I was looking for the default setting of this variable and the MariaDB documentation https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/xtradbinnodb-server-system-variables/#inno... has:
*Default Value:* OFF (>= MariaDB/MySQL 5.5.7), ON (MariaDB/MySQL 5.5.0 to 5.5.6)
while MySQL documentation http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/innodb-parameters.html#sysvar_innodb_... has (I think correctly): *Permitted Values* (<= 5.6.5) *Type* boolean* Default *OFF *Permitted Values* (>= 5.6.6) *Type *boolean* Default *ON So, I see two issues: - first, the changing version is 5.6.6 (not 5.5.7), at least in MySQL, and - second, the values OFF / ON in the Maria documentation are reversed. Apologies if this is not the correct list to raise the issue. Pantelis Theodosiou
