[Freeswitch-users] Spidermonkey ODBC

One way to detect firebird would be to put the 'Select first 1  * from RDB$relations' into switch_odbc_handle_connect. If it succeeds then it is Firebird. A better query might be 'select * from rdb$database' as the system table rdb$database only ever has 1 record.

  I''ve only tested it with firebird on windows. As you said, your driver name doesnt match any of the names I used to detect if it's firebird.

  The problem is that most databases supports "SELECT 1" as a query. It will always be successful if the the connection is up. However, firebird did not support "SELECT 1" and therefore i did query the system database instead.

  If the firebird check fails, it will try to invoke "SELECT 1", and on firebird that query will fail. And the failure is interpreted as the connection is down, and therefore it tries to reconnect.

  That's probably why you get that error. If you have any other idea on how I can detect if it's a firebird db, please let me know and i'll fix the odbc code.

    That's a fair point, but db_is_up is only called in 2 places and the attempted re-connect could be done if the exec'd query fails. That way it would not be dependant on the name of the driver.

    In my application, the database was queried at the beginning of the script and the connection closed. It was explicitly re-connected at the end to post data, so the connection timeout was not an issue.

      I did that code a couple of months ago.
      The function was added since connections are closed if they are idle too long, and they were not reconnected again if that happened.

        The problem is in switch_odbc.c function db_is_up. It assumes that the variable is_firebird is true, but the setting of this variable assumes that the Firebird driver name has 'FIREBIRD', 'FB64' or 'FB32' in it.

        I commented out  the code in db_is_up and just returned a true value, as on closer inspection could not see the point of this function.

          I spotted this error a few months ago, and to my shame did not let everyone know.  I have since archived the project so cannot point you to the actual code. However, the problem is  that it assumes the name of the Firebird Driver (FB64?)  to set a boolean, so that it handle the connection test differently.

          When looking at the actual code, I actually felt that the connection test was redundant, as all it did was a select from a system table. This meant it was doing two queries for everyone required. (One to see if it could do a query, and then one to do it). I therefore commented the connection test function out.

          regards

            Hi,

            I'm experimenting with spidermonkey for JavaScript call control, the basics seem fine and I'm now trying to connect to an existing Firebird database, the Firebird odbc lib is installed ok as is unixODBC and I can confirm this and access the db no problem with isql, something strange happens though when I connect in spidermonkey, basically the odbc connection is made successfully, but then as soon as I call either exec or query the odbc connection starts to drop and re-connect continuously, 

            the isql output is below 

            isql -v test
            +---------------------------------------+
            | Connected!                            |

            | help [tablename]                      |
            | quit                                  |
            |                                       |
            +---------------------------------------+

            1 rows fetched
            SQL>

            however the following test code calling the same query

            use("ODBC");
            var db = new ODBC("test","SYSDBA","masterkey");
            db.connect();
            db.query("select first 1 *  from pool_phones");
            db.nextRow();
            row = db.getData();
            console_log("INFO","HELLO " +  row["GSMNO"]  + "\n");
            exit();

            gives the following output and then just loops disconnecting and reconnecting until I shutdown freeswitch

            Any ideas much appreciated

            Thanks
