Hi Sacha, Thx a lot for your reply you wrote:

It takes hours till these results are erased and i even don't know where the period when they are erased come from. I still hope this is set in a server-variable. >I would also check to see if there might be some simple fixes >, such as adding appropriate keys to the tables, that would optimize the slow >queries. The problem is, that i can't prevent queries like SELECT * FROM <TABLE> WHERE <COLUMN> LIKE 'a%' where an index will not help on a Table > 100.000.000 records. It's not that we have to answer hese queries (therefore the timeout), but it's impossible to prevent dumm users. >The solution I would propose is to maintain a separate connection on which the KILL >commands will be sent for the long queries. I did this (by reading processlist and kiliing any process that lasts longer then 20 seconds) and it works fine, but it is not such a 'proper' solution. I still hope there is a way to get that by setting up the server. Thx a lot again Klaus ----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Sasha Pachev [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Dienstag, 17.

However, a disconnect on the socket will tell the server to stop sending the data and clean up. The problem in this case, I suspect, is that the disconnect happens in the pre-data-sending stage, which is possibly quite lengthy. The solution I would propose is to maintain a separate connection on which the KILL commands will be sent for the long queries. And, I would also check to see if there might be some simple fixes , such as adding appropriate keys to the tables, that would optimize the slow queries. -- Sasha Pachev Create online surveys at http://www.surveyz.com/ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
