zeoslib: check if mysql connection is alive

[giulianoz]

Hello,
 Is it possible to check if a previously connected TZConnection (mysql protocol if that matters) is still active ? I've tried to check the connected propertiy but it doesn't change when I stop the mysql server. Also the AfterDisconnect event isn't fired when the server goes down.

OS and server are on fedora 12 64bit pc, fpc/lazarus/zeoslib compiled from svn/source today

thanks

giuliano

Connected & AfterDisconnect doesn't work in such way.
Zeos don't know if server went down. You have to ping it, so if ping is false, then execute connection.Disconnect.

Thanks for the info, I'll do some ping checks
