I am using MySQLdb (http://mysql-python.sourceforge.net/). It seems that connection.open and connection.sqlstate() do not work for me. Below is the code:
def open(self):
#TODO: check the connection's status
# self.__conn.open OR self.__conn.sqlstate()
try:
print "sqlstate:"+str( self.__conn.sqlstate() )
print "open?"+str( self.__conn.open )
return "00000" == self.__conn.sqlstate()
except Exception as e:
print "Exception while checking MYSQL Connection:"+str(e)
return False
But when I ran "sudo service mysql stop; sleep 60; sudo service mysql start;" to do the testing. The output is as following. It seems that the following piece of output repeated for ever (I killed the process finally). When the server is down, connection.open is 1 and connection.sqlstate() is 00000. But when server is up, connection.executemany() still throw exceptions. Any ideas? Thanks.

UPDATE
I tested again. The output is as following. each sleep is 10 seconds. The output is OK except the connection.open is 1 even when server is down. But connection.sqlstate() is right (HY000).

解决方案
I have been searching for this solution for some time and I couldn't find an elegant solution.
It seems there isn't a direct way of doing that. You will only find out your connection is closed if you try to execute a query.
I end up doing something similar to this answer:
How to check the connection alive in python?
