Syntax:
INSTALL COMPONENT component_name  [, component_name ...
     [SET variable = expr [, variable = expr] ...] 
  
  variable: {
    {GLOBAL | @@GLOBAL.} [component_prefix.]system_var_name
  | {PERSIST | @@PERSIST.} [component_prefix.]system_var_name
}

This statement installs one or more components, which become active
immediately. A component provides services that are available to the
server and other components; see
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.4/en/components.html. INSTALL
COMPONENT requires the INSERT privilege for the mysql.component system
table because it adds a row to that table to register the component.

Example:

INSTALL COMPONENT 'file://component1', 'file://component2';

A component is named using a URN that begins with file:// and indicates
the base name of the library file that implements the component,
located in the directory named by the plugin_dir system variable.
Component names do not include any platform-dependent file name suffix
such as .so or .dll. (These naming details are subject to change
because component name interpretation is itself performed by a service
and the component infrastructure makes it possible to replace the
default service implementation with alternative implementations.)

INSTALL COMPONENT permits setting the values of component system
variables when you install one or more components. The SET clause
enables you to specify variable values precisely when they are needed,
without the inconvenience or limitations associated with other forms of
assignment. Specifically, you can also set component variables with
these alternatives:

o At server startup using options on the command line or in an option
  file, but doing so involves a server restart. The values do not take
  effect until you install the component. You can specify an invalid
  variable name for a component on the command line without triggering
  an error.

o Dynamically while the server is running by means of the SET
  statement, which enables you to modify operation of the server
  without having to stop and restart it. Setting a read-only variable
  is not permitted.

The optional SET clause applies a value, or values, only to the
component specified in the INSTALL COMPONENT statement, rather than to
all subsequent installations of that component. SET GLOBAL|PERSIST
works for all types of variables, including read-only variables,
without having to restart the server. A component system variable that
you set using INSTALL COMPONENT takes precedence over any conflicting
value coming from the command line or an option file.

Example:

INSTALL COMPONENT 'file://component1', 'file://component2' 
    SET GLOBAL component1.var1 = 12 + 3, PERSIST component2.var2 = 'strings';

Omitting PERSIST or GLOBAL is equivalent to specifying GLOBAL.

Specifying PERSIST for any variable in SET silently executes SET
PERSIST_ONLY immediately after INSTALL COMPONENT loads the components,
but before updating the mysql.component table. If SET PERSIST_ONLY
fails, then the server unloads all of the previously loaded new
components without persisting anything to mysql.component.

The SET clause accepts only valid variable names of the component being
installed and emits an error message for all invalid names. Subqueries,
stored functions, and aggregate functions are not permitted as part of
the value expression. If you install a single component, it is not
necessary to prefix the variable name with the component name.

*Note*:

While specifying a variable value using the SET clause is similar to
that of the command line---it is available immediately at variable
registration---there is a distinct difference in how the SET clause
handles invalid numerical values for boolean variables. For example, if
you set a boolean variable to 11 (component1.boolvar = 11), you see the
following behavior:

o SET clause yields true

o Command line yields false (11 is neither ON nor 1)

If any error occurs, the statement fails and has no effect. For
example, this happens if a component name is erroneous, a named
component does not exist or is already installed, or component
initialization fails.

A loader service handles component loading, which includes adding
installed components to the mysql.component system table that serves as
a registry. For subsequent server restarts, any components listed in
mysql.component are loaded by the loader service during the startup
sequence. This occurs even if the server is started with the
--skip-grant-tables option.

If a component depends on services not present in the registry and you
attempt to install the component without also installing the component
or components that provide the services on which it depends, an error
occurs:

ERROR 3527 (HY000): Cannot satisfy dependency for service 'component_a'
required by component 'component_b'.

To avoid this problem, either install all components in the same
statement, or install the dependent component after installing any
components on which it depends.

*Note*:

For keyring components, do not use INSTALL COMPONENT. Instead,
configure keyring component loading using a manifest file. See
