Hi Raymond,

it seams that the new versions of mysql server does not enable by default the reconnection. This is mandatory in order for the query re-triggering to work in case of disconnection error. I will apply a small patch based on Norm's info.

regards,
bogdan

Hi all,
I am using openser 1.0.0 and mysql 5.0.16.  I browsed through the mysql
module, there is no reconnection flag set in mysql_real_connect (did I
missed anything?), only in submit_query function in dbase.c, auto-reconnect
should happen when fail to execute a query because of mysql connection lost.
And that part of the code doesn't seem to work for me. I have tried to
toggle the auto-reconnect to 0 or 1 in db_mod.c but nothing change.
So do I need to insert the reconnection flag for this to work?

Thanks

Ray

Hi Daniel / Raymond

Note that upon connection, mysql_real_connect() sets the reconnect flag
(part of the MYSQL structure) to a value of 1 in versions of the API
older than 5.0.3, or 0 in newer versions. A value of 1 for this flag
indicates that if a statement cannot be performed because of a lost
connection, to try reconnecting to the server before giving up. As of
MySQL 5.0.13, you can use the MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT option to
mysql_options() to control reconnection behavior.

I have tested the following code (note that only the important pieces
are listed below) and my application was able to automatically
reconnect to MySQL.  The example below uses BOTH the
"MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT" and the "conn->reconnect = 1" forms to set the
reconnect flag.  As memory serves, "MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT" didn't work
for me.

Even though the documentation says that you should call mysql_options before mysql_real_connect, when setting MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT you MUST do so after the connection has been successfully established.

This is true as late as 5.0.16.

anyway setting conn->reconnect = 1 seems much simpler and less tricky. with MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT, you have to actually make sure you have that symbol defined, as it was only introduced in 5.0.13 and the code needs to work with all versions of the mysql client lib.
