This page lists all of the options for mysqld / mariadbd, ordered by topic. For a full alphabetical list of all mysqld options, as well as server and status variables, see Full list of MariaDB options, system and status variables.

In many cases, the entry here is a summary, and links to the full description.

By convention, server variables have usually been specified with an underscore in the configuration files, and a dash on the command line. You can however specify underscores as dashes - they are interchangeable.

See mysqld startup options for which files and groups mysqld reads for it's default options.

--binlog-do-db

  • Commandline: --binlog-do-db=name
  • Description: This option allows you to configure a replication master to write statements and transactions affecting databases that match a specified name into its binary log. Since the filtered statements or transactions will not be present in the binary log, its replication slaves will not be able to replicate them.
    • This option will not work with cross-database updates with statement-based logging. See the Statement-Based Logging section for more information.
    • This option can not be set dynamically.
    • When setting it on the command-line or in a server option group in an option file, the option does not accept a comma-separated list. If you would like to specify multiple filters, then you need to specify the option multiple times.

--log-basename

  • Commandline: --log-basename=name
  • Description: Basename for all log files and the .pid file. This sets all log file names at once (in 'datadir') and is normally the only option you need for specifying log files. This is especially recommended to be set if you are using replication as it ensures that your log file names are not dependent on your host name. Sets names for log-bin, log-bin-index, relay-log, relay-log-index, general-log-file, --log-slow-query-log-file, --log-error-file, and pid-file.
  • Introduced: MariaDB 5.2

  • Description: The password the slave thread will authenticate with when connecting to the master. If not set, an empty password is assumed. The value in master.info will take precedence if it can be read.

--master-port

  • Commandline: --master-port=#
  • Description: The port the master is listening on. If not set, the compiled setting of MYSQL_PORT is assumed. If you have not tinkered with configure options, this should be 3306. The value in master.info will take precedence if it can be read.

--master-retry-count

  • Commandline: --master-retry-count=#
  • Description: Number of times a slave will attempt to connect to a master before giving up. The retry interval is determined by the MASTER_CONNECT_RETRY option for the CHANGE MASTER statement. A value of 0 means the slave will not stop attempting to reconnect. Reconnects are triggered when a slave has timed out. See slave_net_timeout.
  • Default Value: 86400

  • Commandline: --max-binlog-dump-events=#
  • Description: Option used by mysql-test for debugging and testing of replication.

--replicate-rewrite-db

  • Commandline: --replicate-rewrite-db=master_database->slave_database
  • Description: This option allows you to configure a replication slave to rewrite database names. It uses the format master_database->slave_database. If a slave encounters a binary log event in which the default database (i.e. the one selected by the USE statement) is master_database, then the slave will apply the event in slave_database instead.
    • This option will not work with cross-database updates with statement-based logging. See the Statement-Based Logging section for more information.

--plugin-load

  • Commandline: --plugin-load=name
  • Description: This option can be used to configure the server to load specific plugins. This option uses the following format:
    • Plugins can be specified in the format name=library, where name is the plugin name and library is the plugin library. This format installs a single plugin from the given plugin library.
    • Plugins can also be specified in the format library, where library is the plugin library. This format installs all plugins from the given plugin library.
    • Multiple plugins can be specified by separating them with semicolons.
  • Special care must be taken when specifying the --plugin-load option multiple times, or when specifying both the --plugin-load option and the --plugin-load-add option together. The --plugin-load option resets the plugin load list, and this can cause unexpected problems if you are not aware. The --plugin-load-add option does not reset the plugin load list, so it is much safer to use. See Plugin Overview: Specifying Multiple Plugin Load Options for more information.
  • See Plugin Overview: Installing a Plugin with Plugin Load Options for more information.

    • Multiple plugins can be specified by separating them with semicolons.
  • Special care must be taken when specifying both the --plugin-load option and the --plugin-load-add option together. The --plugin-load option resets the plugin load list, and this can cause unexpected problems if you are not aware. The --plugin-load-add option does not reset the plugin load list, so it is much safer to use. See Plugin Overview: Specifying Multiple Plugin Load Options for more information.
