description
mysqld,
also known as MySQL Server, is the main program that does
most of the work in a MySQL installation. MySQL Server
manages access to the MySQL data directory that contains
databases and tables. The data directory is also the default
location for other information such as log files and status
files.
When MySQL
server starts, it listens for network connections from
client programs and manages access to databases on behalf of
those clients.
The
mysqld program has many options that can be specified
at startup. For a complete list of options, run this
command:
shell>
mysqld --verbose --help
MySQL 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. MySQL 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.
For a full
description of MySQL Server command options, system
variables, and status variables, see Section 5.1,
“The MySQL Server”. For information about
installing MySQL and setting up the initial configuration,
see Chapter 2, Installing and Upgrading MySQL.
