It's funny you say it resolves the problem because if you read the bug report from the author opened since 2017 https://github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql/issues/65

It's funny you say it resolves the problem because if you read the bug report from the author opened since 2017 https://github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql/issues/657 https://github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql/issues/657 It's repeatedly pointed out by one maintainer that his server and application are misconfigured and should be fixed. Yet the author doesn't consider it and goes on a project to redo the connection pool (the library can certainly benefit from better error detection but he would be better off fixing the root cause of connections dropping). Ergo the issue is not fixed. If you look at the chart provided, it's still erroring every few minutes, instead of every minute. It's an improvement but a far cry from zero. https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/42793/57318792-6e3b6800-70fb-11e9-87f7-f9d69e8a3c7b.png https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/42793/57318792-6e3...
