Hello, I am trying to insert large TEXT data into a MySQL database. The server rejects insert statements that include a 15MB text file. The manual says to change "max_allowed_packet" for the server to accept large data. I have set this on the server side to 65535KB, which appears to be the largest value allowed for that variable. The server still rejects large packets. Using the MM JAVA driver, errors suggest the server is set at 64KB. "mysqladmin variables" definitely shows something larger than 64KB (actually it says 67107840). I am using MySQL version 3.23.31. Is there a client side variable that also needs to be defined?
