Re: MySQLdb reconnect
Does MySQLdb automatically reconnect if the connection to the database is broken? It seems so. I'm asking this since I have a longrunning Python precess that is connected to Mysql-4.1.11, and I execute set names utf8 when I connect to it. But after running a day the results from the python program were displayed as if the set names utf8 was not executed i.e. I got question marks where utf-8 cyrillics should've appeared. After restarting the Python program everything was ok, just as when I first started it. This is the sollution I've come to: try: # This will fail on MySQL 4.1 db = MySQLdb.connect(godot.dbhost, godot.dbuser, godot.dbpass, godot.dbname, use_unicode=1, init_command=set names utf8) except MySQLdb.OperationalError: db = MySQLdb.connect(godot.dbhost, godot.dbuser, godot.dbpass, godot.dbname, use_unicode=1) db.charset = 'utf8' -- damjan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

The long running Python process is actually a scgi quixote web application. -- damjan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: MySQLdb reconnect
I don't beleive that it does. You can however call ping() on the connection which should attempt an automatic reconnection. See the docs for mysql_ping: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysql-ping.html I've never tested that, but I have a need for it also so let me know if it works or not. -Dan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
