MySQL Connector/Python Release Notes
Syntax:
cnx.cmd_reset_connection()
Resets the connection by sending a
COM_RESET_CONNECTION command to the server to
clear the session state.
This method permits the session state to be cleared without
reauthenticating. For MySQL servers older than 5.7.3 (when
COM_RESET_CONNECTION was introduced), the
reset_session()
method can be used instead. That method resets the session state
by reauthenticating, which is more expensive.
This method was added in Connector/Python 1.2.1.
