Isn't this stuf handled by db_xxxxx modules?
That's what I thought, but evidently not, because results vary depending
on which module is doing the calling.
I really fail to understand why a module using a DB backend should handle
the DB connection... ¿?
I haven't looked at the code, but I suspect that the calling module does
not "handle" the DB connection in any direct sense, but rather
indirectly through an interface exposed to it by the DB backend module.
This problem probably cannot be entirely avoided; even if the mechanics
of database interaction are hidden in db_*, some manipulation of
abstractions - which correspond to underlying database handle and query
states, etc. - by modules that use db_* is probably required, just like
with any API. And just like any caller of an API, it is possible for
the calling module to misbehave on exceptional conditions returned by
the lower-level DB module.
I would agree, however, that db_* should probably provide enough
containment and error handling to prevent all but the most egregious
database-related fatal runtime errors.
Yes, I just meant basic DB stuf as:
- Connection/disconnection to DB.
- Re-connect in case of failure.
- Regenerate prepared statements (if they were used) automatically after re-
coonecting to the database (mysql prepared statements are in server side).
IMHO all this stuf should be handled by db_xxxxx module itself. I expect that
when Kamailio starts, modules using database backends use the db_xxxx API to
initiate the connection, generate prepared statements and basically that's
all. During runtime a module function should just do SQL queries, no more.
Am I wrong?
Regards.
