Re^2: Mojolicious and connection to a database

Well, loading the config file that way is to make sure the app works when packed with pp. It's no big deal once it's tested.

My question was more in relation with remembering the connection done using the hash.

Could the connection be broken by the database server when the page has been load ? If yes, can I check this rather then using the hash value ?

Thanks for helping anyway !

What if your database server crashes/shuts down/restarts after you run the `plugin()` to connect to it? `%connections` flag will not tell you that. In general, one can `ping()` prior to, or `eval()` on each db operation and catch the error if any. So perhaps convert this flag to a sub which pings the db-handle you think you have and return the result. See check if DBI is still connected.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

hmm.. maybe try testing by putting a load on the web server and see how many connections you have to the database? I would think if that part is not working right you would see either increasing number of connections to the database up to some ceiling or your pages not getting data from the database. If I understand your concern correctly.	[reply]
