Lock wait timeout / Repeating in Class::DBI

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/04/28]

Hi,

In the case of lock wait timeout, it might be useful to wrap all INSERT
and UPDATE commands in something which tried the connection a fixed
number of times in the hope the lock timed out; has anyone already done
this?

Or found a not-obvious-to-me reason why this isn't a good idea?

Ta,

Ian
