dynamic_variables

VALUE

0 | 1

DEFAULT

0

DESCRIPTION

This pragma enables configuration directives (Variables, most notably) to be dynamically updated from system files and databases.

It only makes sense to use this in combination with the DirConfig or VariableDatabase directives, so check their reference pages for more information.

EXAMPLES

Example: Enable dynamic_variables pragma catalog-wide

Put the following in your catalog.cfg:

Pragma dynamic_variables
