That would start the server. > set the variable c:\>mysqld -O back_log=200 --help That doesn't set the variable. It just shows what the variables would be like if you had started mysqld with that parameter. To start with a back_log of 200, you must do: c:\>mysqld -O back_log 200 when mysqld is not running, then run mysqladmin variables to see if it was updated. -- Chris Bolt [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bolt.cx/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
