Access Violation after long query

I have connected to a remote server and ran a select query that was taking long to process. After about 2 minutes Heidi crashed. When I pressed continue I got a message "Lost connection to mysql server", and the program hang taking up 100% CPU. It might be possible that Heidi crashed when the query finished executing beause that's what process list soon revealed.

Just a tip, if this happens often.

The same thing (100% cpu) appears in MYSQL query browser ('badly' written queries). So since I don't have multicore CPU, that means computer hangs, on win xp, I installed 'Process tammer' - look for it on google. It helps, like in 99% of cases, so you can kill mysqld process without restaring comp. Same queries do allso 'hang' on linux but there I have multicore CPU, or is it Linux ? that enables me to restart mysqld.

BubikolRamios, in this case I don't think the problem has anything to do with badly written queries because I was connecting to a remote db so the query wasn't running on my computer at all. It was heidisql's process using 100% CPU.

Did not mean bad as bad, but in sence of not using indexes, using some stuff that makes mysql slow, ...

I know but this makes no difference anyway - the query was not run on my computer so it was the remote server that could have high CPU usage not my computer, therefore there was no reason for high CPU usage on my end.

But there is another possibility: after 2 minutes the server might have started to send back a large result set which somehow overwhelmed Heidi and possibly made it to run into an infinite loop, hence 100% CPU.

Hmm, don't know how hsql operates internaly but I think it has default limit like 100000, but not sure if that limit is automaticaly included into sql.

tested that, on remote server:
1. select from huge_table
--> did not wait, managed to crash hsql with stop button
2. select from huge_table limit 100.000
it ignores tools/preferences/data/number of rows displayed

That is, I thik 'large result' should be by default limited to
100.000.

I get the same crash on a result set of 2250
