Restart Type: N
This parameter sets a suggested maximum number of attributes that can be defined in the cluster;

MaxNoOfTables
A known issue in MySQL Cluster in MySQL 5.0 is that this parameter is occasionally treated as a
hard limit for certain operations. This can lead to confusion when it is sometimes possible (or not
possible, depending on the circumstances) to create more than
This is fixed in MySQL Cluster NDB 6.3 and later. (Bug #61684)
The default value is 1000, with the minimum possible value being 32. The maximum is 4294967039.
Each attribute consumes around 200 bytes of storage per node due to the fact that all metadata is
fully replicated on the servers.
When setting MaxNoOfAttributes, it is important to prepare in advance for any
statements that you might want to perform in the future. This is due to the fact, during the

Cluster table having the greatest number of attributes (greatest_number_of_attributes)
has 100 attributes, a good starting point for the value of
greatest_number_of_attributes =
You should also estimate the average number of attributes per table and multiply this by the total
number of MySQL Cluster tables. If this value is larger than the value obtained in the previous
paragraph, you should use the larger value instead.
