I'm not sure if this is possible, but I'm looking for a way to reconnect to mysql database when the connection is lost. All the connections are held in a gevent queue but that shouldn't matter I think. I'm sure if I put some time in, I can come up with a way to reconnect to the database. However I was glancing pymysql code and I saw that there is a 'ping' method in Connection class, which I'm not sure exactly how to use.
The method looks like it will reconnect first time but after that it switched the reconnect flag to False again? Can I use this method, or is there a different way to establish connection if it is lost? Even if it is not pymysql how do people tackle, database servers going down and having to re-establish connection to mysql server?
def ping(self, reconnect=True):
''' Check if the server is alive '''
if self.socket is None:
if reconnect:
self._connect()
reconnect = False
else:
raise Error("Already closed")
try:
self._execute_command(COM_PING, "")
return self._read_ok_packet()
except Exception:
if reconnect:
self._connect()
return self.ping(False)
else:
raise
解决方案
Finally got a working solution, might help someone.
