• Rick James: "What I have to do to get" -- Sorry; the earth has moved out from under you. Why do you have to run that old query? Why do you need to ask anything other than Version >= 5.1 ?

Answer 1

have_partitioning variable is removed from MySQL version is 5.6.29. That's why it is not showing.Instead of it you can use show plugins for knowing partition is enabled or not.If status value is Active then it is enabled.You can also disable partition by adding skip-partition=True while starting mysql server.
