MySQL Error: Sort aborted

Question

I have MySQL 5.1 on Windows 2008 which has 8G Memory. The error occured every two seconds on Event Viewer. The error is

D:\\SW\\MySQL\\MySQL server 5.1\\bin\\mysqld: Sor

Answer 1

Please check that you have enough free disk space that MySQL can write to. 'Sort aborted' commonly occurs when there is no disk space left.
