Re: Connect to MySQL: PacketTooGBigException

[Filipe Silva]

There seems to be some kind of confusion here. Was this the setting you had when you got the stack trace you pasted in the first post?

Anyway, you may want to stick to the maximum packet size defined in the server and as such you don't need to set the 'maxAllowedPacket' in the connection string. Have you tried without setting it?

Moreover, you cannot set a 'maxAllowedPacket' value in the client higher than the server's 'max_allowed_packet' value. In such case the driver silently falls back to the lowest of the two values. Not that it seems to be your case but keep that in mind.
