How to set max connections and max allowed packet

[RFH Customer: Roger N Doubt]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to set the defaults for max connections and max allowed packet size on a mySQL dB on my shared hosting account?

What are the considerations when setting these defaults?

Thanks,

CHarlie

I assumed these were set at a global level?

[RFH Customer: Roger N Doubt]

Yes

By that I meant I don't think they can be changed on a shared hosting account.
You could try a tool like MySQL Administrator if you have privileges to alter those settings

Thanks Nick.
I'll see what I can do with MySQL Administrator
