MariaDB 10.2.0
The USER_VARIABLES table was introduced in MariaDB 10.2.0 as part of the user_variables plugin.
The USER_VARIABLES table is created when the user_variables plugin is enabled, and contains information about user-defined variables.
From MariaDB 10.2.6, the plugin is statically compiled and available by default.
Before MariaDB 10.2.6, the plugin could either be installed by:
--plugin-load = user_variables
in the configuration file, or by running:
INSTALL SONAME 'user_variables';
which returns a warning.
The server then needed to be restarted in order for the table to be created.
It contains the following columns:
Column | Description |
---|---|
VARIABLE_NAME | Variable name. |
VARIABLE_VALUE | Variable value. |
VARIABLE_TYPE | Variable type. |
CHARACTER_SET_NAME | Character set. |
Versions
