I am doing updates with avp_db_query, so there is no avp I can check the value of .
As
I said in a subsequent post, I wrote a simple server that listened on
port 3306, like mysql does, and pointed OpenSER at it. The avp_db_query
commands() basically blocked forever and openser seemed to completely
lose all ability to process new calls. That's really bad.

Hi, by the test I've done:
avp_db_query("SQL_QUERY", "$avp(s:result)");
xlog("L_INFO", "retcode = $rc \n");
Cases:
- If query doesn't return a row/value then $avp(s:result)=null and
$rc=(-1).
- If query returns a row/value the $avp(s_result) stores that value and
$rc=1.
- If there is a syntax error in query then $avp(s:result)=null and
$rc=(-1).
- If MySQL is not running then $avp(s:result)=null and $rc=(-1).
I don't know what occurs if MySQL is running but because overload or
any other
reason it doesn't reply, but AFAIK the "avp_db_query" uses the same
code of
other OpenSer functions to access DB, so I'm sure it has a correct
behaviour
in case of failure..
BTW you can "play" with the $rc code after "avp_db_query".
