You can now set it yourself by editing the instance in Developer Console.
All the settable flags are documented here: https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql-flags
Problem
I was moving a database to using Google Cloud SQL which previously had a max_allowed_packet of 20M. Currently the Google Cloud SQL default for max_allowed_packet is 1M. Is there any way to increase this variable to 20M? I have already tried the following: ``` set global max_allowed_packet = 20971520; ``` Which returns: Error Code: 1621. SESSION variable 'max_allowed_packet' is read-only. Use SET GLOBAL to assign the value and then: ``` set global max_allowed_packet = 20971520; ``` This returns the error: Error Code: 1227. Access denied; you need (at least one of) the SUPER privilege(s) for this operation Thank you in advance for your help!
