Why?! That call reconnects to Postgres and returns the `PG::Result` object you are seeing. Your hack is just hiding the fact that you are doing something ~~stupid~~ you shouldn’t do. 😉

I guess what you are really looking for is the `reconnect` [connection option](https://github.com/brianmario/mysql2#connection-options) of the mysql2 client.
