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
Correct.
But what if mysqld restarts later in some other situations, like machine reboot, would my (global) change on max_connections remain?
No; you'll need to put it in my.cnf in order for it to persist after mysqld is shut down. -- Alex -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
