MySQL的wait_timeout_MySQL

没有修改过MySQL的配置，缺省情况下，wait_timeout的初始值是28800

wait_timeout过大有弊端，其体现就是MySQL里大量的SLEEP进程无法及时释放，拖累系统性能，不过也不能把这个指设置的过小，否则你可能会遭遇到“MySQL has gone away”之类的问题

mysql> set global wait_timeout=20;

mysql> show global variables like 'wait_timeout';
+----------------------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+----------------------------+-------+
| wait_timeout |20 |
+----------------------------+-------+

今天发现很多sleep的进程，mysql给出的原因为3个：

1 The client program did not call mysql_close() before exiting.

2 The client had been sleeping more than wait_timeout or interactive_timeout seconds without issuing any requests to the server.

3 The client program ended abruptly in the middle of a data transfer
