MySQL will drop the connection after a certain period of inactivity.

True, also make sure that you are using C version of mysql bindings.

Also often to handle dropped connections people take following apporach:

  1. Have a base class that abstracts database connection pooling and
    stuff and make sure that you handle the exception in this class and
    reconnect to db.
  2. Some libs, use a thread that keeps pinging mysql db with some dummy
    query so that mysql doesn’t drop the connection.
