Description

On database startup, the database parses the string containing command-line parameters. When this string contains errors, the parameters listed after the error are silently ignored, and the database started.

Improvement

The database will refuse to start when the string containing the command-line parameters is incorrect, and will instead raise an error. For example, the database will now refuse to start when the command-line parameters contain:

  • parameters missing a dash prefix
  • unknown command-line parameters
  • invalid values for command-line parameters
  • invalid separators (for example: , )
