Quoting Alex Dubov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
libmysqlclient v4 reconnects automatically when mysqld
closes connection. libmysqlclient v5 won't. I thought
to implement explicit reconnect for this condition,
but then found that it can be easily enabled in mysql
= 5.0.13.
Committed to to Nick's SVN. Thanks for the patch!
PS. Still have to find time to go through the big one. I may commit
some of the stuff (e.g. error reporting) before the big format
changes, as these require more time to inspect.
