NAME

DBIx::Roles::AutoReconnect - restart DBI calls after reconnecting on failure

DESCRIPTION

The role wraps all calls to DBI methods call so that any operation with DB connection handle that fails due to connection break ( server shutdown, tcp reset etc etc), is automatically reconnected.

The role is useful when a little more robustness is desired for a cheap price; the proper DB failure resistance should of course be inherent to the program logic.

SYNOPSIS

     use DBIx::Roles qw(AutoReconnect);

     my $dbh = DBI-> connect(
           "dbi:Pg:dbname=template1",
           "postgres",
           "password",
           {
                PrintError => 0,
                ReconnectTimeout => 5,
                ReconnectFailure => sub { warn "oops!" },
           },
     );

Attributes

ReconnectFailure &SUB

Called when a DBI method fails.

ReconnectTimeout $SECONDS

Seconds to sleep after reconnection attempt fails.

Default: 60

ReconnectMaxTries $INTEGER

Max number of tries before giving up. The connections are tried indefinitely if undef.

Default: 5

NOTES

Transactions are not restarted if connection breaks or AutoCommit is not set.

RaiseError is not called when a connection is restarted, but rather when ReconnectMaxTries tries are exhausted, and depending on RaiseError, the code dies or returns undef from the connect call. All other error-related attributes (PrintError, HandleError) are not affected.
