Any options that may be given with the mysqld
server daemon, may be used with an embedded server library. Server
options may be given in an array as an argument to the
mysql_library_init()
, which
initializes the server. They also may be given in an option file
like my.cnf
. To specify an option file for a
C program, use the --defaults-file
option as one of the elements of the second argument of the
mysql_library_init()
function. See
Section 20.9.3.40, “mysql_library_init()
”, for more information on the
mysql_library_init()
function.
Using option files can make it easier to switch between a
client/server application and one where MySQL is embedded. Put
common options under the [server]
group. These
are read by both MySQL versions. Client/server-specific options
should go under the [mysqld]
section. Put
options specific to the embedded MySQL server library in the
[embedded]
section. Options specific to
applications go under section labeled
[ApplicationName_SERVER]
. See
Section 4.2.3.3, “Using Option Files”.
