Automatic Clean the idle Connection in MariaDB/MySQL:

Interactive operation: this means opening the MySQL client on your local computer and doing various SQL operations on the command prompt.

INTERACTIVE_TIMEOUT is used to automatically clean the interactive connection in MariaDB/MySQL. The number of seconds the server waits for activity on an interactive connection before closing it

Non-interactive: means calls from the program. Example Tomcat Web service call to the database server through JDBC to connect etc.

WAIT_TIMEOUT is used to automatically clean the idle connection in MariaDB/MySQL.

The number of seconds the server waits for activity on a connection before closing it.

Note: Default time for both is 28800 seconds i.e. 8 hours

Check the Variables Values:

SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'wait_timeout';

Variable_name           |Value|

------------------------+-----+

wait_timeout            |28800|

show global variables like '%interactive_timeout%';

Variable_name      |Value|

-------------------+-----+

interactive_timeout|28800|

Change the time limit to 30 minutes for idle connection timeout: The value used in both variables is in Seconds i.e. 30 min – 1800 seconds or 1 hour – 3600 seconds.

SET GLOBAL wait_timeout=1800;

SET GLOBAL interactive_timeout=1800;

You can also change to the Default value:

SET GLOBAL wait_timeout=DEFAULT;

SET GLOBAL interactive_timeout=DEFAULT;
