Hello, My boss is going through the mysql.com tutorials starting at ...
http://www.mysql.com/articles/ddws/12.html ... and currently stuck at ... http://www.mysql.com/articles/ddws/13.html The boss is using phpMyAdmin to access the database, and everything has been working just fine.... until it gets to a database query where it's using a "date" column (JokeDate) in the where clause. The query is shown below and the phpMyAdmin error is also shown... SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Jokes WHERE JokeDate >= "2000-01-01" MySQL said: Lost connection to MySQL server during query The database table is defined thusly: CREATE TABLE Jokes ( ID int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL auto_increment, JokeText text, JokeDate date DEFAULT '0000-00-00' NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (ID) ); With three rows of information in it. Even if I change the query to : select * from Jokes where JokeDate >= "2001-01-01" -or- select * from Jokes where JokeDate >= '2001-01-01' -or even- select ID, JokeText, JokeDate from Jokes where JokeDate >= '2001-01=01' ... it just doesn't work and it returns the "Lost Connection" error. If I select on a different column (like ID or JokeText) it works just fine. The MySQL database is 3.22.26a running on a Solaris through iPlanet webserver on a test machine/database and Apache on production machine/database. Any help.
