Hi all,
I'm wondering if I can set safe_show_database on my Windows 2000 MySQL 3.23.56-nt.
Here's what I did:

--- (c:\winnt\my.ini)
[mysqld]
set-variable = safe_show_database=1
---

-> NT Service didn't want to (re)start anymore.

---
mysql> show variables like "safe%";
+--------------------+-------+
| Variable_name      | Value |
+--------------------+-------+
| safe_show_database | OFF   |
+--------------------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> set session safe_show_database=ON;
ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'safe_show_database=ON' at line 1
mysql> set session safe_show_database;
ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'safe_show_database' at line 1
---

So why doesn't this work? I have successfully set the variable on my Linux box (same 
MySQL version):

--- (/etc/my.cnf)
[mysqld]
safe-show-database
---

Isn't this feature available on Windows? At least I've found nothing in the doc that 
would say so.
Ok, I couldn't set it to OFF on my Linux either, inside the mysql shell. That's 
another point, why can't I set a mysql variable with SET command? What the heck is 
going on in there?
