big_tables
If set to 1, all temporary tables are stored on disk rather than in memory. This is a little slower, but
the error
The table tbl_name is full
large temporary table. The default value for a new connection is 0 (use in-memory temporary tables).
Normally, you should never need to set this variable, because in-memory tables are automatically
converted to disk-based tables as required.
Note
This variable was formerly named sql_big_tables.
