Spider Table Parameters

When a table uses the Spider storage engine, the following Spider table parameters can be set in the COMMENT clause of the CREATE TABLE statement. Many Spider table parameters have corresponding system variables, so they can be set for all Spider tables on the node. For additional information, see the Spider System Variables page.

From MariaDB 11.3, many table parameters can be set using dedicated Spider table options, see the Table Option Name fields below. From MariaDB 11.4, using the COMMENT clause is deprecated, as well as table parameters that do not have corresponding table options.
