Bug #2103	"Lost connection to MySQL server during query" on UPDATE
Submitted:	12 Dec 2003 3:28	Modified:	12 Dec 2003 9:37
Reporter:	Andreas Granstedt	Email Updates:
Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Server	Severity:	S2 (Serious)
Version:	4.0.13	OS:	Linux (Linux/Debian)
Assigned to:	MySQL Verification Team	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
When runnning the attached test case, the result is "Lost connection to MySQL server during query" 

I think there's something to do with the WHERE clause below:
... UPDATE <table1>, <table2> SET <table1>.<field of type string> = '' WHERE '' <> '' ....

Attached a test case!

How to repeat:
CREATE TABLE client (
  id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  name varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
  address varchar(255) default NULL,
  zipCode varchar(20) default NULL,
  state varchar(50) default NULL,
  phone varchar(30) default NULL,
  fax varchar(30) default NULL,
  www varchar(100) default NULL,
  notes text,
  parent_id int(11) default NULL,
  user_id int(11) default NULL,
  regDate date NOT NULL default '0000-00-00',
  regTime time NOT NULL default '00:00:00',
  regBy int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  active int(11) NOT NULL default '1',
  par_id int(11) default NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (id),
  KEY user_id (user_id),
  KEY regBy (regBy)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

CREATE TABLE client_contact (
  id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  name varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',
  phone varchar(30) default NULL,
  cellPhone varchar(30) default NULL,
  email varchar(50) default NULL,
  title varchar(50) default NULL,
  notes text,
  client_id int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  regDate date NOT NULL default '0000-00-00',
  regTime time NOT NULL default '00:00:00',
  par_id int(11) default NULL,
  active int(11) NOT NULL default '1',
  PRIMARY KEY  (id),
  KEY client_id (client_id)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

UPDATE client, client_contact SET client.phone = '' WHERE '' <> '' AND client.name = 'Testforetaget' AND client_contact.name = 'Person A' AND client_contact.client_id = client.id;

Verified against 4.0.17/Linux.  Thank you.
