# The MariaDB configuration file # # The MariaDB/MySQL tools read configuration files in the following order: # 1. "/etc/mysql/mariadb.cnf" (this file) to set global defaults, # 2. "/etc/mysql/conf.d/*.cnf" to set global options. # 3. "/etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/*.cnf" to set MariaDB-only options. # 4. "~/.my.cnf" to set user-specific options. # # If the same option is defined multiple times, the last one will apply. # # One can use all long options that the program supports. # Run program with --help to get a list of available options and with # --print-defaults to see which it would actually understand and use. # # This group is read both both by the client and the server # use it for options that affect everything # [client-server] # Import all .cnf files from configuration directory !includedir /etc/mysql/conf.d/ !includedir /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/
