No. Yes, operations could be retried when they fail because the server disconnected (and in general back-sql should do its best to retry operations, much like other proxy backends do). > I could imagine that slapd would try to reconnect in case it > loses sql connection because this could happen for all sort of reaons. There is a request for a similar capability. See ITS#5796. Patches are welcome, as usual :). p.
