The LOCALES
plugin was first released in MariaDB 10.0.4.
The LOCALES
plugin creates the LOCALES
table in the INFORMATION_SCHEMA
database. The plugin also adds the SHOW LOCALES
statement.The table and statement can be queried to see all locales that are compiled into the server.
Although the plugin's shared library is distributed with MariaDB by default, the plugin is not actually installed by MariaDB by default. There are two methods that can be used to install the plugin with MariaDB.
The first method can be used to install the plugin without restarting the server. You can install the plugin dynamically by executing INSTALL SONAME
or INSTALL PLUGIN
. For example:
INSTALL SONAME 'locales';
The second method can be used to tell the server to load the plugin when it starts up. The plugin can be installed this way by providing the --plugin-load
or the --plugin-load-add
options. This can be specified as a command-line argument to mysqld
or it can be specified in a relevant server option group in an option file. For example:
[mariadb] ... plugin_load_add = locales
You can uninstall the plugin dynamically by executing UNINSTALL SONAME
or UNINSTALL PLUGIN
. For example:
UNINSTALL SONAME 'locales';
If you installed the plugin by providing the --plugin-load
or the --plugin-load-add
options in a relevant server option group in an option file, then those options should be removed to prevent the plugin from being loaded the next time the server is restarted.
