For a long time I thought setting the WAIT_TIMEOUT and INTERACTIVE_TIMEOUT values did not work in MySQL. I was really shocked to find that actually it worked fine, but it was TOAD that would always display the wrong values!!! (seen in DB explorer) No matter what the setting was set to, for both of those it would always show a value of 2000000. Even if inside an Editor window I run this: show global variables like '%timeout%' I get the CORRECT value. This blew me away. :)
