This may be a dumb question, but is it possible to change the MySQL configuration options such as innodb_buffer_pool_size at runtime?
Or, equivalently, is there a way to reload MySQL without closing existing connections or refusing new connections (like you can do with Apache)?
Linux_32 (2.6.26) + MySQL 5.0.24a
According to this MySQL forum post, it is not possible to set
innodb_buffer_pool_sizeat runtime.So the question remains: is it possible to change the MySQL configuration and reload the daemon transparently to its users?
