Parameters for Comparison

Parameter comparison helps you check consistency between the source and destination database data to ensure your services will not be affected after being migrated.

This section lists the common parameters and performance parameters of different DB engine versions for your reference during parameter comparison.

binlog_cache_size	Performance parameter	No
binlog_stmt_cache_size	Performance parameter	No
bulk_insert_buffer_size	Performance parameter	No
innodb_buffer_pool_size	Performance parameter	No
key_buffer_size	Performance parameter	No

Note

The value of innodb_buffer_pool_size is set to not exceed 70% of the total memory of the destination database. If you set a larger value for the parameter, the destination database startup may fail. Therefore, values of innodb_buffer_pool_size in the source and destination databases are different. You can adjust the value to suit your services.
