Description:
When you set sql_warnings and sql_notes to OFF, the server behave as if they are OFF but SHOW VARIABLES still display them as ON.

it affects both 5.0.18 and 4.1.16

How to repeat:
mysql> SET sql_notes = 0, sql_warnings = 0 ; SELECT @@sql_notes, @@sql_warnings
\G SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'sql\_%s' \G SET sql_notes = 1, sql_warnings = 1 ; SELECT
 @@sql_notes, @@sql_warnings \G SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'sql\_%s' \G
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

*************************** 1. row ***************************
   @@sql_notes: 0
@@sql_warnings: 0
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

*************************** 1. row ***************************
Variable_name: sql_notes
        Value: ON
*************************** 2. row ***************************
Variable_name: sql_warnings
        Value: ON
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

*************************** 1. row ***************************
   @@sql_notes: 1
@@sql_warnings: 1
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

*************************** 1. row ***************************
Variable_name: sql_notes
        Value: ON
*************************** 2. row ***************************
Variable_name: sql_warnings
        Value: ON
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

i actually noticed this problem when adding sql_big_tables to SHOW VARIABLES, glad to see there's a bug for it already.

Fixed in 5.0.22 and 5.1.10.

Noted in 5.0.22, 5.1.10.

The <literal>sql_notes</literal> and
<literal>sql_warnings</literal> system variables were not
always displayed correctly by <literal>SHOW
VARIABLES</literal> (for example, they were displayed as
<literal>ON</literal> after being set to
<literal>OFF</literal>). (Bug #16195)
