I've been using a perl script to insert a very large blob (up to about 8 MB) into a DB successfully, but now I need to do it with a 34 MB BLOB, so I upgraded to MySQL 4.0.1. First off, I can't get max_allowable_packet to go higher than 64M, regardless of what I set it to, but that shouldn't be the problem, right? But I still keep getting
DBD::mysql::st execute failed: MySQL server has gone away when it tries to do the insert or update. It continues to work fine for smaller files. The field is a longblob, BTW. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And please don't tell me not to store large blobs in the database. I wouldn't be doing it if I didn't have to.
