The configuration file is organized in sections (or

groups). A section is composed of a name placed
between two brackets, of options and ends with the
beginning of another section or the end of the file.
Thus, the name of the MySQL server section is
[mysqld].
The name of the default text client section is [mysql]
(not to be confused with [mysqld])
