Hi, in the standard configuration of a mysql server the 'max_allowed_packet' variable is set to '1M' which is the maximal data amount received in client interaction (with the mysql client you can supply the buffer size when starting the client, but not with jdbc). You can query this parameter from the command prompt with: mysqladmin variables or the mysql client prompt with: show variables You can set this server variable at startup. Either by providing a line: set-variable = max_allowed_packet=16M in the [mysqld] section of your /etc/my.cnf as described here: http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_MySQL_Database_Adm inistration.html#Option_files or by supplying as a parameter at the command line when starting the server: --set-variable=max_allowed_packet=16M Greetings, Marcus > -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Candide Kemmler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Gesendet: Mittwoch, 12.
