expired mysql connection ?

Hi, I run a Perl program on a test run of about 4 hours and my database connection expired/broke down. Here is the error I got : DBI connect('project','root',...) failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10

size of database on disk

Hi, I'm using Mysql on Linux. How can I see the space a certain database is taking on disk ? Thank you -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
