Description:
I am  using a service .Net that connect to Mysql server 5.6 and move data between two  databases of the server. The versions of all elements are:

-Mysql server 5.6 (Percona xtraback).
-Windows 6.1 7601
-Versión .NET Framework 4.5.51209
-MySQL.Data 6.9.5.0(connector .Net)

The problem is that randomly this process don't connect and lunch the following error:

"Reading from the stream has failed"

I have searched if could be a bug, but only I have seen bugs that would be solved: exceeded net_write_timeout no longer should lunch this exception. Then, I would comment that I can't open other connection by checking the last one because this connection should be the same.   

How I can solve this issue?

Thanks. 

How to repeat:
-Connect with .net connector to mysql server 5.6(Percona)

Hello Felix de Lelis,

Thank you for the bug report.
This is a duplicate of Bug #72110, please see the explaination by dev's in #72110.

Quoting from #72110 - [21 May 15:40] Francisco Alberto Tirado Zavala:

When you are working with a Client-Server application all the connections are performed by Sockets, when you create a connection you open a Socket between your client and your server, and an Id/ProccesId is assigned/reserved in the server for the connection requested by the client. Also you must consider that the server can terminate or close a connection if the connection is inactive after some time, so you need to create a new valid connection opening a new socket to get a valid Id from the server.

If you can't change the design in your application (having a global connection), as a workaround you can have a method to validate that the connection is valid, for example the following method ping the server and if the ping fails it open the connection again:

. . .
MySqlConnection _conn = new MySqlConnection("MyConnectionString");
private void CheckConnection()
{
   if(!_conn.Ping())
   {
     _conn.Open();
   }
}
. . .

As you can see the code is very simple and it works in the following way: when the connection try to ping the server if the connection is invalid, internally the stream that has the socket information will be terminated and the connection will be set on status closed as well as the invalid connection will be removed, then opening the connection again will create a new connection which means a new valid socket. If the ping succeed so you will continue using the same connection.

To use it you can call it before trying to perform an action to the database, and the connection will be re-opened just when is invalid:

. . .
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  //assuming that the connection is already open
  CheckConnectionState();
  var cmd = new MySqlCommand("select 1", _conn);
  cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
. . .

This is just a workaround, and as far I know all the connections to any database server will have the same behavior.

Thanks,
Chiranjeevi.

I am having the same issue. I find that when I run the program from within visual studio, it is fine. When I run it as a scheduled task, it gives me the exception about 50% of the time. I don't think there is a problem with a stale connection, as the program opens the connection and uses it right away.

This is my source:

Imports System.Xml
Imports System.Xml.Linq
Imports MySql.Data.MySqlClient

Module Module1

    Sub Main()

        Dim MySQLConn As New MySqlConnection(My.Settings.MySQLConnectionString)
        Dim MySqlMasterRows As Integer = 0
        Dim watch As Stopwatch = Stopwatch.StartNew()

        If MySQLConn.Ping() = False Then
            MySQLConn.Open()
        End If

My connection string is: 
Server=localhost;Database=documenter;Uid=doc;Pwd=xxxxx;

The exception I get is this:

Unhandled Exception: MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException: Authentication to host 'localhost' for user 'doc' using method 'mysql_native_password' failed with message: Reading from the stream has failed. ---> 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

I thought that connection pooling or IP address might make a difference, but it appears that it does not. I changed my connection string to the following with no luck:

Server=127.0.0.1;Database=documenter;Uid=doc;Pwd=xxxx;pooling=false;
[29 Jul 2015 12:39] Chiranjeevi Battula
Hello scott mankowitz,

Thank you for your feedback.
I could not repeat the issue using with MySQL Connector/Net 6.9.6 and event scheduled tasks.
The error is due to server closing the socket due to timeout, so the client side can do little here, but you can certainly try:

a) Increase the net_write_timeout & net_read_timeout (like 999999).
b) Read the data in small chunks, like
select * from table1 limit 1,100000
select * from table1 limit 100000,199999
select * from table1 limit 199999,299999 
and so on.
Please check if the workaround suggested by dev's(pls see #57365 - [11 Oct 2012 3:27] Fernando Gonzalez Sanchez) works.
Feel free to open the bug if the workaround doesn't work(include details of log file,if having scheduler information and exact steps to reproduce the issue at our end)

Thanks,
Chiranjeevi.

Hi. I'm not sure you understand. I am getting the exception when I attempt to connect to the database, not when I try to read from it. Here is the exception:

Hello scott mankowitz,

Thank you for your feedback.
Try to login into your mysql database from the command prompt using your username/password, if it is working no problem in database side.
Please make sure your network having sufficient permissions or not.
Feel free to open the bug if your are having same issue(include details of log file and exact steps to reproduce the issue at our end).

Thanks,
Chiranjeevi.

Chiranjeevi Battula:

1. The problem is not with correct password. When I run the script from within visual studio, it works fine. The problem only arises when I run it from the task scheduler. 

2. I have found a possible solution. I found that if I explicitly close the connection at the end of the script, it seems to work. I don't know if there's more to it than that, but it has been working for the past few days.

Hello scott mankowitz,

Thank you for your feedback.
I'm glad that you found a solution for your problem and let us know if you are still having the issue with complete repeatable steps.

Thanks,
