(1 message) I'm searching for memory leaks in an application. Devel::LeakTrace::Fast has pointed me at DBI::_new_handle(). I was wondering if anyone can point out that I'm using bad versions, or if I'm mislead by the tool (Devel::LeakTrace::Fast). I searched the mailing list and found: http://www.mail-archive.com/dbi-users@perl.org/msg28092.html Which seems to match what I'm seeing, except for the fact that I'm not seeing the statement handles released after 120 calls. So let me explain. I'm seeing a memory leaks in a daemon that interacts with a MySQL database. I'm using Devel::LeakTrace::Fast to help track down the leaks. During a 15 minutes sample it says that there where 148 "leaked" SVs which were created by DBI::_new_handle() First, has anyone else tried using Devel::LeakTrace::Fast? Are its results reliable? Realizing that a report about leaks happening is an application that I don't provide code for is not a valid report. What is the minimum script I should use to try and provide a mechanism to reproduce? Second, is the 120 handle cache size modifiable by the user? Here are the versions of software involved: DBI 1.604 DBD::mysql 4.006 perl 5.8.8 Devel::LeakTrace::Fast 0.11 Thank you in advance. -- James R.

ESCAPE '\' After more investigation, I determined that any query that contained a literal quote would die like this, and any query that did not was fine. It seems that there is an error in dbdimp.c where is_literal is defined as a bool but then used as a char. This triggers the behavior, at least GCC 4.0.1 on the Mac and possibly other GCC4 platforms, where is_literal will get the value 1, and not the value of the literal type, so that the end of the literal is never seen. The following patches this so that the behavior is correct and things work: *** dbdimp.c.orig Mon Apr 28 12:08:50 2008 --- dbdimp.c Mon Apr 28 12:09:07 2008 *************** *** 1096,1102 **** { dTHX; D_imp_dbh_from_sth; ! bool in_literal = FALSE; char in_comment = '\0'; char *src, *start, *dest; phs_t phs_tpl; --- 1096,1102 ---- { dTHX; D_imp_dbh_from_sth; ! char in_literal = '\0'; char in_comment = '\0'; char *src, *start, *dest; phs_t phs_tpl; -- Matt http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.dbi.users/2008/04/msg32805.html Mon, 28 Apr 2008 13:15:08 +0000 aborted connections wierdness... (3 messages) Hi all, I've configured many a server in my life, but have this odd issue lately: 080428 14:45:47 [Warning] Aborted connection 3185826 to db: 'xxxx' user: 'xxxxx' host: 'dbserverxxx' (Got an error reading communication packets) This is pretty much stock mod_perl setup, even using Apache::DBI. I still have two boxes giving me this problem, whereas I have been able to get rid of this message on my other servers by changing my usage of "connect_cached" to just "connect" (Apache::DBI should give me connection caching). Problem went away on those servers just by doing that, but remains on the other two, despite the switch. What other settings, factors might contribute to this?

I cant easily use ordinary '?', as I refer to the same placeholder several times in the SQL. For example, this is the statement I prepare (a contrived example): INSERT INTO ATABLE (COLA,COLB,COLC,COLD,COLE,COLF) VALUES (:1,:2,:3,:3,:4,:4); This is the error I get when using numerical place-holders. DBD::ODBC::st execute failed: [NCR][ODBC Teradata][Teradata Database] There is a mismatch between the number of parameters specified and the number of parameters required. (SQL-07001)(DBD: st_execute/SQLExecute err=-1) !!NOTE!! The above error is being returned by the database, not DBI. I am sure I am calling with the correct number of ags, which means DBI is stuffing up the call to Teradata. This is the error I would have got if I passed the wrong number of args: DBD::ODBC::st execute failed: called with 3 bind variables when 4 are needed I get a different error when using named placeholders (and yes im sure the statement was prepared OK with a parm called :COLA): Can't bind unknown placeholder ':COLA' Help please, as Im stuck using DO which is very slow! ********************************************************************** IMPORTANT: This e-mail is intended for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is confidential, commercially valuable or subject to legal or parliamentary privilege.

A big complication is that the machine is behind a firewall, and PPM cannot be used to install modules. I've had to download and install about 30 modules by hand, and have resolved all issues except for this one This upgrade is requiring me to reload DBI and DBD-ODBC. The issue is that the DBD-ODBC install fails because it requires DBI 1.21. Googling everything I can find over the past couple of days indicates that this is a popular problem. The problem is that I can't find an Activestate compatible version of DBI 1.21, and can't get the CPAN version to make. I've looked in the Activestate folders of downloadable zips for all Perl releases, and 1.21 does not exist. I've found: 5xx - 1.14 6xx - 1.34, 1.35, 1.37, 1.48 8xx - 1.35 - 1.602 10xx - 1.602 But no 1.21. I attempted to download DBI 1.21 from CPAN and build it using NMAKE fails with the following error: E:\DEV\Docs\perl_mods_5.10\DBI_1.21\ungz\DBI-1.21>nmake Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 1.50 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corp 1988-94.

With the upcoming demise of Oracle support of 9i we will see a good number of already deprecated functions removed from later OCI (12 maybe?) releases. So I was thinking of cleaning up the code so that the next version 1.22 only supports 9.6 and later clients? The second option is to make version 1.22 the last version that support clients less that 9.6 (actually I think some of the early versions of the 8 client will die with 1.21 so it would be more of a bug fix in this case) Speak up now or hold your peace. Basically what I would like to know who uses what clients. http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.dbi.users/2008/04/msg32778.html Thu, 17 Apr 2008 18:43:35 +0000 Follow up to earlier thread about DBD::Perl installation (2 messages) Hi I got the OCI Libraries installed and got the make file to getgenerated without any issues.

(1 message) Someone in the local LUG group put me onto a possible way to accomplish it - not sure if what I took from their message was what they were getting at but it would seem to at least begin to address a possible way to do the inheritance! included response: --------------------------- Now there's an interesting way to look at it. Not sure if this iswhat you mean, but at the time an item was inserted, just addadditional links for each of the parents with another column and ainteger designator as to how many 'steps' below that item is. Sosearching for the immediate parent would be a 1, another link to that parents parentwould be a 2 and so forth. Say a column called descendency orrelationship (or rel for short). Then looking for immediate parent linkswould just require a WHERE rel=1, and inherited relationships wouldjust use a ORDER BY rel ASC. That might also be useful for statistics and management. i.e. what's the deepest tree? hmm ok, MAX rel, how many descendants fall under x? SELECT count(*) FROM categoryLinks WHERE ancestorID = x AND rel = 1 (assuming i change parentID to ancestorID of course) Now once again, my understanding of SQL falls short - I know there aresome means for finding unique values returned, would there be any wayfor restricting to the 'first' to have a non-null? I'm sure you couldprobably do it looking up one field at a time, how about the structurefor pulling multiple fields returning the first with a value for each?

(14 messages) I'm trying to figure out the best way to build an heirarchial categorystructure kinda like you'd find on yahoo or ebay. Basically I amcreating a number of items and I am going to tie each item via a linktable to another link table that defines the categories and subcategories. Sample: categories: ID = int {autofill/unique/primary key} Name = char(32) Desc = char(128) Property1 = char(64) Property2 = char(64) categoryLinks ID = int {autofill/unique/primary key} catID = int {required} (pointing to an ID from categories) parentID = int (pointing to another ID from categories) Desc = char(128) Property1 = char(64) Property2 = char(64) items ID = int {autofill/unique/primary key} Name = char(64) {required} Desc = char(128) Property1 = char(64) Property2 = char(64) itemLinks itemID = int (pointing to an ID from items) categoryLinkID = int (pointing to an ID from categoryLinks) categoryLinkswill have one entry with parentID = null for the 'top' of anyhierarchical tree. The Desc and other property values may also be null(although I'm going to generally fill in all of them on the top/parententry). I still wrestling with how to deal with identical categoryLinkentries in complex redundant sub-trees but am more interested in anycreative ideas for another delimma. I would like to be able totreat these kind of like object instances and utilize inheritancewhenever a property of a sub-item is empty (null). i.e. if I had alinking of categories like Computers with links to Desktop and Laptop,and under Desktop had links to Windows, Apple and Linux: categories: +----+-----------+ | ID | Desc | Property1 | +----+-----------+-----------+ | 01 | Computers | technical | | 02 | Desktop | [NULL] | | 03 | Laptop | portable | | 04 | Windows | [NULL] | | 05 | Apple | [NULL] | | 06 | Linux | superior! | +----+-----------+-----------+ categoryLinks: +----+-------+----------+-----------+ | ID | catID | parentID | Property1 | +----+-------+----------+-----------+ | 01 | 01 | [NULL] | hightech | (parent - overriding Property1 from categories value) | 02 | 02 | 01 | [NULL] | (links Desktop under Computer) | 03 | 03 | 01 | [NULL] | (links Laptop under Computer) | 04 | 04 | 02 | [NULL] | (links Windows under Desktop) | 05 | 05 | 02 | [NULL] | (links Apple under Desktop) | 06 | 06 | 02 | [NULL] | (links Linux under Desktop) +----+-------+----------+-----------+ let'sjust say I left Property1 blank on the link forWindows and also in it's parent Desktop but had it filled in on theDesktop parent Computers (as shown above). If I wanted to find the Property1 for the sub category but found it blank, I'd like to grab thevalue from the next parent(s) above it that did have a value. Is there any way to writethat kind of recursive search right in the SQL itself rather than doingtons of lookups in an 'until' type structure in my scripting languageuntil I find a value that's not null? Ultimately I'd want it tosearch first in the properties for the current item, then the categoryLink then the 'categories' entry for catID from that link, thengo to the parent and continue until either it found a value for agiven property or until parentID was null. I will settle for somethingthat just looks up the categoryLinks tree itself. I know I can do it with aperl or php loop but was just curious if SQL could do anything sofancy. (I'm probably going to be using MySQL but do have access topostgresql also) The other idea I am toying with is just using afile/directory tree but cringe at the number of file reads I will haveto do when building HTML option lists to get all the descriptions! Imay settle on some combination of the two as this ultimately going tobe for a web tool and I will also be having other associated files witheach category or item. (gif icons, etc.) Either way I'm still goingto have to look backwards to handle the desired inheritance. Any ideasare welcome. SW P.S. I'm now playing with another concept of just using keywords for each entry under both categories and items. Basically using a table for the top-level categories, another for individual items and one for keywords. There are then two keyword-link tables, one for category keywords and one for item keywords. I'm also playing with another set of two tables for generic keyword filters that could be assigned to each category. (a filter name pointing to a particular categoryID and a link table of keywords tied to the filterID that I could then use when creating a search for items related to a desired subset of a given category) One of the problems I saw with the complex heirarchy is when thestructure gets too deep, it becomes difficult to select a specificitem when you have to keep clicking through category after category toget to the one you want. (just try it on ebay or yahoo! lol) I added an additional 'type' column on the keywords to categorize howthe keyword relates to the items and even created a special conditionwhere 'type' = 'type' and the keyword= another type value. This then allowsme to include an option add an entire group of keywords of a given'type' with a single link list entry. This idea will probably give me a lot more flexibility and would avoid problems with redundant sub-trees as well. The user would only have to select a category then a given subset filter to get a manageable list of related items. But I would still be curious about the recursive search mentioned above. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

I'm starting to think that this is a compatibilty issue, because I proceeded to install the DBD::Sybase module, and receive pretty much the exact same errors at the same points. Much thanks in advance... /Alex Medina Here is the output of my 'make test' dbdimp.c: In function 'odbc_db_login6': dbdimp.c:582: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 3 of 'SQLDriverConnect'
