That will, of course, work; but it has as side effect that improperly terminated connections (application crash, ...) will stay around for that time, too. It is better to have your connection (-pooling) code be aware of connection timeouts, and have it transparantly reconnect. If I recall correctly, the client library has a ping() function or something similar. -- Bier met grenadyn Is als mosterd by den wyn Sy die't drinkt, is eene kwezel Hy die't drinkt, is ras een ezel -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
