Richard,


Hmmmm. On the solaris machines (both), there is currently NO "my.cnf"
file anywhere, yet MySQL has been working "just fine". I imagine default values are being used for everything. I'll have to select one of the .cnf files from "support-files". I'll let you know how it works.


set-variable = max_allowed_packet=16M

If this variable isn't set, the communication buffer (between client
and server) is just 1 MB big. This is a common source of problems,
especially when you are using extended inserts (i.e. INSERT ... VALUES
(...),(...),(...)) like mysqldump would produce with the --opt option.

Yikes!!! I knew that running "default configuration" gave you SOME values, but I didn't know they were so small. I've placed the my-medium.cnf as "my.cnf" in /etc on the Sparc 20, and also in C:\ on the W2K machine. Database access is much improved on both.

Now, if people would get off the production server so I could restart MySQL... <G>

Cheers,
