 Description   

Hi,

I ran into a configuration that included:
"innodb = FORCE"

I could not find this in the documentation anywhere, looked into the documentation of MySQL 5.0 and upwards.

I removed the configuration and compared SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES output. There were no changes. Apparently this configuration does nothing.

I think a deprecation message should be place, or the server should not start with it as it's a incorrect variable. Or, if it does have a function, that should be documented.

Cheers,
Michael

tanj was able to shed some light: Tells the server to enable the plugin, but if plugin initialization fails, the server does not start. In other words, this option forces the server to run with the plugin enabled or not at all.

This is documented here:
