  • Connections come from the application, so that's where the code for reconnecting would have to reside.

  • Like grant said the application has to initiate a new connection , however database mirroring allows your to failover automatically to another server in case the db is down , same thing with clustering too.

  • Am not sure if this is what your looking for , but most case the connection would have something like

    dbconn.Open()

    and

    dbconn.close()

    if an error is thrown due the the db being offline then the next time the code is exceuted it runs dbconn.open anyway. so the connection is initiated newly.

    A bad practice is to open a single db connection and leave it open for multiple DB calls.

    Also If you cache your connections sometimes an IIS reset is required , but this is dependent on the application.
