The following is the recommended way to use option files to make it easy to switch between a client/server application and one where MySQL is embedded. See section 4.1.2 `my.cnf' Option Files.
-
Put common options in the
[server]section. These will be read by both MySQL versions. -
Put client/server-specific options in the
[mysqld]section. -
Put embedded MySQL-specific options in the
[embedded]section. -
Put application-specific options in a
[ApplicationName_SERVER]section.
