Huang-Ming> sorry, i should have had studied hard the manual a year ago. regarding the
error, however, would the error message be better to tell users to adjust relevant
configuration than only to say "MySQL gone away"? it's misleading to some serious
fault in MySQL which actually is not therein, isn't it?
The reason is that to guard against wrong usage and faulty
connections, MySQL will abort any transactions that doesn't follow the
protocol it enforces. In this case MySQL notices a packet that is
much bigger than the maximum allowed packet size and it can't know if
the packet is valid or is from someone that is trying to use mysqld in
a way that the MySQL maintainer haven't approved of. Just to be safe,
mysqld will in this case abort the connections and the client will get
the 'MySQL gone away' error.

Monty
