No, you've got it the wrong way round. When a new client connects, it's session variables are initialised from the global values. Thus, if your global value is 3G, new clients will get a session value of 3G. If your appplication or the client subsequently decides to set the session value to 10M, *then* it will be 10M. Open a new terminal and make a new connection, then look at the session variables. If they're still different from the global value, something is setting them upon connect. Check for a .my.cnf file in your homedir, aliases or wrapper scripts for the mysql client, etc. -- Bier met grenadyn Is als mosterd by den wyn Sy die't drinkt, is eene kwezel Hy die't drinkt, is ras een ezel -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql
