I've a MySQL 5.1.41 Server installed on a Ubuntu machine. I get connected to it through Workbench from my Windows machine over TCP/IP. I run a bigger query, after 900 seconds I got the below message, (there is no wait_timeout defined in the server's configuration file my.cnf)
Error Code: 2013. Lost connection to MySQL server during query
But when I look into the process list by using show processlist; command, I can still see my query running.
I got this link http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/gone-away.html where I found the below lines,
The problem on Windows is that in some cases MySQL does not get an
error from the OS when writing to the TCP/IP connection to the server,
but instead gets the error when trying to read the answer from the
connection.
I'm not sure whether this is the reason for my observation.
Please clarify me on this.
Thanks in advance!!
Closing connection is not a reason to stop a query. A query might be update, or kind of transaction, or select with output to remote (server) file.
Closed connection is just is just means, that you will not receive any data from DBMS after executing query (data, timings - nothing).
The reason of closing connection could be different, as SO-User posted. Try increasing
on server side:
wait_timeout
max_allowed_packet
on client side:
any kinds of timeout you find in your client (i.e. that SO-User suggests)
Do not forget to reload DBMS config and restart client (for sure)
In MySQL WorkBench we have an option to change timeout.
Find it under
Edit → Preferences → SQL Editor → DBMS connection read time out (in seconds): 600
Changed the value to 6000 or something higher.
Update
Lost connection to MySQL server
There are three likely causes for this error message.
Usually it indicates network connectivity trouble and you should check
the condition of your network if this error occurs frequently. If the
error message includes “during query,” this is probably the case you
are experiencing.
Sometimes the “during query” form happens when millions of rows are
being sent as part of one or more queries. If you know that this is
happening, you should try increasing net_read_timeout from its default
of 30 seconds to 60 seconds or longer, sufficient for the data
transfer to complete.
More rarely, it can happen when the client is attempting the initial
connection to the server. In this case, if your connect_timeout value
is set to only a few seconds, you may be able to resolve the problem
by increasing it to ten seconds, perhaps more if you have a very long
distance or slow connection. You can determine whether you are
experiencing this more uncommon cause by using SHOW GLOBAL STATUS LIKE
'Aborted_connects'. It will increase by one for each initial
connection attempt that the server aborts. You may see “reading
authorization packet” as part of the error message; if so, that also
suggests that this is the solution that you need.
If the cause is none of those just described, you may be experiencing
a problem with BLOB values that are larger than max_allowed_packet,
which can cause this error with some clients. Sometime you may see an
ER_NET_PACKET_TOO_LARGE error, and that confirms that you need to
increase max_allowed_packet.

I just upgraded MySQL from 5.1 to 5.5.
I fixed few issues running mysql_upgrade, and changing some deprecated configurations...
I also updated PHP, from 5.3.3-7 to 5.3.29-1.
But, since that, I'm having a reccurent problem (always thrown in this order) :
1. Client* - PHP Warning
Warning: Packets out of order. Expected 1 received 0. Packet size=1 in
/home/www/www.mywebsite.com/shared/vendor/doctrine/dbal/lib/Doctrine/DBAL/Connection.php
line 694
2. Client* - PHP Warning
Warning: PDOStatement::execute() [pdostatement.execute]: Error reading
result set's header in
/home/www/www.mywebsite.com/shared/vendor/doctrine/dbal/lib/Doctrine/DBAL/Connection.php
line 694
3. Server* - MySQL Warning :
150127 17:25:15 [Warning] Aborted connection 309 to db:

4. Client* - PHP Error
PDOStatement::execute() [pdostatement.execute]: MySQL server
has gone away in
/home/www/www.mywebsite.com/shared/vendor/doctrine/dbal/lib/Doctrine/DBAL/Connection.php
line 694
*NB: What I call "Client" is the PHP Application, and "Server" is the MySQL Server, even if they're both on the same localhost Server.
So, apparently, the origin of all those problems is the first one : "Packets out of order".
But when I search for this error I can't find many answers, and they are most of the time not related to my problem : I use Doctrine as an abstraction, so I don't write any query or fetch any result myself. Plus, it's almost never the same values as me, but in my case I always get those values ("Expected 1 received 0. Packet size=1").
The closest result would be this MySQL bug report, but "No feedback was provided for this bug for over a month, so it is
being suspended automatically"...
Plus, some of the "2." errors aren't thrown by my PHP Doctrine code (they're not executed from my localhost, but from another known external service, probably using some old PHP Propel code).
So that might mean there is a problem with my MySQL configuration itself, but I tried changing some parameters without obtaining any obvious effect (sometimes it takes more time after restarting MySQL to get the first errors for example).
Any help would be very much appreciated !
And here is my current configuration (I've got 2 MySQL instances, the second one using replication is mostly for read only).
I also checked most of the system resources with Munin and didn't see anything abnormal (the RAM usage for example is pretty high, but as there is 50Go on the server it's not full at all).
UPDATE
I isolated an SQL query that was repeatedly failing from my PHP Client. When I executed from my local with MySQL Workbench, it did exactly the same (closed the connexion with a MySQL server has gone away message). When I did it from the sql command line it also did the same. Then I executed it from the sql command line on the server host, and it succeded. But some time after when I tried again from Workbench/whatever it worked... So it looks like those "corrupted packets" are cached and disapear after some time.
Thanks, I fixed this issue doing :
RESET QUERY CACHE;
FLUSH QUERY CACHE;
I'm running a Node server connecting to MySQL via the node-mysql module. Connecting to and querying MySQL works great initially without any errors, however, the first query after leaving the Node server idle for a couple hours results in an error. The error is the familiar read ECONNRESET, coming from the depths of the node-mysql module.
A stack trace (note that the three entries of the trace belong to my app's error reporting code):

This error happens both on my cloud Node server and MySQL server as well as a local setup of both.
My questions:
Does this problem appear to be a disconnection of Node's connection to my MySQL server(s), perhaps due to a connection lifetime limitation?
When using connection pools, node-mysql is supposed to gracefully handle disconnections and prune them from the pool. Is it not aware of the disconnect until I make a query, thus making the error unavoidable?
Considering that I see the "read ECONNRESET" error a lot in other StackOverflow posts, should I be looking elsewhere from MySQL to diagnose the problem?
Update: After more browsing, I think my issue is a duplicate of this one. It appears his connection is disconnecting as well, but no one has suggested how to keep the connection alive or how to address the error outside of failing on the first query back.
I reached out to the node-mysql folks on their Github page and got some firm answers.
MySQL does indeed prune idle connections. There's a MySQL variable "wait_timeout" that sets the number of second before timeout and the default is 8 hours. We can set the default to be much larger than that. Use show variables like 'wait_timeout'; to view your timeout setting and set wait_timeout=28800; to change it.
According to this issue, node-mysql doesn't prune pool connections after these sorts of disconnections. The module developers recommended using a heartbeat to keep the connection alive such as calling SELECT 1; on an interval. They also recommended using the node-pool module and its idleTimeoutMillis option to automatically prune idle connections.
If this happens when establishing a single reused connection, it can be avoided by establishing a connection pool instead.
For example, if you're doing something like this...
var db = require('mysql')
.createConnection({...})
.connect(function(err){});
do this instead...
var db = require('mysql')
.createPool({...});
Does this problem appear to be a disconnection of Node's connection to my MySQL server(s), perhaps due to a connection lifetime limitation?
Yes. The server has closed its end of the connection.
When using connection pools, node-mysql is supposed to gracefully handle disconnections and prune them from the pool. Is it not aware of the disconnect until I make a query, thus making the error unavoidable?
Correct, but it should handle the error internally, not pass it back to you. This appears to be a bug in node-mysql. Report it.
Considering that I see the "read ECONNRESET" error a lot in other StackOverflow posts, should I be looking elsewhere from MySQL to diagnose the problem?
It is either a bug in the node-MySQL connection pool implementation, o else you haven't configured it properly to detect failures.
I have been also facing the same issue. Apparently it was happening because one of the backend process has been triggered on table which was being referred in my api.
This caused table to go in lock wait state and my query request got failed with connection reset. Though i'm wondering why i didn't receive lock wait error .
I have a Django app running on Apache with wsgi module.
After few hours of inactivity I get that error and I have to restart the Apache.
Any ideas?
Thanks
This error message mean that the database server has closed the connection to you. I guess this is caused because the connection is idle.
I believe you can get this fixed by adjusting the wait_timeout inside the configuration file of your mysql database server. The file is most commonly named "my.cnf".
This, however, is not considered as a good practice. I would like to suggest you to optimize the application you are writing to open the connection to mysql on demand - there's no point to keep it open if you are not actively using it for a long time.
If you need a quick fix, use the mysql_ping() function to check whether the connection is still alive and re-open if necessary.

I'm getting a SQL Server error:
A transport-level error has occurred
when receiving results from the
server. (provider: Shared Memory
Provider, error: 0 - The handle is
invalid.)
I'm running Sql Server 2008 SP1, Windows 2008 Standard 64 bit.
It's a .Net 4.0 web application. It happens when a request is made to the server. It's intermittent. Any idea how I can resolve it?
The database connection is closed by the database server. The connection remains valid in the connection pool of your app; as a result, when you pickup the shared connection string and try to execute it's not able to reach the database. If you are developing Visual Studio, simply close the temporary web server on your task bar.
If it happens in production, resetting your application pool for your web site should recycle the connection pool.
Try the following command on the command prompt:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled
This turns off the auto scaling abilities of the network stack
I had the same problem. I restarted Visual Studio and that fixed the problem
Transport level errors are often linked to the connection to sql server being broken ... usually network.
Timeout Expired is usually thrown when a sql query takes too long to run.
So few options can be :
Check for the connection in VPN (if used) or any other tool
Restart IIS
Restart machine
Optimize sql queries.
For those not using IIS, I had this issue when debugging with Visual Studio 2010. I ended all of the debugger processes: WebDev.WebServer40.EXE which solved the issue.
All you need is to Stop the ASP.NET Development Server and run the project again
If you are connected to your database via Microsoft SQL Server Management, close all your connections and retry.
Had this error when connected to another Azure Database, and worked for me when closed it.
Still don't know why ..
Look at the MSDN blog which details out this error:
Removing Connections
The connection pooler removes a connection from the pool after it has
been idle for a long time, or if the pooler detects that the
connection with the server has been severed.
Note that a severed connection can be detected only after attempting
to communicate with the server. If a connection is found that is no
longer connected to the server, it is marked as invalid.
Invalid connections are removed from the connection pool only when
they are closed or reclaimed.
If a connection exists to a server that has disappeared, this
connection can be drawn from the pool even if the connection pooler
has not detected the severed connection and marked it as invalid.
This is the case because the overhead of checking that the connection
is still valid would eliminate the benefits of having a pooler by
causing another round trip to the server to occur.
When this occurs, the first attempt to use the connection will detect
that the connection has been severed, and an exception is thrown.
Basically what you are seeing is that exception in the last sentence.
A connection is taken from the connection pool, the application does
not know that the physical connection is gone, an attempt to use it is
done under the assumption that the physical connection is still there.
And you get your exception.
There are a few common reasons for this.
The server has been restarted, this will close the existing connections.
In this case, have a look at the SQL Server log, usually found at:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\\MSSQL\LOG
If the timestamp for startup is very recent, then we can suspect that
this is what caused the error. Try to correlate this timestamp with
the time of exception.
2009-04-16 11:32:15.62 Server Logging SQL Server messages in file
‘C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG’.
Someone or something has killed the SPID that is being used.
Again, take a look in the SQL Server log. If you find a kill, try to
correlate this timestamp with the time of exception.
2009-04-16 11:34:09.57 spidXX Process ID XX was killed by
hostname xxxxx, host process ID XXXX.
There is a failover (in a mirror setup for example) again, take a look in the SQL Server log.
If there is a failover, try to correlate this timestamp with the time
of exception.
2009-04-16 11:35:12.93 spidXX The mirrored database “” is changing roles from “PRINCIPAL” to “MIRROR” due to
Failover.
Was getting this, always after about 5 minutes of operation. Investigated and found that a warning from e1iexpress always occurred before the failure. This apparently is an error having to do with certain TCP/IP adapters. But changing from WiFi to hardwired didn't affect it.
So tried Plan B and restarted Visual Studio. Then it worked fine.
On closer study I noticed that, when working correctly, the message The Thread '<No Name>' has exited with code 0 occurred at almost exactly the time the run crashed in previous attempts. Some Googling reveals that that message comes up when (among other things) the server is trimming the thread pool.
Presumably there was a bogus thread in the thread pool and every time the server attempted to "trim" it it took the app down.
You get this message when your script make SQL Service stopped for some reasons. so if you start SQL Service again perhaps your problem will be resolved.
I know this may not help everyone (who knows, maybe yes), but I had the same problem and after some time, we realized that the cause was something out of the code itself.
The computer trying to reach the server, was in another network, the connection could be established but then dropped.
The way we used to fix it, was to add a static route to the computer, allowing direct access to the server without passing thru the firewall.
route add –p YourServerNetwork mask NetworkMask Router
Sample:
route add –p 172.16.12.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.11.2
I hope it helps someone, it's better to have this, at least as a clue, so if you face it, you know how to solve it.
I got the same error in Visual Studion 2012 development environment, stopped the IIS Express and rerun the application, it started working.
I had the same issue. I solved it, truncating the SQL Server LOG.
Check doing that, and then tell us, if this solution helped you.
For me the solution was totally different.
In my case I had an objectsource which required a datetimestamp parameter. Even though that ODS parameter ConvertEmptyStringToNull was true 1/1/0001 was being passed to SelectMethod. That in turn caused a sql datetime overflow exception when that datetime was passed to the sql server.
Added an additional check for datetime.year != 0001 and that solved it for me.
Weird that it would throw a transport level error and not a datetime overflow error.
Anyways..
In my case the "SQL Server" Server service stopped. When I restarted the service that enabled me to run the query and eliminate the error.
Its also a good idea to examine your query to find out why the query made this service stop
For me the answer is to upgrade the OS from 2008R2 to 2012R2, the solution of iisreset or restart apppool didn't work for me.
I also tried to turn of TCP Chimney Offload setting, but I didn't restart the server because it is a production server, which didn't work either.
We encountered this error recently between our business server and our database server.
The solution for us was to disable "IP Offloading" on the network interfaces.
Then the error went away.
One of the reason I found for this error is 'Packet Size=xxxxx' in connection string. if the value of xxxx is too large, we will see this error. Either remove this value and let SQL server handle it or keep it low, depending on the network capabilities.
It happened to me when I was trying to restore a SQL database and checked following Check Box in Options tab,
As it's a stand alone database server just closing down SSMS and reopening it solved the issue for me.
This occurs when the database is dropped and re-created some shared resources is still considering the database still exists, so when you re-run execute query to create tables in the database after it was re-created the error will not show again and Command(s) completed successfully. message will show instead of the error message Msg 233, Level 20, State 0, Line 0 A transport-level error has occurred when sending the request to the server. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.).
Simply ignore this error when you are dropping and recreating databases and re-execute your DDL queries with no worries.
I faced the same issue recently, but i was not able to get answer in google.
So thought of sharing it here, so that it can help someone in future.
Error:
While executing query the query will provide few output then it will throw below error.
"Transport level error has occurred when receiving output from
server(TCP:provider,error:0- specified network name is no longer
available"
Solution:
Check the provider of that linked server
In that provider properties ,Enable "Allow inprocess" option for that particular provider to fix the issue.
