Attempted to read past end of the stream error in MySQL

Question

I'm running into a problem with MySQL where I have the following error.

MySqlClient.MySqlException: Fatal error encountered during command execution. ---> 
MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException: Fatal error encountered attempting to read the resultset. ---> 
MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException: Reading from the stream has failed. ---> 
System.IO.EndOfStreamException: Attempted to read past the end of the stream.

This error occurs when I have this running overnight. And it happens infrequently, so it is hard to track down WHY it's happening. I am using .NET 3.5 with MySQLConnector 6.2.4.0.

I am running it using the following code.

        public DataSet Read(String query, List<KeyValuePair<String, object>> parameters)
    {
        MySqlDataAdapter adapter = null;
        DataSet returnVal = null;
        if (query != null && query.Length > 0)
        {
            try
            {
                returnVal = new DataSet();
                if (connection.State != ConnectionState.Open)
                {
                    connection.Open();
                }
                query = SQLHelper.formatSQL(query);
                MySqlCommand command = buildCommand(connection, query, parameters);

                Stopwatch stopwatch = new Stopwatch();

                command.CommandTimeout = 120;
                adapter = new MySqlDataAdapter(command);
                log.Debug(adapter.SelectCommand.CommandText);
                stopwatch.Start();
                adapter.Fill(returnVal);
                stopwatch.Stop();
                if (stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds < 150)
                {
                    log.Debug(stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds + "ms to run query");
                }
                else
                {
                    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder("");
                    if (parameters != null)
                    {
                        foreach (KeyValuePair<String, object> kvp in parameters)
                        {
                            sb.Append(kvp.Key);
                            sb.Append(" = ");
                            if (kvp.Value != null)
                            {
                                sb.Append(kvp.Value.ToString());
                            }
                            else
                            {
                                sb.Append("NULL");
                            }
                            sb.Append(", ");
                        }
                    }
                    log.Warn(stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds + "ms to run query: " + adapter.SelectCommand.CommandText + "Values: " + sb.ToString());
                }
            }
            catch (MySqlException msqlex)
            {
                log.Error(msqlex);
                returnVal = null;
                MessageBox.Show(query + "\r\n" + msqlex.ToString());
            }
            finally
            {
            }
        }
        else
        {
            log.Error("Query is empty. Returning null");
        }
        return returnVal;
    }

As you can see, I am not manually attempting to read anything >< I'm doing an adapter.fill(x), so I have no control over reading past the end of the stream.

Why may be this happening?

Please let me know if you need any more details.

It looks like it throws that when the timeout is exceeded. There is a bug fix about it NOT doing so, so if they fixed it, now it does.

connector-net-en.a4.pdf (MySQL Documentation)

MySQL Connector/NET did not throw an EndOfStreamException exception when net_write_timeout was exceeded. (Bug #53439)

Any idea what the solution to this is then? – Luke Feb 21 '15 at 20:25

Thanks! Timeout was the issue. Adding larger value to connection string helps. e.g. `....database=sample_db;ConnectionTimeout=600;DefaultCommandTimeout=600;` – Dhrumil Bhankhar Feb 24 '19 at 12:28
