Changing my blog to use MySQL 5.7 proposed defaults

In my recent blog post, I announced a set of proposed changes to defaults for MySQL 5.7.

I’m now using these settings on my WordPress blog, which is powered by MyQL 5.7.5. The supplimental config file comes from my GitHub project called mysql-compatibility-config.

Here were the steps required:

[root@mysqldb2 ~]# cd /etc
[root@mysqldb2 etc]# wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/morgo/mysql-compatibility-config/master/mysql-57/mysql-57-proposed.cnf
