Autohotkey close database connection - mysql

I have made a script using the following library;
http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/72629-mysql-library-functions/
to connect to my non-local database. However I'm issuing some max_user_connections problems and I think this is due to the fact that I never close the database connection.
I can't seem to find a way to do that using this library but I am not certain, maybe theres a way to close any connection to the internet or any database or whatever that would work build-in in AHK?
Script:
hi() {
mysql := new mysql
db := mysql.connect("x","x","x","x") ; host,user,password,database
if db =
return
sql =
(
UPDATE something
SET yo = yo+1
WHERE id = 1
)
result := mysql.query(db, sql)
}
Thanks in advance

The DLL of the AHK script has the mysql_close function, but it's not coded into the AHK library.
You can technically manually call the DLL just like the AHK and see if it'll work.
Since I also need to connect to a MySQL DB via AHK, I'll update this answer when a full solution is available.

How to Close a Connection When Using Jupyter SQL Magic?

I'm using SQL Magic to connect to a db2 instance. However, I can't seem to find the syntax anywhere on how to close the connection when I'm done querying the database.
you cannot explicitly close a connection using Jupyter SQL Magic. In fact, that is one of the shortcoming of using Jupyter SQL Magic to connect to DB2. You need to close your session to close the Db2 connection. Hope this helps.
This probably isn't very useful, and to the extent it is it's probably not guaranteed to work in the future. But if you need a really hackish way to close the connection, I was able to do it this way (for a postgres db, I assume it's similar for db2):
In[87]: connections = %sql -l
Out[87]: {'postgresql://ngd#node1:5432/graph': <sql.connection.Connection at 0x7effdbcf6b38>}
In[88]: conn = connections['postgresql://ngd#node1:5432/graph']
In[89]: conn.session.close()
In[90]: %sql SELECT 1
...
StatementError: (sqlalchemy.exc.ResourceClosedError) This Connection is closed
[SQL: SELECT 1]
[parameters: [{'__name__': '__main__', '__doc__': 'Automatically created module for IPython interactive environment', '__package__': None, '__loader__': None, '__s ... (123202 characters truncated) ... stgresql://ngd#node1:5432/graph']", '_i28': "conn = connections['postgresql://ngd#node1:5432/graph']\nconn.session.close()", '_i29': '%sql SELECT 1'}]]
A big problem is--if you want to reconnect, that doesn't seem to work. Even after running %reload_ext sql, and trying to connect again, it still thinks the connection is closed when you try to use it. So unless someone knows how to fix that behavior, this is only useful for disconnecting if you don't want to re-connect again (to the same db with the same params) before restarting the kernel.
You can also restart the kernel.
This is the most simple way I've found to close all connections at the end of the session. You must restart the kernel to be able to re-establish the connection.
connections = %sql -l
[c.session.close() for c in connections.values()]
sorry for being to late but I've just started with working with SQL Magic and got annoyed with the constant errors appearing. It's a bit of a awkward patch but this helped me use it.
def multiline_qry(qry):
try:
%sql {qry}
except Exception as ex:
if str(type(ex).__name__) != 'ResourceClosedError':
template = "An exception of type {0} occurred. Arguments:\n{1!r}"
message = template.format(type(ex).__name__, ex.args)
print (message)
qry = '''DROP TABLE IF EXISTS EMPLOYEE;
CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE(firstname varchar(50),lastname varchar(50));
INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE VALUES('Tom','Mitchell'),('Jack','Ryan');
'''
multiline_qry(qry)
log out the notebook first if you want to close the connection.

Pass parameter from Batch file to MYSQL script

I'm having a really hard time believing this question has never been asked before, it MUST be! I'm working on a batch file that needs to run some sql commands. All tutorials explaining this DO NOT WORK (referring to this link:Pass parameters to sql script that someone will undoubtedly mention)! I've tried other posts on this site verbatim and still nothing is working.
The way I see it, there are two ways I can approach this:
1. Either figure out how to call my basic MYSQL script and specify a parameter or..
2. Find an equivalent "USE ;" command that works in batch
My Batch file so far:
:START
#ECHO off
:Set_User
set usrCode = 0
mysql -u root SET #usrCode = '0'; \. caller.sql
Simply put, I want to pass 'usrCode' to my MYSQL script 'caller.sql' which looks like this:
USE `my_db`;
CALL collect_mismatch(#usrCode);
I know that procedures are a whole other topic to get into, but assume that the procedure is working just fine. I just can't get my parameter from Batch to MYSQL.
Ideally I would like to have the 'USE' & 'CALL' commands in my Batch file, but I can't find anything that let's me select a database in Batch before CALLing my procedure. That's when I tried the above link which boasts a simple command line entry and you're off to the races, but it isn't the case.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This will work;
echo SET #usrCode = '0'; > params.sql
type params.sql caller.sql | mysql -u root dbname

MySQL / SQLite3

I stumbled upon the following:
def save_formset(self, request, form, formset, change):
instances = formset.save(commit=False)
bargain_id = 0
total_price = Decimal(0)
for instance in instances:
if isinstance(instance, BargainProduct):
total_price += instance.quantity * instance.product.price
bargain_id = instance.id
instance.save()
updateTotal = Bargain.objects.get(id=bargain_id)
updateTotal.total_price = total_price - updateTotal.discount_price
updateTotal.save()
This code is working for me on my local MySQL setup, however, on my live test enviroment running on SQLite3* I get the "Bargain matching query does not exist." error..
I am figuring this is due to a different hierarchy of saving the instances on SQLite.. however it seems they run(and should) act the same..?
*I cannot recompile MySQL with python support on my liveserver atm so thats a no go
Looking at the code, if you have no instances coming out of the formset.save(), bargain_id will be 0 when it gets down to the Bargain.objects.get(id=bargain_id) line, since it will skip over the for loop. If it is 0, I'm guessing it will fail with the error you are seeing.
You might want to check to see if the values are getting stored correctly in the database during your formset.save() and it is returning something back to instances.
This line is giving the error:
updateTotal = Bargain.objects.get(id=bargain_id)
which most probably is because of this line:
instances = formset.save(commit=False)
Did you define a save() method for the formset? Because it doesn't seen to have one built-in. You save it by accessing what formset.cleaned_data returns as the django docs say.
edit: I correct myself, it actually has a save() method based on this page.
I've been looking at this same issue. It is saving the data to the database, and the formset is filled. The problem is that the save on instances = formset.save(commit=False) doesn't return a value. When I look at the built-in save method, it should give back the saved data.
Another weird thing about this, is that it seems to work on my friends MySQL backend, but not on his SQLITE3 backend. Next to that it doesn't work on my MySQL backend.
Local loop returns these print outs (on MySQL).. on sqlite3 it fails with a does not excist on the query
('Formset: ', <django.forms.formsets.BargainProductFormFormSet object at 0x101fe3790>)
('Instances: ', [<BargainProduct: BargainProduct object>])

Could not find server 'dbo' in sys.servers

I have a lot of services which query the database. All of them work fine but one service calling a stored procedure gives me following error:
Could not find server 'dbo' in
sys.servers. Verify that the correct
server name was specified. If
necessary, execute the stored
procedure sp_addlinkedserver to add
the server to sys.servers.
I have not idea why all the other stored procedures work fine and this one not...
By the way, I use SubSonic as data access layer.
Please run select name from sys.servers from the server which you mentioned as default server in configuration file.
Here in name column values should match with your server names used in the report query.
e.g serverXXX.databasename.schema.tablename
serverXXX should be there in the result of select name from sys.servers otherwise it gives error as got.
It sounds like there is an extra "." (or two) in the mapping - i.e. it is trying to find server.database.schema.object. Check your mapping for stray dots / dubious entries.
Also make sure that the server name matches what you think it is. If you rename the host that SQL Server is running on, you need to rename the SQL Server, too.

I had another issue with the same exception so I'll post here if someone stumble upon it:
Be careful if you specify the server name in synonyms. I had a different server name on my staging machine and production and it caused the same 'cannot find server'-error.
(Guess you shouldn't use synonyms that much anyway but it's useful in some migration scenarios)
In my case i was facing same issue with following ,
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("uspx_GetTemplate", connection);
but after adding square bracket to stored procedure name it get solved.
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("[uspx_GetTemplate]", connection);

How can I get the database name from a Perl MySQL DBI handle?

I've connected to a MySQL database using Perl DBI. I would like to find out which database I'm connected to.
I don't think I can use:
$dbh->{Name}
because I call USE new_database and $dbh->{Name} only reports the database that I initially connected to.
Is there any trick or do I need to keep track of the database name?
Try just executing the query
select DATABASE();
From what I could find, the DBH has access to the DSN that you initially connected with, but not after you made the change. (There's probably a better way to switch databases.)
$dbh->{Name} returns the db name from your db handle.
If you connected to another db after connected with your dbh, using mysql query "USE db_name", and you did not setup a new perl DBI db handle, of course, $dbh->{Name} will return the first you previously connected to... It's not spontaneic generation.
So to get the connected db name once the db handle is set up - for DBI mysql:
sub get_dbname {
my ($dbh) = #_;
my $connected_db = $dbh->{name};
$connected_db =~ s/^dbname=([^;].*);host.*$/$1/;
return $connected_db;
}
You can ask mysql:
($dbname) = (each %{$dbh->selectrow_hashref("show tables")}) =~ /^Tables_in_(.*)/;
Update: obviously select DATABASE() is a better way to do it :)
When you create a connection object it is for a certain database. In DBI's case anyway. I I don't believe doing the SQL USE database_name will affect your connection instance at all. Maybe there is a select_db (My DBI is rusty) function for the connection object or you'll have to create a new connection to the new database for the connection instance to properly report it.
FWIW - probably not much - DBD::Informix keeps track of the current database, which can change if you do operations such as CREATE DATABASE. The $dbh->{Name} attribute is specified by the DBI spec as the name used when the handle is established. Consequently, there is an Informix-specific attribute $dbh->{ix_DatabaseName} that provides the actual current database name. See: perldoc DBD::Informix.
You could consider requesting the maintainer(s) of DBD::MySQL add a similar attribute.
