Hello,
We just upgraded from 3.23.58 to 4.0.24. Our database connection, which can
remain open for a very long time, is timing out after being idle overnight,
where it never had in 3.23.58. I learned from the manual that there is a
global variable WAIT_TIMEOUT, which appears to be set at 28800 seconds (8
hrs) by default. I can set this value to some larger amount, say 7 days,
but that may not be long enough depending on how our customers use our
product. In version 5.0.13 I can call mysql_options() with
MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT set to true to enable automatic reconnection to the
server if the connection has been lost. I think this is really what I want
to do instead of setting the WAIT_TIMEOUT variable to a large value. Is
there any way to set this reconnect flag in the 4.0.24 version
programatically? How?
Betty
