Hi,

Is there any way to catch the error from a Zope Database Adapter and restart it ?

I'm experiencing what I suspect are timeout problems (sometimes a bunch of imapd's drive the load to >10 and make the computer really slow).

The symptom is that at some point I get a traceback from _pgmodule instead of nice page.

The only way to fix it after that is going to manage screens and shutdown/startup the connection

I would like to catch this exception and do the shutdown/startup automatically (and perhaps log that it happened)

Or would the only reasonable place to do such things be inside the DA ?

You should try to catch the exception in the DA.

The latter should not be too hard, just try: to send an empty query before the real one (con.query("")) and in except: open a new one (and log the error if desired)

Why not just catch the exception on the real query.

The overhead should be almost nothing, at least when using domain sockets.

I had a similar problem with the Solid DA, although, rather than getting exceptions, I just got strange results. :/. I ended up modifying the DA to reconnect if more than one hour had elepsed since the previous query. This seemed to have take care of the problem.
