MySQL Error 3068: Server OK Packet Too Large
Description
Error 3068, 'OK packet too large', indicates that the MySQL server attempted to send a success (OK) response packet to the client, but its size exceeded the configured `max_allowed_packet` limit. This typically occurs when an operation generates an unusually large amount of metadata, warnings, or status information in its final response.
Error Message

Known Causes
3 known causesLarge SHOW Command Output
Executing `SHOW` commands (e.g., `SHOW CREATE TABLE`, `SHOW WARNINGS`) that generate an exceptionally large amount of text or metadata.
Excessive Operation Warnings
Operations like `LOAD DATA INFILE` or complex DDL/DML statements generating a high number of warnings or notes, which are then included in the OK packet.
Inadequate Packet Size Limit
The MySQL server's `max_allowed_packet` configuration variable is set too low to accommodate the expected size of server responses for certain operations.
