Bug #68777	Documentation is backwards for innodb_open_files in MySQL 5.6
Submitted:	26 Mar 2013 10:46	Modified:	26 Mar 2013 22:32

Description:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/innodb-parameters.html#sysvar_innodb_open_files states:

"As of MySQL 5.6.6, the default value is 300 if innodb_file_per_table is enabled, and the higher of 300 and table_open_cache otherwise. Before 5.6.6, the default value is 300."

How to repeat:
On a clean install of MySQL:

mysql> show variables like 'version';
+---------------+--------------+
| Variable_name | Value        |
+---------------+--------------+
| version       | 5.6.9-rc-log |
+---------------+--------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> show variables like 'innodb_open%';
+-------------------+-------+
| Variable_name     | Value |
+-------------------+-------+
| innodb_open_files | 2000  |
+-------------------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> show variables like 'innodb_file_per_table';
+-----------------------+-------+
| Variable_name         | Value |
+-----------------------+-------+
| innodb_file_per_table | ON    |
+-----------------------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> show variables like 'table_open_cache';
+------------------+-------+
| Variable_name    | Value |
+------------------+-------+
| table_open_cache | 2000  |
+------------------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Suggested fix:
Add the word "not" before enabled:

As of MySQL 5.6.6, the default value is 300 if innodb_file_per_table is *NOT* enabled, and the higher of 300 and table_open_cache otherwise. Before 5.6.6, the default value is 300.

Hello Sheeri,

Thank you for the report.
Verified as described.

Thanks,
