Creating a MySQL Configuration
Use the MySQL HeatWave Console to create a new MySQL configuration. It is not possible to change the values of any variables once a configuration has been created.
Review the default values for the MySQL global system variables, and choose preferred values. See System Initialization Variables, and User Configurable System Variables
Certain MySQL global system variables define whether a configuration can support HeatWave. See: User Configurable Shape Dependent System Variables.
