[jira] [Commented] (DBCP-393) DBCP to support database connection failover

["Ricardo Espirito Santo (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Ricardo Espirito Santo commented on DBCP-393:
---------------------------------------------

Hey Campbell, 

What would the maxRetry be used for? If we'd be counting the number of failed connection attempts it would need a cleaver mechanism of parsing failed connection responses otherwise we could be retrying on impossible to recover scenarios such as wrong password invalid username... etc...

DriverManagerConnectionFactory seems like a very straight forward implementation and I wonder why none of this logic was ever included.

Can someone else please comment on this?

> Hello. Would it be possible for the DriverManagerConnectionFactory to accept a list or alternative database connection URL. With a possible maxRetry parameter, the suggestion is this improvement would allow for automatic fail over to a secondary database when a connection exception occurs.
> Let me know if this is a good candidate or if you have made thought of this already as it is standard behaviour in other managed datasources. Many thanks.
