Detailed information
db_available_pools (public)
db_available_pools dbn
Returns a list of the available pools for the given database name.
We define this here in 20-db-bootstrap-procs.tcl rather than acs-tcl/tcl/00-database-procs.tcl, as we also need to call it from db_bootstrap_set_db_type, below, and from db_bootstrap_checks, before all the rest of the db_* API code in 00-database-procs.tcl is sourced.
- Parameters:
- dbn (required)
- The database name to use. If empty_string, uses the default database.
- Author:

- Partial Call Graph (max 5 caller/called nodes):
- Testcases:
- db__database_interface
db_bootstrap_set_db_type (private)
db_bootstrap_set_db_type errors
- Parameters:
- errors (required)
- Name of variable in caller's space that should receive error messages. Determine which database engine the user's configured, and do db-independent errors checking. The "errors" param hack should change eventually, I don't have time at the moment to change how the bootstrapper communicates database problems to the installer.

db_pool_to_dbn_init (private)
db_pool_to_dbn_init
Simply initializes the
db_pool_to_dbn
nsv, which is used by "db_driverkey -handle
".

In their # version, they'd allocate a handle from the server default pool, check # for a recent Oracle driver and assume everything was A-OK if the check # succeeded. # # There are some problems with this approach: # # 1. The "AvailablePool" parameter specifies the pools to be used by the ACS. # The default pool needn't be listed as an available pool, therefore, in a # mixed db environment the check strategy described above might not actually # be checking any pool designated for ACS use. # # In fact, if it weren't for the bootstrap check code there would be no # need at all to configure a default database pool! # # The standard ACS check was fine as far as it went in the normal case # where no AvailablePool parameters exist, as in that case the ACS # slurps up all pools. I expect mixed db environments to be more common # within the OpenACS community, though, so we should do a better job of # checking. This will especially be true of users migrating from an # [Open]ACS 3.x site or ACS 4.x classic site. # # 2. There was no checking to make sure that *all* pools are correctly # configured. Even in an Oracle-only environment one could easy mistype a # username or the like for one of the pools set aside for ACS use, and # this would not be cleanly caught and reported. # # 3. There was no checking to make sure that *all* pools are of the same RDBMS # type. This is important in a mixed-db environment. # # The strategy I've adopted is to initialize the list of available pools in the # bootstrap code, then check that each pool can be allocated, that each is of # a recognized database type (oracle and postgres as of 3/2001), and that each # pool is of the same database type. We could also make certain that we're # connecting to the same database and user in each pool, but at the moment # that's seems anal even by DRB's standards. # The same information is as well in 0-acs-init.tcl; it is kept # here for a while to guarantee a smooth migration, since the # db-interface is essential and we have to deal with situations, # where still an old 0-acs-init.tcl is active.
