I have been running MySQL on a W2K platform for over a year now. The system is normally accessed through servlets, using the "mm" jdbc driver.
I have a number of standalone java programs that also access the database using the "mm" driver. These have always worked quite well, until today. One of the programs creates a comma-separated-file export of some tables for me. It takes a couple of hours to run - but this has never been a problem until today. Today, on 10 separate occasions so far, the application has died - always with the same error: SQL Problem: Lost connection to server during query SQL State: 08007 Vendor Error: 0 This error is printed from the SQLException in the catch clause of my Java program. According to the MySQL manual, this should only occur if the connection is closed and then accessed (not the case), or if the connection times out. According to the manual, the default is 8 hours. I've run 'mysqladmin variables' and captured the output. I have not changed the variables since installing the system over 1 year ago, so I don't see how this should be the problem, but ... what variable do I check? Also - the program died between 10 minutes in and 40 minutes in. Before today, the application ran fine - and takes up to 4 hours. Heres the output from "mysqladmin version": mysqladmin Ver 8.22 Distrib 4.0.0-alpha, for Win95/Win98 on i32 Copyright (C) 2000 MySQL AB & MySQL Finland AB & TCX DataKonsult AB This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
