this query is "select * from ogcount" which is a table containing 1 record, so probably not the packet size, though that's very good info to know. I'm going to see if I get the same error if I use a JDBC driver instead of ODBC. -L

If you are doing a very large INSERT statement, that's probably what happened. Either split your INSERT into chunks smaller than max_allowed_packet or increase the server's limit until it lets your command through.
