Errno: 1046 Error: No Database Selected I get this on only one of my sites, on the first query during a connection only, and actually it is an impossible error. All sites are driven by db_mysql.inc from PHPLIB. Therefore, everything is totally automatic, no chance to omit the database name during connect. In fact, when the query returns that error, I jump in between and look for all the parameters, and indeed, they are present, including the database -- nothing else could be expected. If it occurs, it is a simple query SELECT * FROM lgs which will return the languages supported at the time, three right now. Simple table, simple query, three rows, so I guess the problem is not located here. I could hard code that stuff as well, but why? It worked fine for a year. So this is rather interesting indeed. Also, it does no harm as I default to a standard language if the query doesn't work. But I get an email notice, so I know. The rest runs fine, I didn't have problems although I reuse the connection and do a lot of other queries shortly thereafter. I notice this for at least 6 months now. It happens mostly in intervals, say once a day on three days a week. During the last week, the behavior changed slightly. I received thousands of notices during the period of about one or two hours, then things went back to normal. Before, I mostly received tens or at most hundreds of notices. top shows a really funny picture if it happens: typically no httpd, but 20 or more mysqld processes. I had a look at the hostname.log which looked rather normal, issuing queries that ought to be expected during normal page generation. hostname.err shows Number of processes running now: 34 mysqld process hanging, pid 2830 - killed Currently, there is only this client on the machine. Previously, I had another site on the same machine which produced much more load. Back then, I experienced similar problems with processes hanging. Is this a clue to something? What kind of questions could be asked in this situation? -- Herzlich Werner Stuerenburg _________________________________________________ ISIS Verlag, Teut 3, D-32683 Barntrup-Alverdissen Tel 0(049) 5224-997 407 · Fax 0(049) 5224-997 409 http://pferdezeitung.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
