mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.21, for linux-glibc2.12 (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper

Connection id: 9
Current database:
Current user: test_user@localhost
SSL: Not in use
Current pager: stdout
Using outfile: ''
Using delimiter: ;
Server version: 5.7.21-log MySQL Community Server (GPL)
Protocol version: 10
Connection: Localhost via UNIX socket

从Current user可以看到用户是xx@localhost, 连接方式为Localhost via UNIX socket

-h 参数为 IP

当-h参数为IP的时候，实际上是使用TCP连接的, 实例如下

[mysql@mysql-test-83 ~]$ /usr/local/mysql57/bin/mysql -utest_user -p -h227.0.0.1
Enter password:

mysql> status

/usr/local/mysql57/bin/mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.21, for linux-glibc2.12 (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper

Connection id: 11
Current database:
Current user: test_user@127.0.0.1
SSL: Cipher in use is DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA
Current pager: stdout
Using outfile: ''
Using delimiter: ;
Server version: 5.7.21-log MySQL Community Server (GPL)
Protocol version: 10
Connection: 127.0.0.1 via TCP/IP
Server characterset: utf8

从Current user可以看到用户是xx@127.0.0.1, 连接方式为TCP/IP

3 不同版本的差别

测试方法就是看能不能连接，如果不想看测试过程可以拉到最后看结论
