 Posted: Wed Dec 12, 2007 7:00 am Post subject: mysqltcl - problem with mysqlsel |
 |
|
hello everyone,
after weeks of googling and trying different combinations with the code, i'm out of ideas and need your help 
i'm using a simple script to invite users to a channel using the MySQL db..
user sends his password and username in exchange for a channel invite
it all works nice, until db pings out (after 8 hours) and then the following msg is shown in the bot's log
| Code: | | Tcl error [inv_1]: mysqlsel/db server: MySQL server has gone away |
here's the code of the invite.tcl script
| Code: | package require mysqltcl
set dbuser "myDB_user"
set dbpassword "myDB_password"
set name "myDB_name"
set db_handle [mysqlconnect -host localhost -socket /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock -user $dbuser -password $dbpassword -db $name]
set userchan "#myChan"
bind msg - !invite inv_1
proc inv_1 { nick uhost handle arg } {
global userchan db_handle
set arg [split $arg " "]
set user1 [lindex $arg 0]
set user1 [string range $user1 0 end]
set pass1 [lindex $arg 1]
set pass1 [string range $pass1 0 end]
if { $user1 == "" || $pass1 == "" } {
putserv "privmsg $nick :Use: !invite <username> <irc-key>"
return 0
}
mysqlping $db_handle
set sql "SELECT irckey FROM users WHERE username='[mysqlescape $user1]'"
set result [mysqlsel $db_handle $sql -list]
if {$result > 0} {
set record [lindex $result 0];
set pass [lindex $record 0];
if {$pass1 == $pass} {
putserv "NOTICE $nick :Welcome :)"
putserv "invite $nick $userchan"
} else {
puthelp "NOTICE $nick :Wrong password!"
}
} else {
puthelp "NOTICE $nick :Your username ($user1) was not found in our records."
}
mysqlendquery $db_handle
} |
is there a proper soultion to this problem?
if not, would it be wise to rehash the bot every 8 hours? (and how to do that?) |

| mem leak in mysql making it crash? You'd have to check your mysql logs and that's a different forum altogether to support mysql. |

Memleaks??
It's just a simple matter of the mysql-server closing the connection to preserve resources.
One option may be to open the sql-connection on each invocation of the command. Another would be to use the mysqlping command to check the status of the connection upon each invocation...

About 1st option - how to do that? (ie. what modifications need to be made to the code above)
About 2nd option - please note that i already tryed that in the code (line above set sql)

MySQL db is working the whole time, no problems with it, it's just that it closes the connection by default after 8 hours |

Option 1:
Move the mysqlconnect command inside the proc, calling it at the beginning of the proc. Would probably be a good idea to close the connection manually at the end of the proc to preserve resources (don't remember if myslqtcl reuses existing connections or not).
Option 2:
Use the mysqlping to test wether the connection is alive or not. If not, reconnect...

would that be something like this? (i looked over mysqltcl documentation, and couldn't find how to close the connection manually)
| Code: | .....
proc inv_1 { nick uhost handle arg } {
global userchan
set db_handle [mysqlconnect -host localhost -socket /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock -user $dbuser -password $dbpassword -db $name]
...... |
| nml375 wrote: | Option 2:

how would that be done?
maybe this ... ?
| Code: | set result2 [mysqlping $db_handle]
if (result2 == false)
mysqlconnect -host localhost.... |
btw. quote from the mysqltcl man page about mysqlping...
| Quote: | mysql::ping handle
Checks whether the connection to the server is working. If it has gone down, an automatic reconnection is attempted.
This function can be used by clients that remain idle for a long while, to check whether the server has closed the connection and reconnect if necessary.
Return True if server is alive |

Yup, would be something like that. In order to close the connection, use "mysqlclose".

mysqlconnect -host localhost.... |

Almost, use braces rather than parenthesis...
Also, you really don't need an interim variable, just put the test directly into the if-conditional:
| Code: | if {![mysqlping $db_handle]} {
set db_handle [mysqlconnect.....]
} |

| Actually, according to the documentation, it should already try to reconnect on it's own, if you open a new connection, won't you have 2 open? |

That would depend on how mysqllib has been set up. all "mysqlping" does is extract the handle from the commandline, and call the function int mysql_ping(MYSQL *mysql) from the mysql C library.
If the "auto-reconnect" feature has been enabled, a new connection is attempted, and should be available once the command returns. If not, it will only return the current status of the connection handle. Wether "auto-reconnect" is enabled or not would be controlled by the int mysql_options(MYSQL *mysql, enum mysql_option option, const void *arg) C library function.
