Configuration

A Dolt SQL server can be configured at server start time, or by setting system variables in the SQL session. The simplest way to configure server behavior is to provide a config file with the --config flag. Here's an example file:

log_level: info

behavior:
  read_only: false
  autocommit: true

user:
  name: root
  password: ""

listener:
  host: localhost
  port: 3306
  max_connections: 100
  read_timeout_millis: 28800000
  write_timeout_millis: 28800000

performance:
  query_parallelism: null

The full list of supported fields can be found in the docs for the sql-server command.

System variables

Dolt defines system variables that you can set in your session via the SET syntax. Many of these can be persisted, so they remain set after a server restart.

set @@dolt_transaction_commit = 1;

A full list of available system variables can be found in the docs on system variables.
