Cannot connect whilst mysql is performing an update

[Mark Buckland]

Hi there,

Whilst an array of update queries are being performed (via the mysql command line), I cannot connect to the server (via mysql connector v3.1.10). I get the following error:


QLException: Communications link failure due to underlying exception:

** BEGIN NESTED EXCEPTION **

java.net.SocketException
MESSAGE: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect

STACKTRACE:

java.net.SocketException: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect
at com.mysql.jdbc.StandardSocketFactory.connect(StandardSocketFactory.java:156)
at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.<init>(MysqlIO.java:283)

at com.mysql.jdbc.Connection.<init>(Connection.java:1474)
at com.mysql.jdbc.NonRegisteringDriver.connect(NonRegisteringDriver.java:264)
....

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas to resolve this. It does seem that the server is simply too busy to accept the connection.

Thanks :-)

Mark.
