MySQL Workbench How to keep the connection alive

Question

Error Code  2013  Lost connection to MySQL server during query  I am using MySQL Workbench  Also  I am running a batch of inserts  about 1000 lines total  Ex  INSERT INTO mytable SELECT   FROM mysource1  INSERT INTO mytable SELECT   FROM mysource2    mysource3   mysource4 multiplied 1000 times  Each batch takes a considerable amount of time  some of them  more than 600 seconds   How can I configure workbench  to continue working overnight  without stopping and without losing the connection

If you are using a  Standard TCP IP over SSH  type of connection  under  Preferences -  Others  there is  SSH KeepAlive  field  It took me quite a while to find it

I had a similar problem where CREATE FULLTEXT timed out after 30 seconds     Setting DBMS connection read timeout interval to 0 under Edit -  Preferences -  SQL Editor fixed the issue for me     Also  I did not have to restart mysql workbench for this to work

If you are using a  Standard TCP IP over SSH  type of connection  it might be the ssh server that keeps timing out  in which case  you would have to edit TCPKeepAlive related settings in  etc ssh sshd config on your server

In 5 2 47  at least on mac   go the location of the preferences is  MySQLWorkbench- Preferences- SQL Editor  Then you ll see both   DBMS connection keep-alive interval  in seconds   DBMS connection read time out  in seconds    The latter is where you ll want to up the limit from 600 to something a bit more

From the now unavailable internet archive      Go to Edit -  Preferences -  SQL Editor and set to a higher value this parameter  DBMS connection read time out  in seconds   For instance  86400       Close and reopen MySQL Workbench  Kill your previously query that   probably is running and run the query again

OK - so this issue has been driving me crazy - v 6 3 6 on Ubuntu Linux  None of the above solutions worked for me  Connecting to localhost mysql server previously always worked fine  Connecting to remote server always timed out - after about 60 seconds  sometimes after less time  sometimes more   What finally worked for me was upgrading Workbench to 6 3 9 - no more dropped connections
