+### How to handle the connection timeout error "Error Code: 2013. Lost connection to MySQL server during query"?
+
+This error indicates that the query execution time exceeds the timeout limit. To resolve this issue, you can adjust the timeout settings by the following steps:
+
+1. Launch MySQL Workbench and navigate to the **Workbench Preferences** page.
+2. In the **SQL Editor** > **MySQL Session** section, configure the **DBMS connection read timeout interval (in seconds)** option. This sets the maximum amount of time (in seconds) that a query can take before MySQL Workbench disconnects from the server.
