Racket's db library doesn't support that parameter. (It's not a parameter of the database server, it's a parameter of [one (?) client library](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-j/8.0/en/connector-j-connp-props-high-availability-and-clustering.html#cj-conn-prop_autoReconnect), and its use seems to be discouraged.)

You might find [virtual connections](https://docs.racket-lang.org/db/connect.html#%28part._.Virtual_.Connections%29) useful instead.
