Synopsis

  • TCP port 9306 is the default SphinxQL (SQL) interface for Sphinx Search’s searchd, which speaks the MySQL/MariaDB wire protocol (e.g., mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -P 9306 to run queries).
  • Manticore Search (the actively maintained fork of Sphinx) also uses TCP 9306 by default for its SQL interface; official packages and Docker images expose 9306/tcp for client connections.
  • Security scanners and service databases (e.g., Nmap) label 9306/tcp as “sphinxql,” reflecting this common use.
  • In these ecosystems, 9312 is typically used for the legacy SphinxAPI, while 9306 is specifically for the SQL/MySQL-protocol endpoint.
