MySQL InterfaceError

Unfortunately this provided the same InterfaceError.  It was one of the
first options we had tried in correcting the situation.  Is there any way to
check on the status of a database connection (like an isOpen() method)?  It
appeared as though the connection (and cursor) would sporadically close upon
passing between modules.

Thanks!
