    Hi rhashhab ,

    Please have a try.

     This is a memory issue on the server and not the client. When you query on the DB, the database creates temp files in system temp of the MySQL sever. If the system temp gets filled up, you would get this error. 

     

    clear the system temp folder on the MySQL server. 

    - The default location can be changed from /tmp to a different location by setting --tmpdir attribute in the mysqld command or setting tmpdir system variable
    - you can avoid this error to some extent by restricting the number of records returned, avoiding ORDER clause (this stages all the records and then sorts) 
     
     

    Best Regards
