NAME

Rose::DBx::AutoReconnect - Rose::DB with auto-reconnect to server

SYNOPSIS

 use Rose::DBx::AutoReconnect;
 my $db = Rose::DBx::AutoReconnect->new;
 $db->logger('hello world');

DESCRIPTION

Rose::DBx::AutoReconnect is a subclass of Rose::DB. Additional features include:

• If using new_or_cached() method, will ping() dbh on every fetch from cache to ensure that the dbh is connected. This extends the basic Rose::DB::Cache behaviour beyond mod_perl/Apache::DBI.
• Convenient logger() method for debugging.
• Always uses DBI connect_cached() method when creating handles.

Rose::DBx::AutoReconnect was written to allow new_or_cached() to work with MySQL's "morning bug" and to allow for restarting your database without restarting your application. See also Rose::DBx::Cache::Anywhere.
