optimizer_switch
Contents
optimizer_switch is a server variable that one can use to enable/disable specific optimizations.
Syntax
To set or unset the various optimizations, use the following syntax:
SET [GLOBAL|SESSION] optimizer_switch='cmd[,cmd]...';
The cmd takes the following format:
| Syntax | Description |
|---|---|
| default | Reset all optimizations to their default values. |
| optimization_name=default | Set the specified optimization to its default value. |
| optimization_name=on | Enable the specified optimization. |
| optimization_name=off | Disable the specified optimization. |
There is no need to list all flags - only those that are specified in the command will be affected.
Available Flags
Below is a list of all optimizer_switch flags available in MariaDB:
- ↑ replaced split_grouping_derived, introduced in MariaDB 10.3.1
