A program to parse http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.X/en/server-system-variables.html output
This program, built in go, was built to try to collect a definition of the MySQL variables from the documentation at the URL above. It would be nice if mysqld would actually allow you to query this information dynamically but that is not currently possible.
Downloading can be done by doing this:
$ go get -u github.com/sjmudd/mysql-variables-parser
Example of how to use:
$ sh sql_generator.sh
This will collect the different web pages from Oracle's site and
generate the examples/sysvarXX.sql
files for MySQL versions 5.0
to 5.7.
More work is needed but this is a starting point.
