Hello, I'm using MySQL Version 3.22.34 on WinNT (it's still shareware) in combination with MyODBC. And now I received the following message from another program using this database: "SQL-State: S1000 [TCX][MyODBC] Too many connections" Therefore I read the manual and found out, that I have to set the variable max_connections at a higher value. I did it in a separate file, called my.ini: [mysqld] basedir=D:\\Programme\\MySQL set_variable = max_connections=300 I started MySQL with: D:\Programme\MySQL\bin\mysqld-shareware.exe --defaults-file=d:\winnt\my.ini And it doesn't work (that's the problem). I receive the following message: " D:\Programme\MySQL\bin\mysqld-shareware.exe: unrecognized option `--set_variable=max_connections=300' " I also tried to start the server with -O max_connections=300 and it didn't work, too. Is there anybody who can help me? Thanks a lot, Ron --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
