At that rate there is no reason on the Zope side for the connection being dropped. There could be a problem with the underlying Python driver and thus the ZopeDA so you might want to install the latest version of both: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22307 MySQL 3.2 is still supported.

They use a zpt-python-db sql-db driver-db flow and work pretty well. Unfortunately, if enough people use it, the number of open db connections grows until it hits a limit and the db stops accepting connections. I have seen that there is a connection issue with zope and mysql, but have not been able to find a solution. Is there one? We are using MySQL and Zope (via ZMySQLDB) and do not see this problem. Apparently, Zope handles connections in principle correctly... What version of MySQL are you using? One thing I just noticed is that if I connect in via the unix shell client, quit and login again, the number of connections goes up. Not unusual. In a slow period i will need to see if the number goes down as well. Jamie ___ Zope-DB mailing list Zope-DB@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-db
