I just curious about the configuration and want to know you developers' thinking. I apologize if I gave you the impression of complaining by asking questions. Basically, I'm new to MySQL and find MySQL really take care about lots of things to give users an easy job. For example, the unit, the enumeration options, all are case insensitive -- "512K" and "512k" means the same size, "MIXED" and "mixed" means the same option, etc. Having such impression, when MySQL tells me 'Port' is unknown, it did take me some time to figure it out. Maybe simply because all the other servers I used like PostgreSQL, httpd, etc are case insensitive. That's the whole story, and that's why I ask on the forum, being curious about the reason. It's fine that you told me it's simply because you developers assume nobody "came to the idea write options not EXACTLY like they are in the documentation", so you simply do not want to do it. But I do not buy this, because MySQL developers do take care a lot of things (as unit and options I mentioned). T -- Tianyin XU, http://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~tixu/
