I have written an application that establishes a connection to a remote MySQL database, and accepts queries from clients. If the server does not receive a query in eight hours (as set by wait_timeout), then the connection to MySQL disappears and all my queries fail. How can I keep the connection alive? ... (Obviously sending a connect; won't work because the server is gone when I'll need it.. Should I just send a connect; every so often to make sure the server status alive?) Thanks for the advice.. ------------------------------------------------------> Elliot L.
