SQLRConnection::SQLRConnection	(	var	server,
		var	port,
		var	socket,
		var	user,
		var	password,
		var	retrytime,
		var	tries
	)

Initiates a connection to "server" on "port" or to the unix "socket" on the local machine and auths with "user" and "password". Failed connections will be retried for "tries" times, waiting "retrytime" seconds between each try. If "tries" is 0 then retries will continue forever. If "retrytime" is 0 then retries will be attempted on a default interval.

If the "socket" parameter is neither NULL nor "" then an attempt will be made to connect through it before attempting to connect to "server" on "port". If it is NULL or "" then no attempt will be made to connect through the socket.

Member Function Documentation

var SQLRConnection::autoCommitOff ( )

Instructs the database to wait for the client to tell it when to commit.

var SQLRConnection::autoCommitOn ( )

Instructs the database to perform a commit after every successful query.

var SQLRConnection::begin ( )

Begins a transaction. Returns true if the begin succeeded, false if it failed. If the database automatically begins a new transaction when a commit or rollback is issued then this doesn't do anything unless SQL Relay is faking transaction blocks.

var SQLRConnection::bindFormat ( )

Returns a string representing the format of the bind variables used in the db.

var SQLRConnection::clientVersion ( )

Returns the version of the sqlrelay client software.

var SQLRConnection::commit ( )

Commits a transaction. Returns true if the commit succeeded, false if it failed.

var SQLRConnection::dbHostName ( )

Returns the host name of the database

var SQLRConnection::dbIpAddress ( )

Returns the ip address of the database

var SQLRConnection::dbVersion ( )

Returns the version of the database

function SQLRConnection::debugOff ( )

Turns debugging off.

function SQLRConnection::debugOn ( )

Causes verbose debugging information to be sent to standard output. Another way to do this is to start a query with "-- debug\n". Yet another way is to set the environment variable SQLR_CLIENT_DEBUG to "ON"

void SQLRConnection::disableEncryption ( )

Disables encryption.

void SQLRConnection::enableKerberos	(	var	service,
		var	mech,
		var	flags
	)

Enables Kerberos authentication and encryption.

"service" indicates the Kerberos service name of the SQL Relay server. If left empty or NULL then the service name "sqlrelay" will be used. "sqlrelay" is the default service name of the SQL Relay server. Note that on Windows platforms the service name must be fully qualified, including the host and realm name. For example: "sqlrelay/sqlrserver.firstworks.com@AD.FIRSTWORKS.COM".

"mech" indicates the specific Kerberos mechanism to use. On Linux/Unix platforms, this should be a string representation of the mechnaism's OID, such as: { 1 2 840 113554 1 2 2 } On Windows platforms, this should be a string like: Kerberos If left empty or NULL then the default mechanism will be used. Only set this if you know that you have a good reason to.

"flags" indicates what Kerberos flags to use. Multiple flags may be specified, separated by commas. If left empty or NULL then a defalt set of flags will be used. Only set this if you know that you have a good reason to.

Valid flags include:

GSS_C_MUTUAL_FLAG
GSS_C_REPLAY_FLAG
GSS_C_SEQUENCE_FLAG
GSS_C_CONF_FLAG
GSS_C_INTEG_FLAG

For a full list of flags, consult the GSSAPI documentation, though note that only the flags listed above are supported on Windows.

void SQLRConnection::enableTls	(	var	version,
		var	cert,
		var	password,
		var	ciphers,
		var	validate,
		var	ca,
		var	depth
	)

Enables TLS/SSL encryption, and optionally authentication.

"version" specifies the TLS/SSL protocol version that the client will attempt to use. Valid values include SSL2, SSL3, TLS1, TLS1.1, TLS1.2 or any more recent version of TLS, as supported by and enabled in the underlying TLS/SSL library. If left blank or empty then the highest supported version will be negotiated.

"cert" is the file name of the certificate chain file to send to the SQL Relay server. This is only necessary if the SQL Relay server is configured to authenticate and authorize clients by certificate.

If "cert" contains a password-protected private key, then "password" may be supplied to access it. If the private key is not password-protected, then this argument is ignored, and may be left empty or NULL.

"ciphers" is a list of ciphers to allow. Ciphers may be separated by spaces, commas, or colons. If "ciphers" is empty or NULL then a default set is used. Only set this if you know that you have a good reason to.

For a list of valid ciphers on Linux/Unix platforms, see: man ciphers

For a list of valid ciphers on Windows platforms, see: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa375549%28v=vs.85%29.aspx On Windows platforms, the ciphers (alg_id's) should omit CALG_ and may be given with underscores or dashes. For example: 3DES_112

"validate" indicates whether to validate the SQL Relay's server certificate, and may be set to one of the following: "no" - Don't validate the server's certificate. "ca" - Validate that the server's certificate was signed by a trusted certificate authority. "ca+host" - Perform "ca" validation and also validate that one of the subject altenate names (or the common name if no SANs are present) in the certificate matches the host parameter. (Falls back to "ca" validation when a unix socket is used.) "ca+domain" - Perform "ca" validation and also validate that the domain name of one of the subject alternate names (or the common name if no SANs are present) in the certificate matches the domain name of the host parameter. (Falls back to "ca" validation when a unix socket is used.)

"ca" is the location of a certificate authority file to use, in addition to the system's root certificates, when validating the SQL Relay server's certificate. This is useful if the SQL Relay server's certificate is self-signed.

On Windows, "ca" must be a file name.

On non-Windows systems, "ca" can be either a file or directory name. If it is a directory name, then all certificate authority files found in that directory will be used. If it a file name, then only that file will be used.

Note that the supported "cert" and "ca" file formats may vary between platforms. A variety of file formats are generally supported on Linux/Unix platfoms (.pem, .pfx, etc.) but only the .pfx format is currently supported on Windows.

function SQLRConnection::endSession ( )

Ends the session.

var SQLRConnection::errorMessage ( )

If an operation failed and generated an error, the error message is available here. If there is no error then this method returns NULL.

var SQLRConnection::errorNumber ( )

If an operation failed and generated an error, the error number is available here. If there is no error then this method returns 0.

var SQLRConnection::getClientInfo ( )

Returns the string that was set by setClientInfo().

var SQLRConnection::getConnectionPort ( )

Returns the inet port that the connection is communicating over. This parameter may be passed to another connection for use in the resumeSession() method. Note: The value this method returns is only valid after a call to suspendSession().

var SQLRConnection::getConnectionSocket ( )

Returns the unix socket that the connection is communicating over. This parameter may be passed to another connection for use in the resumeSession() method. Note: The value this method returns is only valid after a call to suspendSession().

var SQLRConnection::getCurrentDatabase ( )

Returns the database/schema that is currently in use.

var SQLRConnection::getDebug ( )

Returns false if debugging is off and true if debugging is on.

var SQLRConnection::getLastInsertId ( )

Returns the value of the autoincrement column for the last insert

var SQLRConnection::identify ( )

Returns the type of database: oracle, postgresql, mysql, etc.

var SQLRConnection::ping ( )

Returns true if the database is up and false if it's down.

var SQLRConnection::resumeSession	(	var	port,
		var	socket
	)

Resumes a session previously left open using suspendSession(). Returns true on success and false on failure.

var SQLRConnection::rollback ( )

Rolls back a transaction. Returns true if the rollback succeeded, false if it failed.

var SQLRConnection::selectDatabase ( var database )

Sets the current database/schema to "database"

var SQLRConnection::serverVersion ( )

Returns the version of the sqlrelay server software.

function SQLRConnection::setAuthenticationTimeout	(	var	timeoutsec,
		var	timeoutusec
	)

Sets the authentication timeout in seconds and milliseconds. Setting either parameter to -1 disables the timeout. You can also set this timeout using the SQLR_CLIENT_AUTHENTICATION_TIMEOUT environment variable.

function SQLRConnection::setClientInfo ( var clientinfo )

Allows you to set a string that will be passed to the server and ultimately included in server-side logging along with queries that were run by this instance of the client.

function SQLRConnection::setConnectTimeout	(	var	timeoutsec,
		var	timeoutusec
	)

Sets the server connect timeout in seconds and milliseconds. Setting either parameter to -1 disables the timeout. You can also set this timeout using the SQLR_CLIENT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT environment variable.

function SQLRConnection::setDebugFile ( var filename )

Allows you to specify a file to write debug to. Setting "filename" to NULL or an empty string causes debug to be written to standard output (the default).

function SQLRConnection::setResponseTimeout	(	var	timeoutsec,
		var	timeoutusec
	)

Sets the response timeout (for queries, commits, rollbacks, pings, etc.) in seconds and milliseconds. Setting either parameter to -1 disables the timeout. You can also set this timeout using the SQLR_CLIENT_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT environment variable.

var SQLRConnection::suspendSession ( )

Disconnects this connection from the current session but leaves the session open so that another connection can connect to it using resumeSession().
