Hi there. I've been having this problem when retrieving rows from a table using mysql_fetch_row(). The problem is that sometimes it returns null when I know that there are more records available. The behaviour is intermittent too so its really difficult to track down.
I've tried it with MySQL Version 4.1.4 and also 4.1.12 and I get the same behaviour (on Suse Linux, i386 architecture). The select statement is as follows: SELECT raw_id,forename,surname,addr1,addr2,addr3,addr4,addr5,addr6,postal_area, dob,email FROM `ssain` WHERE (matched IS NULL); However, looping through mysql_fetch_row() - after mysql_use_result() - with: while((MySqlRow = mysql_fetch_row(MySqlResult)) != NULL) The while loop intermittently terminates early. When the loop does terminate early, it is usually (but not always) after it has correctly processed record number 664, but I dont know if this is of any significance. if I run: SELECT count(*) FROM ssain WHERE (matched IS NULL); then I get 2027085 (just over 2 million) so I know that it should be able to pull the records themselves. When the mysql_fetch_row() loop does break out early, the next time the database handle is used (for another SQL statement), the following error is reported: Error 2006 (MySQL server has gone away) and I also get this message when I check mysql_error() with: if(strcmp(mysql_error(MySqlConn),"")!=0) I've turned on as many logging options on the server as I can find but no errors are reported. I've also looked on various places on the internet to any possible solutions, all to no avail. All references to "MySQL server has gone away" on google mention various time-out settings, however I get the issue after a few minutes in total, and the statement handle is in use any way so there is no time for a time-out to occur? I'm really at the last of my tethers with this one so any help or suggestions will be gratefully received. Many thanks in advance!!
