Could you please verify if the server increments the aborted_client status variables when affected for the situations mentioned at: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/communication-errors.html If Aborted connections messages appear in the error log, the cause can be any of the following: * The client program did not call mysql_close() before exiting. * The client had been sleeping more than wait_timeout or interactive_timeout seconds without issuing any requests to the server. See Section 5.2.2, “Server System Variables”. * The client program ended abruptly in the middle of a data transfer. When any of these things happen, the server increments the Aborted_clients status variable. Thank you in advance.

Aborted_clients is too high, not too low. So either Aborted_clients is incremented multiple times per connection or Connections is not (always) incremented.

That proof that the clients aren't using mysql_close, they are exceeding the timeout and so on.

But I'm not asking why Aborted_clients is so high. I'm asking why it's higher than Connections itself. Connections is the number of created connections. How can you abort more connections than you create?

And what is the value of Threads_created status variable and thread_cache_size server variable? Had you flushed status since startup?

484112: Threads_created 0: thread cache size

I may have used flush status, but I'm not sure.

It looks like a bug for me. But we need a repeatable test case. So, please, try to repeat the problem after server restart (I was not able to do it yet). The uname -a results for your system may be also useful.

Linux xwis.net 2.6.12-1-686-smp #1 SMP Tue Sep 27 13:10:31 JST 2005 i686 GNU/Linux I'll try to produce a repeatable test case.

Got it. I you don't call mysql_close, aborted is increased twice. OS -> * as Windows is affected too.

You a right! Verified with 5.0.19-BK (ChangeSet@1.2015.1.1, 2006-01-30 22:52:15+03:00) on Linux, and with some older version on Windows. To repeat, just open mysql session, execute SHOW STATUS to get Aborted_clients and Connections values, store them, then kill -9 the mysql process (or just close the cmd.exe window where it runs, in case of Windows). In the new mysql session execute SHOW STATUS to get the same values. You will see: mysql> show status like 'Aborted%'; +------------------+-------+ | Variable_name | Value | +------------------+-------+ | Aborted_clients | 2 | | Aborted_connects | 0 | +------------------+-------+ 2 rows in set (0.01 sec) mysql> show status like 'Conn%'; +---------------+-------+ | Variable_name | Value | +---------------+-------+ | Connections | 5 | +---------------+-------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) Connections incremented by 1, and Aborted_clients incremented by 2. It is either a bug or a documentation request.

A patch for this bug has been committed. After review, it may be pushed to the relevant source trees for release in the next version. You can access the patch from: http://lists.mysql.com/commits/34176 ChangeSet@1.2524, 2007-09-13 17:30:44+04:00, anozdrin@station. +2 -0 Bug#16918: Aborted_clients > Connections. The problem was that aborted_threads variable was updated twice when a client connection had been aborted. The fix is to refactor a code to have aborted_threads updated only in one place.

Noted in 5.0.52, 5.1.23 changelogs. The Aborted_clients status variable was incremented twice if a client exited without calling mysql_close().
