INFO
Rule IDs: cc_002
Overview
- Purpose
- Documented in the MySQL 8.4 manual as a server system variable (scope: Global). Purpose and semantics are described at the linked manual page.
- Dynamic (MySQL 8.4 reference)
- MySQL 8.4 marks this variable as dynamic (
Dynamic= Yes). Runtime changes useSET GLOBAL(global scope) orSET SESSION(session scope) — confirm syntax and persistence (SET PERSIST) in the manual. - Default value

What is checked
Rules that reference this variable, with their severity and what each rule detects:
- INFO
cc_002: Only tune innodb_thread_sleep_delay if innodb_thread_concurrency is set to a non-zero value.
Tuning guidance
- Recommended actions:
- Only tune innodb_thread_sleep_delay if innodb_thread_concurrency is set to a non-zero value.
- Trade-offs: Thread concurrency controls balance CPU utilization against contention. Too many concurrent threads cause lock waits; too few leave CPU idle. Auto-management (concurrency=0) works well for most workloads.
Example
Consult the manual for whether SET GLOBAL, SET PERSIST, or SET SESSION applies.
