Hi Henning,
I found some documentation regarding perl and DBI - DBD::ODBC in multi
threaded environments:
-
http://www.annocpan.org/~TIMB/DBI-1.59/DBI.pm - Threads and Thread
Safety section
-
http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=631513
-
http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=288022
These docs warn about the use of DBI (and other perl modules) with
Perl in multi threaded environments using iThread, which as I understood
is the Perl way of doing threads.
So first of all a question: does the Perl module uses iThreads?
I looked a little bit at the perl module code, and I saw that in the
perl.d (and perlfunc.d) file it includes the
/usr/lib/perl/5.8/CORE/thread.h header, which seems to define some perl
functions to use perl threads (iThread).
If the perl module really uses iThreads, then what I have to do is
clear, right? I have to take another path to communicate with my DB, as
the perl module isn't reliable when it uses DBI in multi threaded
environments.
Another path would be to make openser work in only one thread, but
that will affect the performance of my server.
Another question is: If the perl module really uses iThreads, then is
there another perl extension (like DBI) in which the same problem
occurs?
Thanks,
Murilo

Apparently the problem is somewhere in Perl?

Hello Murilo,
nice to hear that. :-)
The other and main reason is that for some unknown
reason the openSer
server crashes when using perl scripts that communicate with DB in
high
load contexts. For some reason the perl script
receives a sig_segv
(segmentation fault) and this signal is passed to all others threads
and
then the openSer server dies.
This error is that kind of error that is specially difficult to find,
because there are too many different systems involded. The path from
openSer to the DB would be:
openSer -> perl module -> perl -> perl DBI (DBD::ODBC) -> unixODBC ->
FreeTDS -> MS SQLServer
Yes, there are quite a bit modules involved.
Take a look into the core dump (set core_dump = yes) with gdb, this
should
give you further informations about the cause of the segmention fault.
To get
a better backtrace install the debug package (debian) or compile with
debugging enabled. If the error is located in openser, please post the
backtrace also on the list.
Cheers,
Henning
