about the config file

Hello,

In mysql's config file my.cnf, are the variable names with "_" and "-" the same?
for example,

log_error = ...
log-error = ...

Thanks.

Hey!

I asked this one a long time ago. They are interchangeable in most cases. I
can recall there was one or two options (pid-file and log-error...I think?!)
that were funky with the '_' but I can't be sure that's still an issue.

Try them out and don't worry too much about the aesthetics of the file.
