Which system variable when set to 1, makes all temporary tables to get stored on disk rather than in memory?(a) basedir(b) back_log(c) big_tables(d) bind_addressThis question was posed to me in an interview for internship.Question is taken from System Variables in portion System, Status and User Variables of MySQL

Answer»

Correct answer is (C) big_tables

Easy explanation: The variable ‘big_tables’ if SET to 1, all temporary tables are stored on disk rather than in memory. This is a little slower but the error ‘The table tbl_name is full’ does not occur for SELECT OPERATIONS that require a large temporary table.
