Can it be done? I tried to disable this timer with wait_timeout = 0 in my.cnf.
That changed the timeout (as reported by mysqladmin variables) from the default 28800 to 1. Tested, it was definitely a one-second timeout :-( As a hack-around, I've currently got it set to ten days. Alternatively, where is the bounds for the value of wait_timeout documented? Lastly, this is for a long-held JDBC connection from an application server which could run for days, no, weeks - and gets upset if mysql closes down the connection (e.g. overnight/weekends). Any suggestions on a better way to handle this? Thanks, Neale. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
