System Variable Differences Between MariaDB 11.3 and MySQL 8.0

The following is a comparison of variables that either appear only in MariaDB 11.3 or MySQL 8.0, or have different default settings in MariaDB 11.3, and MySQL 8.0. The releases MariaDB 11.3.1 and MySQL 8.0.35, with only default plugins enabled, were used for the comparison. Note that MySQL 8 is an 'evergreen' release, so features may be added or removed in later releases.

For a more complete list of differences, see Incompatibilities and Feature Differences Between MariaDB 11.3 and MySQL 8.0 and Function Differences Between MariaDB 11.3 and MySQL 8.0
