max_allowed_packet is the maximum size of a single SQL statement. It's a setting on the server, as well as for the mysql command line interface.
See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/packet-too-large.html I think 1 MB is the default; the maximum setting for MySQL 5 is 1 GB. You can adjust this setting in the server config files (my.cnf or my.ini). I do not know if you need to adjust anything in Navicat, ODBC, Query Browser or Access - sorry!

I got an error while entering an BMP image of 1.7MB size in a mediumblob field through MS Access 2003 with MyODBC 3.51.12 on Windows XP SP2 also with MySQL Query Browser and Navicat GUI tool. Navicat returned the error as 'Got a packet bigger than Max_allowed_packet bytes'. What this means?. Access and Query browser simple gives error as MySQL has gone away? Why? please help. Also please give a solution if we have to insert images/Other Objects of size more than 1 MB what we have to do using ODBC driver with/without MS Access & VB.net? Thanks CPK
