Description:
From http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/dynamic-system-variables.html

"The last column indicates for each variable whether GLOBAL or SESSION (or both) apply. The table also lists session options that can be set with the SET statement. Section 12.5.3, “SET Syntax”, discusses these options. "

But the table has only two columns: variable name and data type.

How to repeat:
doc bug.

Thank you for a bug report.

The problem was related to the way we output the tables for the 4.1 manual. 

The issue has been fixed, but the updated version of the table will take a few hours it appears.
