I don't see that even this would be mentioned in the docs, and I suppose a default install of Drizzle has no configuration file with it, so...
If I wanted to have a configuration file for Drizzle, what would I traditionally call it? /etc/drizzle/drizzle.cnf? Or perhaps drizzled.cnf - see next question... A MySQL my.cnf conf containts [sections]. Each section contains parameters for different binaries, so you have [mysqld], [mysql] and so on... In Drizzle, this is not the case. The configuration file looks the same, so you can have sections, but they refer to plugins/namespace, not the binary name: *** Config files support section headers such as `[innodb]` with all options occuring subsequently being prefixed by the section header. For instance, if one were do give: .. code-block:: ini [innodb] buffer_pool_size=10M log_file_size=5M It would be the same as: .. code-block:: ini innodb.buffer_pool_size=10M innodb.log_file_size *** So this means, all of the configuration file is read by drizzled and only drizzled. If I wanted to also have a configuration file for the drizzle client, I presume I would need to have a different file? Except it seems drizzle client doesn't even read a configuration file: $ bin/drizzle --defaults-file=etc/drizzle.conf Error:unknown option defaults-file On the other hand, there still seems to be a --no-defaults switch? $ bin/drizzle --no-defaults Welcome to the Drizzle client.. Commands end with ; or \g. Your Drizzle connection id is 1 Connection protocol: mysql So I guess I'm just a very confused Drizzle user, but essentially my question is: If I wanted to use a configuration file for the drizzle client, how would that work? henrik -- [email protected] +358-40-8211286 skype: henrik.ingo irc: hingo www.openlife.cc My LinkedIn profile: http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=9522559 _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
