I've encounter some strange issue with a update cache_update sql which caused the mysql connection link to be disconnected.
But when i execute it in my mysql query analyser, it seems to be okay...
I'm not sure why it happen in drupal, but it seems to the 250th++ query it is executing via the same connection.
It seems to disconnect very often after that...
What i did was that, i do a mysql_ping before executing any queries...
But i'm concern if the disconnected connection query is successful or not.
Anyone got any idea?

btw, here was my fix, for those who encounter similar issue:

We are a not for profit organisation with a newly developed drupal website. The new website requires some amendments. We are looking for someone Sydney based with previous drupal experience who is also proficient in PHP as we have two large databases attached to the website.
Please contact Zoe Pollock on (02) 9252 8715 or office@historycouncilnsw.org.au for more information.

We are excited to announce the DrupalCon Asia-Pacific Organisers group. DCAPO intends to lay foundations that will facilitate international Drupal Conferences (DrupalCons) in the Asia-Pacific region.

DCAPO welcomes and needs input and assistance from Drupal users and communities throughout the Asia-Pacific region. DrupalCons are a lot of work, and are only possible through the community's effort. Please join the DCAPO group to share your opinions and experience, volunteer your time, or nominate yourself or others for roles on the selection team.

DCAPO will later announce a call to the community to suggest and research locations for the first Asia-Pacific DrupalCon. Note that a lot of work goes into researching locations. The DCAPO selection team will only be able to seriously consider locations with suitable venues, dates and event management companies, financial estimates, potential audience and motivated local teams.

But first, as much of the Asia-Pacific Drupal community as possible needs to get involved. You can help by translating and reposting this announcement on other websites where Asia-Pacific Drupal users and communities are likely to find it. Don't forget to note any translations and reposts in the DCAPO group so that we can track progress and share translations with each other.

Hey everyone!

I was inspired to organise a social event for next month, and this is what I came up with:

I am thinking around Saturday 5th of December, before people start going on holidays and so on. We can meet at the bowling alley at the top of Melbourne Central, next to the Lion and also near the Hoyts ticket office. We'll get some pizzas there while we play, say, 2 games each, and then we can go the Lion for a few beers afterwards.

@ Alma Technology, 81 First Avenue Sawtell.

Later than expected, and with less notice than desirable, it's the November Coffs Drupallers Meetup! As usual the agenda is set by whoever turns up, so if you want to learn about something in particular, turn up.

The October Brisbane Drupal meetup is coming up on Tuesday 27th October. This meet-up will be an informal social get-together. Previous social meet-ups have been popular, and this one will similarly be a great chance to chat with others who understand your Drupal passion :)

Same time (6pm for a coffee/meal and 7pm for the discussion), same place:

Cafe 26
26 Station Rd,

We are looking to upgrade our two sites (www.premiertraveltasmania.com - www.tasmanien-urlaub.de) from version 5.3 to 6.x. Since there are no exotic modules I think that the work should be reasonably straightforward. Timeframe: as soon as possible.
