Re: Fall-back not working?

This turns out to be a major problem for me, so I wonder if I could get some help here.

My "secondary" database is on a geographically remote site. So for connections in the "failed-over" state, there is a significant degradation in performance. The problem is that if the "primary" DB fails even for a short time, the performance problem lasts indefinitely (because the connections keep going to the secondary). Furthermore, I have no means to know that this had happened, so I can't even fix the situation manually by restarting the servers.

I have two questions:

- You mentioned that the fix is not difficult. Can you give me a pointer to what needs to be fixed? I tried several things (like setting needsPing to true in setFailedOverState()), but to no avail.

- Assuming the driver itself is not fixed, is there any way for me to reliably determine that a connection failed over, so I can restart the system (assuming the primary DB is back up)? Can I somehow make the driver write something to a log when a connection is failed-over? Or can I somehow query the driver after the fact and ask whether any connections are in the failed-over state?

Any help would be much appreciated.
