bear-django-db-reconnect 0.1.0

A Django middleware and decorator to automatically handle database connection losses.

Django DB Reconnect

A simple Django app that provides a middleware and a decorator to automatically handle database connection losses (e.g., "MySQL server has gone away").

This utility catches specific OperationalError exceptions, closes the stale database connections, and retries the operation once. This can help improve the stability of long-running Django applications or applications with intermittent network access to the database.

Installation

pip install bear-django-query-profiler

Usage

1. Add the middleware to your MIDDLEWARE list in settings.py.

# settings.py
MIDDLEWARE = [
    'db_reconnect.middleware.DBConnectionMiddleware',
]

2. (Optional) You can override this list by defining DB_RECONNECT_ERROR_CODES in your settings.py.

# settings.py
DB_RECONNECT_ERROR_CODES = [2006, 2013]
