    I had this kind of problem, my MySQL kept crashing....... I couldnt see why, even my hosting support were stumped..... But after a while, the problem went away.

    I would check tables and repair them if errors are found, maybe run a bash script as a cron every week... As I hear corrupt databases can do weird things to MySQL.

    Agree with Pedsters. Plus, check and ensure that it doesn't have any space issues. If you are hosting with a hosting company, your database can get corrupted if you run out of hosting space.

    Pick up a book called "innocent code". It lists ways that someone could attack you with sql injection & some of the neccesary steps to take to prevent that. And it also includes more site security topics too.

    Lost connection to MySQL server during query.

    this could happen if server is busy
    by default mysql is only set to accept 100conections
