Mysql Commands out of sync; you can’t run this command now

MySQL

I have a script which is heavily doing select and insert nearly every seconds without fail and the total queries varies from a second to another. Below is the results of running the queries and finally is the error below Commands out of sync; you can't run this command now or sometimes it gives me connection lost.

Error in second query of insert Commands out of sync; you can't run this command now

If iBTID is an auto_increment column in the export1 table, you may want to change the INSERT INTO command to exclude that column as follows:

INSERT INTO export1 (timeStampID ,ipSource ,macSource,portSource,totalBits, packetCount) VALUES ('2012-07-16 23:51:45','10.207.160.116','00:14:5E:95:B9:18','53',995,7)

Every time you INSERT and hand mysqld a row where you set an auto_increment column to NULL, mysqld tries to reconcile the INSERT's Primary Key by finding the next auto_increment value and handling it internally. That's could be a little taxing on mysqld because handing a PRIMARY KEY (which is all defined as NOT NULL) a NULL value forces this reconciliation exercise. That is really unnatural in terms of ANSI SQL.

MySQL Error #2014 – Commands Out of Sync, Troubleshooting Guide

I don't think the problem is with your query, but rather with your data. Check out the error message

It ssays : #2014 - Commands out of sync; you can't run this command now and 1690 BIGINT UNSIGNED value is out of range in '(bt.end_val-bt.start_val)'

I think for some reason, now (bad data entry?), your query is trying to insert a negative value into an UNSIGNED INT which is not allowed.

[EDIT]

I found it strange that you couldn't subract one integer from another so I tested with a sample data set.

mysql> CREATE TABLE `test1` (
    ->   `start_val` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
    ->   `end_val` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL
    -> ) ENGINE=InnoDB;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.50 sec)

mysql> insert into test1 values(3, 4);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.05 sec)

mysql> insert into test1 values(4, 3);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.05 sec)

So, two simple records in a simple table.

Then I ran this very simple query:

mysql> select end_val - start_val from test1;

and INCREDIBLY I got the result:

ERROR 1690 (22003): BIGINT UNSIGNED value is out of range in '(`test`.`test1`.`end_val` - `test`.`test1`.`start_val`)

I investigated and found that there is a setting

NO_UNSIGNED_SUBTRACTION

By default, subtraction between integer operands produces an UNSIGNED result if any operand isUNSIGNED.

This has to be switched off if you with to subtract UNSIGNED INT values. I consider this to be a bug in MySQL - all the more egregious since there are no CHECK constraints in MySQL - but one could have plenty of reasons to wish to subtract two positve integers and obtain a negative result (debts, whatnot), but you can't do that in MySQL. Absolutely incredible! Unsigned INTs should not be used for anything but PRIMARY KEYs.

I think this Stack Overflow question is related to your query:

It's because results are not completely fetched before another call. PHP docs has a solution read this too:
