MySQL Error 1340: Configuration File Too Large
Description
Error 1340 indicates that a MySQL configuration file, such as `my.cnf` or `my.ini`, has grown too large for the MySQL server's internal parser to process. This usually happens during server startup or when a utility attempts to read the configuration, preventing MySQL from loading its settings.

Duplicate or unnecessary configuration directives have been added over time, leading to a bloated file size without adding functional value.
Excessively Long Values
Some configuration parameters may have extremely long string values, such as complex `sql_mode` settings or lengthy file paths, contributing significantly to the overall file size.
