MySQL startup scripts


Hi,

Would anyone explain me why the startup scripts check
for command line arguments and the contents of
/etc/my.cnf right after setting the env variables such
as basedir, pid-file and so?

if the MySQL code and scripts are expected to be on a
specific hardcoded location (yeah, right we could
specify this at build time) why bother supporting
those variables at all?

shouldn't they run parse the command line and defaults
file first before setting defaults??

btw, I am just courious.

thanks,
enrique.

For some reason I cannot get my MySQL server to start. It has been running fine until Friday, when we has a strange issue with the Solaris server which it is running on. The server had a few files get their chmod setting messed up and now after fixing that, MySQL won't start.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
