drizzle Server also has a set of system variables that affect its operation as it runs. System variables can be set at server startup, and many of them can be changed at runtime to effect dynamic server reconfiguration. drizzle Server also has a set of status variables that provide information about its operation. You can monitor these status variables to access runtime performance characteristics.
