Hi All, My unix client process got blocked at the reconnect attempt when the Linux box running MySQL server went down. I don't know how to set timeout value on the mysql_connect() call. Anyone know a good way to stop the function from blocking forever without killing the process ? I am using mysql-3.23 client API talking to a 3.23 server.
