One solution might be to have your script issue a dummy query like "select 1 from dual" once in a while to avoid being disconnected for idling around. The MySQL driver (DBD::mysql) has the mysql_auto_reconnect attribute that will take care of lost connections. Haven't been able to find anything similar in DBD::Oracle, but then I didn't search thoroughly, just scanning for "connect" and "time" and "idle". You could probably also ask the DBA to raise the max idle time. -- Michael Ludwig
