how would mysqld restart affect dynamically set global variables?

2007-03-14 Thread Bing Du
Hi,

We're running mysql 4.1.20.  If I understand the manual correctly, I can
change max_connections while mysqld is running without restart mysqld to
make the change take effect.  But what if mysqld restarts later in some
other situations, like machine reboot, would my (global) change on
max_connections remain?  I'm just very clear when to make dynamic changes
and when is better to put changes in my.cnf.  Please advise.

Thanks in advance,

Bing

I believe it would revert back to the settings in your my.cnf file.  If 
you want the change to be permanent, then set it there.

Put the changes in dynamically.  If they work change the my.cnf to make
them survive the next time mysql is restarted (for example on a reboot).

Correct.

No; you'll need to put it in my.cnf in order for it to persist after
mysqld is shut down.
