Dear all, I experienced some problems with using MySQL API: My problem is that if I don't use database a long time it is disconnected and when I try to connect again at first I use method mysql_ping(), which reopens connection and that's the point. Please see next code of MySQL API:
static my_bool mysql_reconnect(MYSQL *mysql) { MYSQL tmp_mysql; //!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! local variable DBUG_ENTER("mysql_reconnect"); if (!mysql->reconnect || (mysql->server_status & SERVER_STATUS_IN_TRANS) || !mysql->host_info) { /* Allov reconnect next time */ mysql->server_status&= ~SERVER_STATUS_IN_TRANS; DBUG_RETURN(1); } mysql_init(&tmp_mysql); tmp_mysql.options=mysql->options; bzero((char*) &mysql->options,sizeof(mysql->options)); if (!mysql_real_connect(&tmp_mysql,mysql->host,mysql->user,mysql->passwd, mysql->db, mysql->port, mysql->unix_socket, mysql->client_flag)) DBUG_RETURN(1); tmp_mysql.free_me=mysql->free_me; mysql->free_me=0; mysql_close(mysql); *mysql=tmp_mysql; //!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the in/out param is pointed to local variable. What's a wilderness?!? net_clear(&mysql->net); mysql->affected_rows= ~(my_ulonglong) 0; DBUG_RETURN(0); } This code was downloaded from www.mysql.com (today - 4th Feb 2002). Is it really a bug or I just overlooked something? Thanks in advance!
