Randomly lost connection errors

[CristianP]

Hi,

I changed from 5.1.2 to 6.0.1 (with XE2) and tested to three customers. Each of them has 20-40 computers in network. With 6.0.1 there is one or two computer in each network with connection errors like these two.
The errors occur randomly after tens of successfully executions. Then other tens successfully and again errors.
I changed back to 5.1.2 only on these computers and all is normal now. Of course with my application recompiled with 5.1.2.

Hello,

To investigate this problem, I need a test project that demonstrates it. Please try creating such project and send it to andreyzATdevartDOTcom . Also, please specify the exact version of MySQL server you are using.

Hallo,

I can not reproduce the errors on my system.
The errors have occurred exactly after update to the new drivers on customer computers. But now I tested again and on two computers the errors has gone.
There is left only one computer to test again and I hope today.
Sorry for disturbance.

Best regards,

Hi,

I tested on last computer and I can reproduce easily.
I tried with 6.0.1 and again with 5.1.2 more times.
With 5.1.2 all is OK.
With 6.0.1 in dbMonitor one time I see nothing, second test it was four executions before lost connection. BTW lost connection do not appear in dbMonitor.

MySQL server is in WAN. Ping with 49-51ms. Trace route with one time out in the middle of the list.
Next time I will have access I will install MySQL on this computer and try again with localhost to see if the problem is network or something on this system.
Any suggestions what else to try?

Best Regards,
Cristian Peta

Please try creating a small sample to demonstrate the problem and send it to andreyz*devart*com . Also please specify the following:
- the exact version of MySQL server you are using;
- the exact version of Windows (XP, Vista, etc.) on the computer where you reproduced the problem.

Hallo,

only today I have confirmation that with 6.1.2 (with XE2) the errors has gone.
Anyway I use 5.1.2 in XE2.
For XE3 and my future program versions I changed to UniDAC.
It seems that it was the same cause like "Error with temporary table".

It is very likely that random connection lost errors you encountered in version 6.0.1 have the same cause as the error with temporary tables.
Thank you for your confirmation that random connection lost errors are solved in 6.1.2.
