5.1.5 Server System Variable Reference

The following table lists all system variables applicable within mysqld.

The table lists command-line options (Cmd-line), options valid in configuration files (Option file), server system variables (System Var), and status variables (Status var) in one unified list, with an indication of where each option or variable is valid. If a server option set on the command line or in an option file differs from the name of the corresponding system variable, the variable name is noted immediately below the corresponding option. The scope of the variable (Var Scope) is Global, Session, or both. Please see the corresponding item descriptions for details on setting and using the variables. Where appropriate, direct links to further information about the items are provided.

Notes:

1. This option is dynamic, but only the server should set this information. You should not set the value of this variable manually.
