If the option exists in sys.sys_config return the value from there. 2. Else fall back on the provided default value. Notes for using sys_get_config(): * If the default value argument to sys_get_config() is NULL and case 2. is reached, NULL is returned. It is then expected that the caller is able to handle NULL for the given configuration option. * The convention is to name the user variables @sys.. It is that is stored in the sys_config table and is what is expected as the argument to sys_get_config(). * If you want to check whether the configuration option has already been set and if not assign with the return value of sys_get_config() you can use IFNULL(...) (see example below). However this should not be done inside a loop (e.g. for each row in a result set) as for repeated calls where assignment is only needed in the first iteration using IFNULL(...) is expected to be significantly slower than using an IF (...) THEN ... END IF; block (see example below). Parameters ----------- in_variable_name (VARCHAR(128)): The name of the config option to return the value for. in_default_value (VARCHAR(128)): The default value to return if the variable does not exist in sys.sys_config.
