## MySQL Server Instance Configuration File Template ## ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Version 1.0.2 ## ## Lines that starts like this are comments and wont be put in the output. ## Normal comments are output. ## ## Replaceable things must be like: ## ## <<{:=1+1}>> ## ## You can put more than one optional expression one after another. ## The option to be picked is the one that contains the correct ## config option tag before the : You can specify multiple optional ## tags by separating them with a | Example: ## ## <<{:=1+1}{:BLA|BLE=1+[one]}>> ## ## An empty tag is the default value. ## ## All expressions are evaluated as doubles, but rounded to integers. ## ## If you don't put a = after the :, the remaining expression will be ## interpreted as a string and variables will be simply replaced. ## ## If an expression is enclosed with <<< >>> (instead of << >>), the ## line will not be written to the output file. You can use that for ## temporary variables. ## ## You can put the following flags between : and = for arithmetical ## expressions: ## R - round to nearest multiple of 1000 ## K - round to nearest multiple of 1K or 1M or 1G ## M - take max value, from list separated by commas ## m - same for min ## N - allow negative result. ## ## pick appropriate values for these _memory=<<<{SERVER:K=[MEMORY]/2}{DEDICATED:K=[MEMORY]*90/100}{:MK=[MEMORY]/12,48M}>>> _myisam_pct=<<<{MYISAM:=100}{INNODB:=5}{USERDEF_DB:=[myisam_pct]}{:=50}>>> _active_connections=<<<{DSS:=20}{OLTP:=500}{:=[active_connections]}>>> _over_commit_factor=<<<{:=10}>>> _over_commit_factor2=<<<{:=10}>>> ## ## ## # MySQL Server Instance Configuration File # ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # Generated by the MySQL Server Instance Configuration Wizard # # # Installation Instructions # ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # # On Linux you can copy this file to /etc/my.cnf to set global options, # mysql-data-dir/my.cnf to set server-specific options # (@localstatedir@ for this installation) or to # ~/.my.cnf to set user-specific options. # # On Windows you should keep this file in the installation directory # of your server (e.g. C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server X.Y).
