MariaDB System Parameters

mytile_read_buffer_size
  • Description: Size in bytes of the buffers to use for each attribute/coordinates when performing a read.
  • Command line: --mytile-read-buffer-size
  • Scope: Global
  • Dynamic: Yes
  • Data Type: long
  • Default Value: 100M
mytile_write_buffer_size
  • Description: Size in bytes of the buffers to use for each attribute/coordinates when performing a write.
  • Command line: --mytile-write-buffer-size
  • Scope: Global
  • Dynamic: Yes
  • Data Type: long
  • Default Value: 100M
mytile_delete_arrays
  • Description: Controls if a delete table statement causes the array to be deleted on disk or just deregistered from MariaDB. A true value causes actual deletions of data.
  • Command line: --mytile-delete-arrays
  • Scope: Global
  • Dynamic: Yes
  • Data Type: boolean
  • Default Value: false
tiledb_config
  • Description: Set TileDB configuration parameters, this is in csv form of key1=value1,key2=value2. Example: set mytile_tiledb_config = 'vfs.s3.aws_access_key_id=abc,vfs.s3.aws_secret_access_key=123';
  • Command line: --mytile-tiledb-config
  • Scope: Session
  • Dynamic: Yes
  • Data Type: string
  • Default Value: ""
reopen_for_every_query
  • Description: Closes and reopen the array for every query, this allows tiledb_config parameters to take effect without forcing a table flush, but any TileDB caching is removed.
  • Command line: --mytile-reopen-for-every-query
  • Scope: Session
  • Dynamic: Yes
  • Data Type: boolean
  • Default Value: true
ready_query_layout
  • Description: Set layout for ready queries, valid values are row-major, col-major, unordered or global-order
  • Command line: --mytile-read-query-layout
  • Scope: Session
  • Dynamic: Yes
  • Data Type: enum
  • Default Value: unordered
dimensions_are_primary_keys
  • Description: Should dimensions be treated and registered as primary keys.
  • Command line: --mytile-dimensions-are-primary-keys
  • Scope: Session
  • Dynamic: Yes
  • Data Type: boolean
  • Default Value: true
enable_pushdown
  • Description: Pushdown predicates where possible
  • Command line: --mytile-enable-pushdown
  • Scope: Session
  • Dynamic: Yes
  • Data Type: boolean
  • Default Value: true
compute_table_records
  • Description: Compute size of table (record count) on table opening. This is useful when you are performing a large join or group by and knowing the table size can affect the optimizer. Computing the table records can take several seconds (worst case) so this should not be enabled for small queries.
  • Command line: --mytile-compute-table-records
  • Scope: Session
  • Dynamic: Yes
  • Data Type: boolean
  • Default Value: false
