If set to false, the driver will only communicate with the database when the requested transaction isolation is different than the whichever is newer, the last value that was set via Connection.setTransactionIsolation(), or the value that was read from the server when the connection was established.  Note that useLocalSessionState=true will force the same behavior as alwaysSendSetIsolation=false, regardless of how alwaysSendSetIsolation is set.
  </Property>
  <Property name="maintainTimeStats" required="No" default="true" sortOrder="2147483647" since="3.1.9">
    Should the driver maintain various internal timers to enable idle time calculations as well as more verbose error messages when the connection to the server fails? Setting this property to false removes at least two calls to System.getCurrentTimeMillis() per query.

  </Property>
  <Property name="dontTrackOpenResources" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.1.7">
    The JDBC specification requires the driver to automatically track and close resources, however if your application doesn't do a good job of explicitly calling close() on statements or result sets, this can cause memory leakage. Setting this property to true relaxes this constraint, and can be more memory efficient for some applications.

  </Property>
  <Property name="enableQueryTimeouts" required="No" default="true" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.0.6">
    When enabled, query timeouts set via Statement.setQueryTimeout() use a shared java.util.Timer instance for scheduling. Even if the timeout doesn't expire before the query is processed, there will be memory used by the TimerTask for the given timeout which won't be reclaimed until the time the timeout would have expired if it hadn't been cancelled by the driver. High-load environments might want to consider disabling this functionality.

    If using a load-balanced connection to connect to SQL nodes in a MySQL Cluster/NDB configuration (by using the URL prefix "jdbc:mysql:loadbalance://"), which load balancing algorithm should the driver use: (1) "random" - the driver will pick a random host for each request. This tends to work better than round-robin, as the randomness will somewhat account for spreading loads where requests vary in response time, while round-robin can sometimes lead to overloaded nodes if there are variations in response times across the workload. (2) "bestResponseTime" - the driver will route the request to the host that had the best response time for the previous transaction.
  </Property>
  <Property name="locatorFetchBufferSize" required="No" default="1048576" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.2.1">
    If 'emulateLocators' is configured to 'true', what size buffer should be used when fetching BLOB data for getBinaryInputStream?
  </Property>
  <Property name="rewriteBatchedStatements" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.1.13">
    Should the driver use multiqueries (irregardless of the setting of "allowMultiQueries") as well as rewriting of prepared statements for INSERT into multi-value inserts when executeBatch() is called? Notice that this has the potential for SQL injection if using plain java.sql.Statements and your code doesn't sanitize input correctly. Notice that for prepared statements, server-side prepared statements can not currently take advantage of this rewrite option, and that if you don't specify stream lengths when using PreparedStatement.set*Stream(), the driver won't be able to determine the optimum number of parameters per batch and you might receive an error from the driver that the resultant packet is too large. Statement.getGeneratedKeys() for these rewritten statements only works when the entire batch includes INSERT statements.
  </Property>
  <Property name="useDirectRowUnpack" required="No" default="true" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.1.1">
    Use newer result set row unpacking code that skips a copy from network buffers  to a MySQL packet instance and instead reads directly into the result set row data buffers.
  </Property>
  <Property name="useDynamicCharsetInfo" required="No" default="true" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.0.6">

 </PropertyCategory>
 <PropertyCategory name="Miscellaneous">
  <Property name="useUnicode" required="No" default="true" sortOrder="0" since="1.1g">
    Should the driver use Unicode character encodings when handling strings? Should only be used when the driver can't determine the character set mapping, or you are trying to 'force' the driver to use a character set that MySQL either doesn't natively support (such as UTF-8), true/false, defaults to 'true'
  </Property>
  <Property name="characterEncoding" required="No" default="" sortOrder="5" since="1.1g">
    If 'useUnicode' is set to true, what character encoding should the driver use when dealing with strings? (defaults is to 'autodetect')

    A comma-delimited list of user-defined key:value pairs (in addition to standard MySQL-defined key:value pairs) to be passed to MySQL Server for display as connection attributes in the PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA.SESSION_CONNECT_ATTRS table.  Example usage:  connectionAttributes=key1:value1,key2:value2  This functionality is available for use with MySQL Server version 5.6 or later only.  Earlier versions of MySQL Server do not support connection attributes, causing this configuration option will be ignored.  Setting connectionAttributes=none will cause connection attribute processing to be bypassed, for situations where Connection creation/initialization speed is critical.
  </Property>
  <Property name="connectionCollation" required="No" default="" sortOrder="7" since="3.0.13">
    If set, tells the server to use this collation via 'set collation_connection'
  </Property>
  <Property name="useBlobToStoreUTF8OutsideBMP" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="128" since="5.1.3">
    Tells the driver to treat [MEDIUM/LONG]BLOB columns as [LONG]VARCHAR columns holding text encoded in UTF-8 that has characters outside the BMP (4-byte encodings), which MySQL server can't handle natively.
  </Property>
  <Property name="utf8OutsideBmpExcludedColumnNamePattern" required="No" default="" sortOrder="129" since="5.1.3">

  </Property>
  <Property name="useColumnNamesInFindColumn" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="2147483647" since="5.1.7">
    Prior to JDBC-4.0, the JDBC specification had a bug related to what could be given as a "column name" to ResultSet methods like findColumn(), or getters that took a String property. JDBC-4.0 clarified "column name" to mean the label, as given in an "AS" clause and returned by ResultSetMetaData.getColumnLabel(), and if no AS clause, the column name. Setting this property to "true" will give behavior that is congruent to JDBC-3.0 and earlier versions of the JDBC specification, but which because of the specification bug could give unexpected results. This property is preferred over "useOldAliasMetadataBehavior" unless you need the specific behavior that it provides with respect to ResultSetMetadata.

    Should the driver allow conversions from empty string fields to numeric values of '0'?
  </Property>
  <Property name="emulateLocators" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.1.0">
    Should the driver emulate java.sql.Blobs with locators? With this feature enabled, the driver will delay loading the actual Blob data until the one of the retrieval methods (getInputStream(), getBytes(), and so forth) on the blob data stream has been accessed. For this to work, you must use a column alias with the value of the column to the actual name of the Blob. The feature also has the following restrictions: The SELECT that created the result set must reference only one table, the table must have a primary key; the SELECT must alias the original blob column name, specified as a string, to an alternate name; the SELECT must cover all columns that make up the primary key. 
  </Property>
  <Property name="emulateUnsupportedPstmts" required="No" default="true" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.1.7">

  </Property>
  <Property name="generateSimpleParameterMetadata" required="No" default="false" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.0.5">
    Should the driver generate simplified parameter metadata for PreparedStatements when no metadata is available either because the server couldn't support preparing the statement, or server-side prepared statements are disabled?
  </Property>
  <Property name="getProceduresReturnsFunctions" required="No" default="true" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.1.26">
    Pre-JDBC4 DatabaseMetaData API has only the getProcedures() and getProcedureColumns() methods, so they return metadata info for both stored procedures and functions. JDBC4 was extended with the getFunctions() and getFunctionColumns() methods and the expected behaviours of previous methods are not well defined. For JDBC4 and higher, default 'true' value of the option means that calls of DatabaseMetaData.getProcedures() and DatabaseMetaData.getProcedureColumns() return metadata for both procedures and functions as before, keeping backward compatibility. Setting this property to 'false' decouples Connector/J from its pre-JDBC4 behaviours for DatabaseMetaData.getProcedures() and DatabaseMetaData.getProcedureColumns(), forcing them to return metadata for procedures only.
  </Property>

  <Property name="loadBalanceAutoCommitStatementThreshold" required="No" default="0" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.1.15">
    When auto-commit is enabled, the number of statements which should be executed before triggering load-balancing to rebalance.  Default value of 0 causes load-balanced connections to only rebalance when exceptions are encountered, or auto-commit is disabled and transactions are explicitly committed or rolled back.

  <Property name="loadBalanceSQLStateFailover" required="No" default="" sortOrder="alpha" since="5.1.13">
    Comma-delimited list of SQLState codes used by default load-balanced exception checker to determine whether a given SQLException should trigger failover.  The SQLState of a given SQLException is evaluated to determine whether it begins with any value in the comma-delimited list.

  </Property>
  <Property name="nullCatalogMeansCurrent" required="No" default="true" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.1.8">
    When DatabaseMetadataMethods ask for a 'catalog' parameter, does the value null mean use the current catalog? (this is not JDBC-compliant, but follows legacy behavior from earlier versions of the driver)
  </Property>
  <Property name="nullNamePatternMatchesAll" required="No" default="true" sortOrder="alpha" since="3.1.8">
    Should DatabaseMetaData methods that accept *pattern parameters treat null the same as '%' (this is not JDBC-compliant, however older versions of the driver accepted this departure from the specification)
