mariadbd & mysqld for MariaDB Enterprise Server 10.2

Overview

The mysqld utility runs the server process for MariaDB Enterprise Server 10.2. It is generally started using the systemd process management system.

MariaDB Enterprise Server 10.2 does not provide a symbolic link to the utility's new name (mariadbd), so the legacy name must be used.

mysqld Options for MariaDB Enterprise Server 10.2

Option

Description

--allow-suspicious-udfs

Allows use of UDFs consisting of only one symbol xxx() without corresponding xxx_init() or xxx_deinit(). That also means that one can load any function from any library, for example exit() from libc.so

--ansi (-a)

Use ANSI SQL syntax instead of MySQL syntax. This mode will also set transaction isolation level 'serializable'.

--aria-block-size

Block size to be used for Aria index pages.

--aria-checkpoint-interval

Interval between tries to do an automatic checkpoints. In seconds; 0 means 'no automatic checkpoints' which makes sense only for testing.

--aria-checkpoint-log-activity

Number of bytes that the transaction log has to grow between checkpoints before a new checkpoint is written to the log.

--aria-encrypt-tables

Encrypt tables (only for tables with ROW_FORMAT=PAGE (default) and not FIXED/DYNAMIC)

--aria-force-start-after-recovery-failures

Number of consecutive log recovery failures after which logs will be automatically deleted to cure the problem; 0 (the default) disables the feature.

--aria-group-commit

Specifies Aria group commit mode. Possible values are "none" (no group commit), "hard" (with waiting to actual commit), "soft" (no wait for commit (DANGEROUS!!!))

--aria-group-commit-interval

Interval between commite in microseconds (1/1000000c). 0 stands for no waiting for other threads to come and do a commit in "hard" mode and no sync()/commit at all in "soft" mode. Option has only an effect if aria_group_commit is used

--aria-log-dir-path

Path to the directory where to store transactional log

--aria-log-file-size

Limit for transaction log size

--aria-log-purge-type

Specifies how Aria transactional log will be purged. One of: immediate, external, at_flush

--aria-max-sort-file-size

Don't use the fast sort index method to created index if the temporary file would get bigger than this.

--aria-page-checksum

Maintain page checksums (can be overridden per table with PAGE_CHECKSUM clause in CREATE TABLE) (Defaults to on; use --skip-aria-page-checksum to disable.)

--aria-pagecache-age-threshold

This characterizes the number of hits a hot block has to be untouched until it is considered aged enough to be downgraded to a warm block. This specifies the percentage ratio of that number of hits to the total number of blocks in the page cache.

--aria-pagecache-buffer-size

The size of the buffer used for index blocks for Aria tables. Increase this to get better index handling (for all reads and multiple writes) to as much as you can afford.

--aria-pagecache-division-limit

The minimum percentage of warm blocks in key cache

--aria-pagecache-file-hash-size

Number of hash buckets for open and changed files. If you have a lot of Aria files open you should increase this for faster flush of changes. A good value is probably 1/10 of number of possible open Aria files.

--aria-recover-options

Specifies how corrupted tables should be automatically repaired. Any combination of: NORMAL, BACKUP, FORCE, QUICK, OFF

--aria-repair-threads

Number of threads to use when repairing Aria tables. The value of 1 disables parallel repair.

--aria-sort-buffer-size

The buffer that is allocated when sorting the index when doing a REPAIR or when creating indexes with CREATE INDEX or ALTER TABLE.

--aria-stats-method

Specifies how Aria index statistics collection code should treat NULLs. One of: nulls_unequal, nulls_equal, nulls_ignored

--aria-sync-log-dir

Controls syncing directory after log file growth and new file creation. One of: NEVER, NEWFILE, ALWAYS

--auto-increment-increment

Auto-increment columns are incremented by this

--auto-increment-offset

Offset added to Auto-increment columns. Used when auto-increment-increment != 1

--autocommit

Set default value for autocommit (0 or 1) (Defaults to on; use --skip-autocommit to disable.)

--automatic-sp-privileges

Creating and dropping stored procedures alters ACLs (Defaults to on; use --skip-automatic-sp-privileges to disable.)

--back-log

The number of outstanding connection requests MariaDB can have. This comes into play when the main MariaDB thread gets very many connection requests in a very short time (Automatically configured unless set explicitly)

--basedir (-b)

Path to installation directory. All paths are usually resolved relative to this

--big-tables

Old variable, which if set to 1, allows large result sets by saving all temporary sets to disk, avoiding 'table full' errors. No longer needed, as the server now handles this automatically. sql_big_tables is a synonym.

--bind-address

IP address to bind to.

--binlog-annotate-row-events

Tells the master to annotate RBR events with the statement that caused these events (Defaults to on; use --skip-binlog-annotate-row-events to disable.)

--binlog-cache-size

The size of the transactional cache for updates to transactional engines for the binary log. If you often use transactions containing many statements, you can increase this to get more performance

--binlog-checksum

Type of BINLOG_CHECKSUM_ALG. Include checksum for log events in the binary log. One of: NONE, CRC32

--binlog-commit-wait-count

If non-zero, binlog write will wait at most binlog_commit_wait_usec microseconds for at least this many commits to queue up for group commit to the binlog. This can reduce I/O on the binlog and provide increased opportunity for parallel apply on the slave, but too high a value will decrease commit throughput.

--binlog-commit-wait-usec

Maximum time, in microseconds, to wait for more commits to queue up for binlog group commit. Only takes effect if the value of binlog_commit_wait_count is non-zero.

--binlog-direct-non-transactional-updates

Causes updates to non-transactional engines using statement format to be written directly to binary log. Before using this option make sure that there are no dependencies between transactional and non-transactional tables such as in the statement INSERT INTO t_myisam SELECT * FROM t_innodb; otherwise, slaves may diverge from the master.

--binlog-do-db

Tells the master it should log updates for the specified database, and exclude all others not explicitly mentioned.

--binlog-format

What form of binary logging the master will use: either ROW for row-based binary logging, STATEMENT for statement-based binary logging, or MIXED. MIXED is statement-based binary logging except for those statements where only row-based is correct: those which involve user-defined functions (i.e., UDFs) or the UUID() function; for those, row-based binary logging is automatically used.

--binlog-ignore-db

Tells the master that updates to the given database should not be logged to the binary log.

--binlog-optimize-thread-scheduling

Run fast part of group commit in a single thread, to optimize kernel thread scheduling. On by default. Disable to run each transaction in group commit in its own thread, which can be slower at very high concurrency. This option is mostly for testing one algorithm versus the other, and it should not normally be necessary to change it. (Defaults to on; use --skip-binlog-optimize-thread-scheduling to disable.)

--binlog-row-event-max-size

The maximum size of a row-based binary log event in bytes. Rows will be grouped into events smaller than this size if possible. The value has to be a multiple of 256.

--binlog-row-image

Controls whether rows should be logged in 'FULL', 'NOBLOB' or 'MINIMAL' formats. 'FULL', means that all columns in the before and after image are logged. 'NOBLOB', means that mysqld avoids logging blob columns whenever possible (e.g., blob column was not changed or is not part of primary key). 'MINIMAL', means that a PK equivalent (PK columns or full row if there is no PK in the table) is logged in the before image, and only changed columns are logged in the after image. (Default: FULL).

--binlog-stmt-cache-size

The size of the statement cache for updates to non-transactional engines for the binary log. If you often use statements updating a great number of rows, you can increase this to get more performance.

--blackhole

Enable or disable BLACKHOLE plugin. One of: ON, OFF, FORCE (don't start if the plugin fails to load), FORCE_PLUS_PERMANENT (like FORCE, but the plugin can not be uninstalled).

The key buffer is then flushed only when the table closes, speeding up writes. MyISAM tables should be automatically checked upon startup in this case, and --external locking should not be used, as it can lead to index corruption. If set to OFF, DELAY KEY WRITEs are ignored, while if set to ALL, all new opened tables are treated as if created with DELAY KEY WRITEs enabled.

--delayed-insert-limit

After inserting delayed_insert_limit rows, the INSERT DELAYED handler will check if there are any SELECT statements pending. If so, it allows these to execute before continuing.

--gssapi-principal-name

GSSAPI target name - service principal name for Kerberos authentication.

--gtid-domain-id

Used with global transaction ID to identify logically independent replication streams. When events can propagate through multiple parallel paths (for example multiple masters), each independent source server must use a distinct domain_id. For simple tree-shaped replication topologies, it can be left at its default, 0.

--gtid-ignore-duplicates

When set, different master connections in multi-source replication are allowed to receive and process event groups with the same GTID (when using GTID mode). Only one will be applied, any others will be ignored. Within a given replication domain, just the sequence number will be used to decide whether a given GTID has been already applied; this means it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that GTID sequence numbers are strictly increasing.

--gtid-strict-mode

Enforce strict seq_no ordering of events in the binary log. Slave stops with an error if it encounters an event that would cause it to generate an out-of-order binlog if executed.

--innodb-defragment-fill-factor

A number between [0.7, 1] that tells defragmentation how full it should fill a page. Default is 0.9. Number below 0.7 won't make much sense.This variable, together with innodb_defragment_fill_factor_n_recs, is introduced so defragmentation won't pack the page too full and cause page split on the next insert on every page. The variable indicating more defragmentation gain is the one effective.

--innodb-defragment-fill-factor-n-recs

How many records of space defragmentation should leave on the page. This variable, together with innodb_defragment_fill_factor, is introduced so defragmentation won't pack the page too full and cause page split on the next insert on every page. The variable indicating more defragmentation gain is the one effective.

--innodb-defragment-frequency

Do not defragment a single index more than this number of time per second.This controls the number of time defragmentation thread can request X_LOCK on an index. Defragmentation thread will check whether 1/defragment_frequency (s) has passed since it worked on this index last time, and put the index back to the queue if not enough time has passed.

--replicate-wild-do-table

Tells the slave thread to restrict replication to the tables that match the specified wildcard pattern. To specify more than one table, use the directive multiple times, once for each table. This will work for cross-database updates. Example: replicate-wild-do-table=foo%.bar% will replicate only updates to tables in all databases that start with foo and whose table names start with bar.

--replicate-wild-ignore-table

Tells the slave thread to not replicate to the tables that match the given wildcard pattern. To specify more than one table to ignore, use the directive multiple times, once for each table.

Due to NAT and other routing issues, that IP may not be valid for connecting to the slave from the master or other hosts

--report-password

The account password of the slave to be reported to the master during slave registration

--report-port
