MySQL: Invalid Server Name Error（mysql服务器名无效）

MySQL is an open source relational database program, which is widely used in web applications. Recently, I encountered a problem: Invalid Server Name Error. This error message occurs when I was running an INSERT INTO statement.

The cause of this error was that the MySQL server name was incorrect, and the name was specified incorrectly when trying to connect to a database. The error message looks like this:

error: [HY000] [MySQL][ODBC 5.3(a) Driver] Invalid server name

To solve this problem, I need to confirm the correct server name. First, I checked the configuration file ‘my.ini’ which contains the name of the server configuration. If the server name is not specified in the configuration file, then I have to use the ‘–server-name’ flag. The code looks like this:

mysql --server-name=server-name

If this still does not work and the error persists, then the server name specified in the configuration file may be incorrect. In this case, I need to check the server name in the configuration file. To do that, I used the following MySQL query:

SELECT @@hostname

This query returns the host name associated with the current connection. In my case, the result was different from what I had specified in the configuration file. Once I updated the configuration with the correct server name, I was able to connect to the database and run the INSERT INTO statement without any issues.

Invalid Server Name Error can be very frustrating and time consuming to troubleshoot if the correct server name is not known. In my case, the cause of this error was an incorrect configuration. However, by confirming the correct server name and updating the configuration, I was able to resolve the issue quickly and efficiently.
