Can someone help me tidy it up?
As you'll see, as well as a lot of lines with "set-variable" lines. Should these be replaced with "option = value" or not?
e.g. instead of "set-variable = innodb_additional_mem_pool_size=500K" should it just be
"innodb_additional_mem_pool_size=500K" ?
I'm sure I just read something about "set-variable" being deprecated as of MySQL4 but now I can't find the reference.
I also note that I have a lot of stuff in the [mysqld_safe] section, sometimes duplicating what's in [mysqld]. According to the mysql manual, the contents of [mysqld_safe] will get read along with everything in [mysqld] (and [server]) when mysqld is started with the mysqld_safe startup script.
Great, so I should move most of what's in [mysqld_safe] to [mysqld] rather than having duplicates - except that looking at an unmodified my.cnf from another server, the contents of [mysqld] and [mysqld_safe] are mostly duplicated, so maybe not! Oh, and what's this? lots of set-"variable= rather" than "option = value"! So I'm probably wrong about it being deprecated too.
