We are all totally | stumped!!! | | Many thanks in advance and best regards, | | Stewart There is a known issue on 64 bit platforms with MySQL versions < 3.23.56 causing a crash when 'SHOW VARIABLES' is executed. You are right in thinking that the JDBC driver issues this query, because it does. The JDBC driver uses the results of 'SHOW VARIABLES' to set many internal parameters related to various capabilities that different versions of MySQL and different configurations of MySQL have. -Mark - -- MySQL 2003 Users Conference -> http://www.mysql.com/events/uc2003/ For technical support contracts, visit https://order.mysql.com/?ref=mmma ~ __ ___ ___ ____ __ ~ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Mark Matthews <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~ / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ MySQL AB, Full-Time Developer - JDBC/Java ~ /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ Flossmoor (Chicago), IL USA ~ <___/ www.mysql.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE+jDA+tvXNTca6JD8RAtiDAJ9EOsjZ8fE0T79BYC8qv+qJq7RubwCfcWp9 lo7USihZqgkfQQ7izJSTaxI= =p7oA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
