this module has been giving me all sorts of problems....i have had to manually delete its entry in the system table in the DB continuously.....it updates alright, but if i then go to the modules page, it gives me a "database has gone away" error.

i can only get back to the modules page by deleting the entry in the system table

It sounds like something is causing your database server to crash. Sorry, I'm not sure what that could be - UC Auction doesn't really do anything interesting or unusual with regards to how it stores and retrieves data from the DB.

The best way to uninstall UC Auction is to disable the module, then click the "Uninstall" tab in the module list and uninstall it. If you can't do that, then remove the uc_auction directory from your modules directory, remove the entry from the {system} table (it sounds like you figured this part out), and remove all variables with a name that starts with "uc_auction_" from the {variable} table. Then empty your site's cache.

If you've set up the PHP interpreter to keep a log, more details on what's going amiss may be in the log file.

I had a similar issue, but my tech guy told me that it was the server, not module. I upgraded my RAM and it seems to have fixed the issue.

Given that, and that I personally highly doubt UC Auction caused this problem, I'm going to go ahead and close this issue.
