FireDAC Lost connection to MySQL server during query

Question

I have two FireDAC connections on my application, one is intended to be used on a MySQL Server that is on LAN and store private data of the my shop (like sales, products, etc), and the another one is connected to a remote (internet) MySQL Server, and it randomly give me a exception

First chance exception at $745AA882. Exception class
EMySQLNativeException with message '[FireDAC][Phys][MySQL] Lost
connection to MySQL server during query'.

Is this a issue on FireDAC, my code or the remote MySQL Server? Using NAVICAT software I have no problem.

Answer 1

This error usually occurs because the Internet Connectivity is not stable and connection closed during exchanging data

Sometimes you can solve this issue with increasing the connection Time-Out (and ReadTimeOut )

Sometimes this error occurs because you are trying to send or receive large amount of data like Blob fields and you should increase the max_allowed_packet variable of MySQL Server to solve the problem

The next suggestion for solving this problem is avoiding dns lookup by adding skip-name-resolve to the settings of your MySQL Server

The Main reasons of this problem is connection stability and MySQL Server Settings
