MySQL SELECT fails without LIMIT - mysql

Question

I'm connecting to a MySQL server with the node jdbc package. The purpose is to duplicate data from an old AS400 into a MySQL server for more advanced querying.
My connection string looks like this: jdbc:mysql://1.1.1.1:3306/db_name?allowPublicKeyRetrieval=true&useSSL=false.
I'm able to use the connection normally to truncate and insert records for the cache. I can select from the table if I include a LIMIT, but when I try to retrieve the data with the below sql I get the following error.
select * from table_name;
Complete error output:
node:internal/process/promises:218
triggerUncaughtException(err, true /* fromPromise */);
