I'm having trouble with reconnecting to the db, and I'm not sure if
it's expected behavior or not.
Essentially, I have a cat/dbic app and mysql database. For reasons
beyond my control, the mysql db is periodically shutdown for brief
periods of time. If no requests are made during the downtime, then
the first request after the db becomes available again reconnects to
the db and everything works great.
If a request comes in while the database is down, dbic tries to
reconnect and fails (of course). But, further requests don't try and
connect to the db anymore after the initial failure. So, once the
database IS available again, dbic isn't reconnecting anymore, just
failing (with "Can't call method "prepare_cached" on unblessed
reference at /Library/Perl/5.8.6/DBIx/Class/Storage/DBI.pm line 1086.")
So... is this a bug, where dbic should be trying to reconnect after
the initial failure? Or, is that expected behavior for some reason?
Any suggestions on what I can do, either to help update DBIC, or to
handle the situation in my own code?
Thanks,
-A
