What MySQL Database Properties Can I Configure?

Updated on 15 September, 2025

Overview of configurable MySQL database properties in Vultr Managed Databases and how to view current configurations


In Vultr Managed Databases for MySQL, you cannot modify core database properties, as these restrictions help maintain cluster stability and data integrity. However, you can view the current database configuration by connecting to your cluster and running:

sql
mysql> SHOW VARIABLES;

This command displays all server system variables and their current values. While you cannot change these globally, they provide insight into the current state and behavior of your MySQL instance.
