Anyone having problems running HeidiSQL (5.1) on Win7 x64???

Running even the latest nightly build version is causing my PC to crash when I browse to any table in MySQL database. Basically system freezes, hard drive light comes on and my memory consumption jumps to 90% and then back to 30%. This occurs with no other applications running and ~30% memory consumed by background processes. My machine (T500) has 3 gb. of RAM and is running Windows 7 x64.

J

I have nearly the same configuration here: Win7 64bit, 4GB RAM, Intel E8400 3GHz. I am running official releases, latest builds, and pre-builds without any problem. So it's unlikely this is a OS related problem. More likely: a wrong or old libmysq.dll ?

Tried cleaning out old version of HeidiSQL and reinstalled 5.0.0.3272. Started up without problems but after a period of time, application became unresponsive (after clicking on multiple tables within my database).

Seems the problem is still there. The libmysql.dll does not have a version number when I right-click its properties. Am I going to have to compile/debug this myself?

Thanks.

You could update to the latest build and hover your mouse over the status bar panel saying "MySQL x.x" - that will show a hint which includes the libmysql.dll version number.

Ok - I updated to the latest build 5.1.0.3378. The nightly build does not include an updated libmysql.dll. The libmysql.dll is for HeidiSQL 5.0.0.3272 currently. Anything else? I am clicking on multiple tables and switching views in HeidiSQL....and now my computer just crashed. This is really strange - HD light stays illuminated and I can hear it thrashing....then finally my system comes back (icons get distorted, windows are black). After it comes back...system is back to normal but memory(I believe) issue always comes back up in HeidiSQL.

I really think this is a memory leak problem in HeidiSQL - no other application I have freezes up my machine like this. Video driver conflict???

Thanks.

> The nightly build does not include an updated libmysql.dll

Well I didn't say so, I just meant you could update your build as the above mentioned status bar hint was implemented recently.

Ok - well I was confused by your comment "that will show a hint which includes the libmysql.dll version number" implying I thought that libmysql.dll was included. In any case when I hover over the status bar panel all it says is "5.1.0.3378" so I assume 3378 is the version of libmysql.dll?

Will running in debug mode help (would require downloading source and running the app. in Delphi correct)? Thank you.

> so I assume 3378 is the version of libmysql.dll?

No, that's the HeidiSQL Subversion revision. It's the "Client version (libmysql.dll)" which is relevant here.

So...what now? Do you want me to send you my libmysql.DLL?

I want you to look after the version number which is displayed right besides "Client version (libmysql.dll)" in that hint on your status bar, and then report this version here, so I can tell you if you need a newer dll.

I really want to help myself here but...wait ok...think I found what you meant by status bar hint (I was holding my mouse over the HeidiSQL icon in my taskbar)! Anyways, the version that comes up when I hold my mouse over the in-application status icon lower center of main application window is:
"Client version (libmysql):5.1.44"

Thanks.

J

Ok, that version is fine, looks like the original one from the installer. So that's not the problem here.

Any other suggestions?

I have no clue, sorry. Never heard that before.

Hi,

I'm heaving the same problem after upgrading to heidisql5.1 after working with the 5.0beta for a long time. The horrible thing is that after uninstalling the 5.1 also the 5.0 makes the same problems now!!!! Win 7 x64 freezes and gets black windows!

What the hell is going on???? Please help!!!!!

Ah sorry, what I should mention. The application breaks down when I try to open the table tab and view the columns. I can view the tables contents without any problems...

MySQL-Server is 5.1.42-community. Windows und Mysql restartet hundred of times.

Probably you both have some special configuration, e.g. large fonts / 120 DPI or so?

Mmmmhh, I've got 1680x1050 and changed nothing else. What I don't understand is why the problem is now affecting the old version, too. After upgrading to 5.1 and downgrading to 5.0 again. Does the 5.1-installer changes any files which are not deleted with the uninstaller? or changes in the registry?

I will send you an screenshot of the freezing state. Maybe this will help...

No files are touched since 4.0 release, apart from the libmysql.dll which is likely not a problem here. More likely some registry value which is out of integer range or so.

Please try r3389 - I blindly fixed some suspicious code there.

This leads to the following error when trying to open any database:

Ups sorry, forgot to copy the file in the programms dir...
This fix helps a little bit! I can now see the top part of the table options, but still not the columns. and only for one table. after clicking the second one the problems return.

I guess you are at the right point... :-)

I have no more ideas currently.

jacdc, henkel_1111 solved this (he wrote a pm) by resetting the HeidiSQL registry key:
- quit all Heidi sessions
- start regedit.exe
- rename HCKU\Software\HeidiSQL\ to ...\HeidiSQL___\
- start Heidi

That way all registry keys are recreated as needed. Seems to have fixed one or more particular values which contained huge numbers or probably long strings.

Just a follow-up to this - I am still experiencing daily crashes of HeidiSQL when I click on the SQL Query window. Doing so creates a memory dump due likely to a column width/size value that allocates more memory than is available. I am running a nightly build - 3272 now and this error still occurs. Thanks!

Resetting the registry seems to work but only temporarily.

r3272 is 200 revisions behind the latest build - any plans for updating? Not sure but there may have been some change which heals this problem magically.

I would hope too in 200+ revisions that this issue would have been resolved but my HeidiSQL just crashed again when expanding it to full screen after connecting to my database. This happened with rev. 3489. I just downloaded 3492 which appears to have some column width calculation fixes...keeping my fingers crossed!Thanks.

I have the same Problem on a Win7 x64 System and on a win2k system, too.

The registry-hint just solved the problem. So I started with a default configuration and changed it step by step back to the old "crash"-settings. After changing "Preferences->Data->Number of rows displayed in data tab (Step, Maximum)" to 0/0, the program chrashs when I open a data-tab, so I think, there´s the issue.

Btw: The tab-order of that tab ist horrible.

I permanently install all nightly builds. This issue occured ca. two month ago.

What´s the suggested option if you want always see all rows in the data-tab (no step, no maximum) ?

Just try setting both settings to huge values?

Yeah, I already tried that. Works fine - even with big tables.
Even though there is a limit at 100000 in the maximum field (bigger values are set to this maximum)

I preliminarily thought that setting this option to 0/0 is the same as a default clicked "show all" button. But that was obviously wrong.

It doesn´t matter for me, if the "always show everything"-option is not available (the big values are workaround enough), but it´s annoying if the program crashes and you don´t know why. And using Heidi without the data-tab is not really funny :)

OT: There is another thing I like to ask: Why was the query-execution-time-info moved from the query-tab to a hint in the SQL-log ?

> Why was the query-execution-time-info moved ...?
To save space above the sub tabs of the query results. This was already asked by other users and I would be glad to move it again somewhere I only don't know where.

Just updated to build 3546 as build 3492 still did not fix this crashing issue. Any specific changes to address this in the latest nightly build?

Thanks.

J

No related changes recently.

Could you please give me an update on what crash you're talking about? Most helpful would be a fresh call stack.

This was the crash whereby if I click on the Data tab after opening the MySQL database, the application would freeze and all of my other application windows become unresponsive and not refresh. Also, the hard drive light stays on repeatedly indicating a memory dump. If I resize the HeidiSQL window repeatedly for a period of 30 secs., the application window gradually redraws and after about 1-2 minutes of doing this and letting finish the memory flush, do all of my windows come back.

Basically, this is the same problem as I noted at the beginning of this thread with no real improvement seen in 250+ builds. I don't have a call stack or a debug environment to test this. Is there something else I can provide when/if this problem occurs again (it does not happen everytime I use HeidiSQL)?

Again, I just updated to build 3546 from 3492 and hope the problem is fixed.

J

Why should that be fixed if you downgrade?

I am unable to reproduce such a crash. Probably the table you are trying to view gives us a hint - assumed that it is one specific table, not all tables, is it? If it's one specific table, please post the CREATE TABLE code here. Thanks.

No - not a specific table in my db - happens with all tables and I currently have my number of rows set to the default of 300. Also - my previous comment "just updated to build 3546 from 3492" means I upgraded to a newer build correct?

Oh sorry, I misread your sentenceof course that's an upgrade, not a downgrade.

Can you give me some specification of the machine and/or the relevant server which is mentionable? I have no chance to help you if there is nothing special there: Server version, Client OS (still Win2k?).

You can also try to reset all of your HeidiSQL configuration stuff (probably most promising solution, if you did not already try that):
- close all heidisql instances
- start regedit.exe
- go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\
- rename or delete the "HeidiSQL" subfolder
- restart HeidiSQL and recreate your session parameters (this is of course inconveniant - sorry, just an idea how to fix)

Ok - will try the registry reset (think this helped in the past but the crashes started to come up again after a period of 2-3 weeks). My system configuration is the same:

Thinkpad T500
3 GB RAM
ATI 3650 video card
300 GB hard drive

OS: Windows 7 x64

Thanks.
BTW: The newest build 3546 does not seem to improve this crashing issue.


J

BTW - that was Windows 7 Ultimate x64

J

I found the following when going in to reset my HeidiSQL registry entries:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HeidiSQL\WindowPos_0x_0y_1680w_1050h]
"windowstate"="Maximized"
"windowleft"=dword:00000087
"windowtop"=dword:0000018a
"windowwidth"=dword:00000457
"windowheight"=dword:00000226

I did not see this before with previous builds but would this help to try and reproduce the problem? I am running at the max resolution my screen supports - 1680 x 1050 and I think this might have something to do with the column width calculation problem noted earlier in this post.

I will delete this and the HeidiSQL Server entries and start from scratch to see if the problem goes away or improves.

J

Yes, please just remove the whole HeidiSQL folder and start again.

I had similar problems on table edit tab with both v.5.1 and v.6.0 on Win7pro x64.

My solution was to disable Aero and now the problems are gone.

It seems that the table edit tab is not compatible with Aero (or perhaps ATI FirePro specifically).


Description:

In 5.1 the interface within tab "Table: <tablename>" changed each time I returned to it (contents within shifted right and down each time and soon disappeared completely). In 6.0 the problem was even more severe: as soon I open the tab and then click on any subtab in there the whole display went weird, like if I after that right clicked on desktop even that context menu went black (it shows then immediately hides behind black rectangle). And when I close heidisql the
taskbar won't redraw for quite some time. When I open task manager in order to see utilization it draws "SYS" parts of the interface while the middle of the window is black. Same for all other programs.

IMO: something must have gone wrong with WM_PAINT events systemwide, I would guess for either resouce leak or backreference of sorts.

hth.

You have placed the heidisql.r3389.exe into the wrong directory. Move it to where you have installed HeidiSQL and this is fixed. This exception is caused by an outdated libmysql.dll which is somewhere in your system's PATH and taken instead of the one located in c:\program files\HeidiSQL\.
