Init_connect = 'set autocommit=case current_user() when then 0 else 1 end’. You can also use this parameter to disable autocommit for specific user accounts, as in the following example. If you do, every time a client connects the parameter triggers the connection details to be written to the audit table. Then you set init_connect value to the trigger name.

Parameters related to securityįollowing, I list parameters related to security, with best practice suggestions for configuring each. In addition, I discuss some useful parameters related to collation and character sets. I also discuss some of the parameters that help in managing an RDS DB instance’s operation and troubleshooting issues. In today’s post, I discuss the most important and commonly used MySQL parameters for implementing various security features in the RDS MySQL environment. In the previous blog post of this series, I discuss MySQL parameters used to optimize replication in Amazon RDS for MySQL and best practices related to them.
