From `man mclient` or http://www.monetdb.org/Documentation/mclient-man-page :

"
Before mclient starts parsing command line options, it reads a .monetdb file. If the environment variable DOTMONETDBFILE is set, it reads the file pointed to by that variable instead. When unset, mclient searches for a .monetdb file in the current working directory, and if that doesn’t exist, in the current user’s home directory. This file can contain defaults for the flags user, password, language, save_history, format and width. For example, an entry in a .monetdb file that sets the default language for mclient to mal looks like this: language=mal. To disable reading the .monetdb file, set the variable DOTMONETDBFILE to the empty string in the environment.
