I verified this bug when sending a blob bigger than max block size which is about 16M

Fixed in 5.0.3

I don't use BLOB in my database...Anything else can cause such bug ?

Thanks in advance

This error could be caused by several things.  If you continue to get this problem with 5.0.3, you can reopen this bug report or create a new one.  Also, if you could post a test case that reproduced it or some additional info that would be helpful.

Thanks

Hi Reggie, 

I found a way to reproduce the bug. The bug arrives when the mysql connector is connected to a distant database and the mysql service shutdown and restart after.

The firsts errors to come is :
MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException: Reading from the stream has failed. ---> System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine. ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine

   --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
   at System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream.Read(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size)
   at System.IO.BufferedStream.ReadByte()
   at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlStream.LoadPacket()
   --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
   at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlStream.LoadPacket()
   at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlStream.OpenPacket()
   at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.NativeDriver.ReadOk(Boolean read)
   at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.NativeDriver.SetDatabase(String dbName)
   at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection.ChangeDatabase(String database)
   at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection.Open()

Followed by somme errors like : 
MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException: Connection unexpectedly terminated.
   at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlStream.LoadPacket()
   at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlStream.OpenPacket()
   at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.NativeDriver.ReadOk(Boolean read)
   at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.NativeDriver.SetDatabase(String dbName)
   at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection.ChangeDatabase(String database)
   at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection.Open()

And followed by :
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.NativeDriver.Configure(MySqlConnection connection)
   at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection.Open()

The connector never reconnect to the mysql server....

I must close my service and restart it after.

The first time I had this bug, the mysql server rebooted at 3 am for windows update I think....

Thank you in advance

Thanks for the update.  I'll check 5.0.3 against your report.

FWIW I seem to be having this same problem.  It only seems to happen overnight, although I know in the case of last night my Win2k server did not reboot for an update but I awoke to the problem anyway.  It is then likely to be caused by the idle time instead (I have tried this during the day after a couple hours idle time without error, but maybe it needs 6-8 hours idle time?)  I know of two ways to cure the problem when it occurs: 1) re-start IIS (my code runs on an ASP .NET website) similar to Gauthier's solution, 2) connect to the same MySQL instance using MySQL Connector from a different app.

I am using 5.0.3, installed just a couple of days ago.
[17 Jan 2007 14:11] David Loomer
I should add that by "connecting to the MySQL instance using MySQL Connector from a different app" I mean that this other app is an EXE.  So in other words, this app had not been running and therefore would not have had any open connections etc, as opposed to my website which of course is a service.  So something about starting up the app seemed to wake something up, which my website is unable to do.

Getting this as well.
Have also been able to reproduce this on a consistent basis by doing the following:
1. Console Application spawns 10 threads.
2. Call a simple web service in each thread 10x
3. Web service attempts an insert to MySQL database.
4. Get error.

Reducing the number of threads causes the problem to go away.

Getting this too. Any news on when a fix will be available?
[29 Jan 2007 14:11] bogdan kecman
Getting the error on simple select when more then 5000 rows in result set and compression turned on. so .. 

string connStr = String.Format("server={0};user id={1}; password={2}; database={3}; pooling=false; port={4}; CharSet=utf8; Connection Timeout=999; compress=true",...);
conn = new MySqlConnection( connStr );
cmd = new MySqlCommand("SELECT * FROM t1", conn);
reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
while (reader.Read()){...}

this makes "reading from stream has failed" exception after approx 5000 rows. (never before 1000, allways after 5000, somethimes between 1000 - 5000)

I get this error on 5.0.1, 5.0.2 and also on 5.0.3 

on 5.0.3 when compression is off I do not get the error, but if compression is on i get error every time after 5000 rows.

any1 with idea ?

Setting to NDI while the bug is re-investigated.

I'm getting this too.
Is there a fix or a workaround for this problem?

Thanks

Probably related to Bug#27865, Bug#28204 & Bug#28692.

I hade the same problem. I was using mysql.data.dll version 5.something.

Believe it or not, I deleted the dll, and placed the 1.0.7.30072 version and the problem dissapeared.  I tried with this version because I had a couple apps that didn't have this problem.  So now I am using version 1 on all of them.

I use MySQL Server 5 and ASP.NET 2.0

I will stick to this old 1.0.7.30072 version forever I think, since it has never given me any problems.

I am experiencing the same problem.  It happens just like in David's case.  I only seem to get this error over-night.  It is a winforms application with about 5 connections on seperate threads.  I am using version 5.0.8.1
[6 Nov 2008 2:34] Fredrik
Getting this as well. Happens every time the app has been idle for about an hour. Right after the error is thrown, it works again.

Same problem in two completely different applications - where one of them is using ADO.net feature, meaning i didn't write a single piece of SQL code myself. So it's definatively a bug in the driver - not my code.

Can anybody match this "Dhcp Error" for the servers EVENTLOG\System?

The description for Event ID 1002 from source Dhcp cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

Since only Bogdan provided valid test case I'll reply to that first. Using compression was not properly handled in server but that bug was recently closed. I expect this to fix behavior in connectors too. IMO, expanded stream went over max_allowed_packet, which can not be set dynamically, causing the problem.

Second problem is server rebooting. There is no way for connector to trap this as it can be a flaky network, actual reboot or many other things. This can be bypassed, imo, by using pooling mechanism, pinging the server in code etc but since there is no complete test case, I'm only guessing.

Third problem presented was crash with multiple threads against IIS. Here, I believe, the problem comes from either exceeding number of worker threads in IIS or maxing out connections to MySQL server or both. Again, without really good documentation on environment and a test case attached there is no way to check anything.

Closing the report now as Reggie has addressed the only real bug I see here in his patch.
