Drizzle can draw its configuration from a number of sources, including the |
|
10 |
command line, configuration files and environment variables. |
|
11 |
||
12 |
Support is planned for pluggable configuration souces. |

1794.2.4
by Monty Taylor
Expanded on config rules. |
18 |
Drizzle first reads the command line options dealing with config file |
19 |
location. These options may only be given as command line options. |
|
20 |
Then, the config files are parsed, for all options. After that, |
|
21 |
environment variables are processed, and any value given in them will |
|
22 |
override values input from the config files. Finally, values on the command |
|
23 |
line will be processed and any options given here take final precedence. |

Format and Rules

Command line options are of the form `--option-name=value`. There are some
|
|
30 |
boolean flags, such as `--help` which do not require (nor can accept) an

option value. See :ref:`options` for all options that :program:`drizzled` |

supports. |

1794.2.4
by Monty Taylor
Expanded on config rules. |
34 |
Environment variables are the same as the command line options, except that |
35 |
the variable name is prefixed with *DRIZZLED_*, in all caps and all `.` and |
|
36 |
`-` are turned into underscores. So the option
|
|
37 |
`--innodb.buffer_pool_size=10` could be given in the environment variable
|
|
38 |
*DRIZZLED_INNODB_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE*
|
|
39 |
||
40 |
The config files contain a set of lines of the form `option-name=value`, one
|
|
41 |
per line. Due to a bug in Boost.Program_options Boolean values require an argument, e.g. `console.enable=true`.
|
|
42 |
||
43 |
Config files support section headers such as `[innodb]` with all options
|
|
44 |
occuring subsequently being prefixed by the section header. For instance, if |
|
45 |
one were do give::
|
|
46 |
||
47 |
[innodb]
|
|
48 |
buffer_pool_size=10M
|
|
49 |
log_file_size=5M
|
|
50 |
||
51 |
It would be the same as::
|
|
52 |
||
53 |
innodb.buffer_pool_size=10M
|
|
54 |
innodb.log_file_size
|
