Question

I am using Java+MySql. I am trying to add bulk data (around 40 million records). My application works fine for couple of hundred thousands records but after that it starts giving me following exception:

Exception in thread "main" com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure

The last packet sent successfully to the server was 0 milliseconds ago. The driver has not received any packets from the server.

I googled this problem and tried almost every option (updating windows registry, changing my.cnf file, changing mysql global parameters etc.) but its not working.

Answer 1

It seems connection isn’t being closed properly. I would recommend you to use connection-pooling
