Happy to contribute back if I can, where are the current contribution standards and style
guides located?

I think the !strncmp was throwing me, to think "if not equal to this or that, then
reconnect" rather than !strncmp being short hand for strncmp(...)==0.
With that cleared up in my mind I'm still at a loss as to why only have 2 out of 6
status's deemed worthy of a reconnect attempt.
If you think more error codes should be handled in this case, make a pull request on
github to be reviewed and it will be accepted if all ok. The unixodbc module was developed
quite a while ago (like 2005), the initial developer has been inactive for long time, so
maybe some error codes were overlooked or not available in the version at that moment. But
as usual, we are happy to accept contributions to enhance any part of kamailio.
Cheers,
Daniel

Subject: [sr-dev] DB Reconnect behaviour in db_unixodbc module
Hi
Can someone explain the reasoning behind not reconnecting when an ODBC error code of
'08003' or '08S01' is received back in modules/db_unixodbc/dbase.c?
Such as on lines 120 and 121?
/* Connection broken */
if( !strncmp((char*)sqlstate,"08003",5) ||
!strncmp((char*)sqlstate,"08S01",5) ) {
ret = reconnect(_h);
if( !SQL_SUCCEEDED(ret) ) return ret;
} else {
return ret;
}
Those error codes equate to Communication link failure and Connection not open both of
which are easily handled by a reconnect?
As that logic is used in a few places in dbase.c I figure there must be a reason to
exclude those errors from a reconnect, but permit other non-connection related errors to
trigger a reconnect? If the intent was to only allow connection based error codes to
attempt a reconnect then wouldn't it make more sense to explicitly define the half
dozen or so ODBC connection specific error codes (the 08xxx range denotes connection
related errors) and only permit the ones which could be repaired by a reconnect?
08001 Client unable to establish connection - Can be caused by transient network issue, so
a reconnect attempt is valid
08002 Connection name in use - Reconnect probably wouldnt help here
08003 Connection not open - Reconnect would reopen connection
08004 Server rejected the connection - Can be caused by transient network issue such as a
reboot, so a reconnect attempt is valid
08007 Connection failure during transaction - Can be caused by transient network issue,
so a reconnect attempt is valid
08S01 Communication link failure - Can be caused by transient network issue, so a
reconnect attempt is valid
ODBC Error code definitions:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms714687%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&a…
Of those 6 possible connection related errors only 08002 wouldn't be helped by a
reconnect although a new connection could replace the one its attempting to use...
