+	When using prepared statements with a MySQL database, it is preferred to set
+	<code>reconnect</code> to 0 in the connection string as to avoid errors that
+	arise from the MySQL client reconnecting without properly resetting the
+	prepared statements. If set to 1, any broken connections will be attempted
+	fixed, but as mod_dbd is not informed, the prepared statements will be invalidated.
