Re: [asterisk-users] mySQL connection testing

2011-03-04 Thread Andrew Thomas
Danny - Thanks, but that wouldn't work either - as I am fetching
multiple rows (not in that example - but I do in a production
environment).

Steve - If mySQL in the dialplan is so bad - why did Digium include it
in the first place?  JFYI - I use mySQL in the dialplan all the time -
and it always works a treat - first time, every time.  I do use AGI for
'other' things (eg. I've completely re-written the AgentCallbackLogin
feature in php) and that also works a treat. Each to their own I guess.

Anyway - back to the question (repeated in case it got lost amongst all
this) Is there a way to check if a specific MYSQL connection id is
connected or not?.

BTW - using a 'disconnect {connid}' twice doesn't actually break
anything - it just causes an error on the console.  So I can live with a
'no' answer.

Thanks

I'm just suggesting that maybe you are 'swimming upstream' trying to use

MySQL within the dialplan.

Much the same as if you were proposing an office system using a 'tin

having a problem with poop buildup on the endpoints -- I might propose 
using Asterisk :)

There is no way to test it.  If you want this, you should track the
information yourself or don't disconnect anywhere but in the h
extension.

BTW, the disconnect is not strictly needed in all versions of the addons
since 1.4.9.  Due to the possibility of a memory leak, the connections
are tracked and deleted when the channel is destroyed.

Digium is not responsible for everything that appears in Asterisk.  This is
a community project, and community volunteers have written large swaths
of Asterisk, including the MYSQL command.

Thanks Tilghman - this is exactly what I wanted to hear.  As for the

at the Digium end (isn't it?).

Anyway, I'll go create a mysql.conf file now :)

While Digium hosts the repository and the project head (Russell) is a
Digium employee, what winds up in the repository is largely up to the
Asterisk community, including many non-Digium developers with commit
access.  While Digium does contribute a great deal to the releases,
suggesting that Digium is responsible for everything that ends up in a
release is reductionist and diminutive of the many contributions made by
the community.

[asterisk-users] mySQL connection testing

2011-03-03 Thread Andrew Thomas
Does anybody know of a way to test whether a mySQL connection invoked
from the dialplan is current or not?

For example:

extensions.conf
===
[context]
exten = _X.,1,MYSQL(Connect connid localhost user pass db)
exten = _X.,n,MYSQL(Query resultid ${connid} SELECT `something` FROM
`table` WHERE `number` = ${EXTEN})
exten = _X.,n,MYSQL(Fetch foundRow ${resultid} something)
exten = _X.,n,MYSQL(Clear ${resultid})
exten = _X.,n,Wait(10) ; just for fun
exten = _X.,n,MYSQL(Disconnect ${connid})
exten = _X.,n,Hangup()

exten = h,1,MYSQL(Disconnect ${connid})


Now if the caller hangs up before the 10 second timeout - then all is
well.  But, if they don't, Asterisk tries to disconnect an already
disconnected connection.  I need a way of detecting that the connection
has already been disconnected - so I don't try and disconnect it again.

Something like: exten = h,1,ExecIf(CHECK IF CONNECTION STILL OPEN - IN
CASE CALLER HUNG UP AFTER TIME-OUT)?MYSQL(Disconnect ${connid}))

Any ideas?

The wait is there as a test.  This gives the 'tester' the option of
hanging up before the disconnect or not.

Either way - a connection can still be left open if the caller hangs up
before the first disconnect.

This is my problem.  See the 'h' line.

I've always considered it bad to leave a connection open and have always

Either way, I test for mysql connection errors by:

MYSQL_STATUS???

Is this documented anywhere (as I can't seem to find anything about this
variable)?

Remember, I need to test whether a specific {connid} is still connected
or not - not the whole mySQL connection.

As for the 'wait' command in my example - it is there purely for testing
purposes - otherwise you'd have to be damn quick to beat the disconnect
(but it's not impossible)!

Not to mention that Asterisk is developmental and a moving target.  If
you read 1000 posts on this forum, you'll come across 10-15 items where it
worked then, but it doesn't now. If it's in an AGI, you have a much better

Re: [asterisk-users] mySQL connection testing

2011-03-03 Thread Andrew Thomas
Gentlemen, can we please not turn this in to an Asterisk and DB commands
bashing thread?

All I want is a simple answer to a simple question - not a debate on
using AGI/AMI or any other methods.

Thanks for your co-operation.

 Not to mention that Asterisk is developmental and a moving target.

And that's why I'm still on 1.4.

And, I have no experience with AGI, nor have I had the time to tackle it

in the last 6 months.

When I finally do move over to 1.8 series, I plan on looking into ODBC.

Sorry for the comment/flames
This might do what you want (untested since I don't use MYSQL)
[context]
exten = _X.,1,MYSQL(Connect connid localhost user pass db)
exten = _X.,n,MYSQL(Query resultid ${connid} SELECT `something` FROM
`table` WHERE `number` = ${EXTEN})
exten = _X.,n,MYSQL(Fetch foundRow ${resultid} something)
exten = _X.,n,MYSQL(Clear ${resultid})
exten = _X.,n,Wait(10) ; just for fun
exten = _X.,n,MYSQL(Fetch foundRow ${resultid} something)
exten = _X.,n,Gotoif(${resultid} = 0?7:8)
exten = _X.,n,MYSQL(Disconnect ${connid})
exten = _X.,n,Hangup()

I'm just suggesting that maybe you are 'swimming upstream' trying to use 
MySQL within the dialplan.


Much the same as if you were proposing an office system using a 'tin cans 
and string' mesh with carrier pigeons for out of band call signaling and 
having a problem with poop buildup on the endpoints -- I might propose 
using Asterisk :)
