Bug #9804	can't change log file size for InnoDB tables
Submitted:	11 Apr 2005 2:51	Modified:	28 May 2009 11:16

Status:	Won't fix	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Administrator	Severity:	S4 (Feature request)
Version:	1.0.19	OS:	Windows (Windows XP)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
With version 1.0.19 of the administrator with either 4.1.10 or 4.1.11, if you
change the "log file size" for innodb tables, the server refuses to restart.
I have to keep the value that it was initially setup with.  It would be nice
if either the administrator or the server knew how to rebuild the log file so it
could work with the larger (or smaller) size.

How to repeat:
Set the log file size to something other than the current value.  stop and
then try to restart the server.  It refuses to restart until the value is set back
to its original value.

Not much Administrator can really do about this but it should at least issue a warning and ask for extra confirmation when changing this parameter IMHO

Many thanks for writing a bug report. We are on the way to implement full functionality of MySQL Administrator into MySQL Workbench. We won't add this feature request anymore.
