Detailed Description

Aggregates database and DBMS utility functions.

This class allows retrieving or comparing the DBMS server version, and backing up the database.

The backup functionality currently requires mysqldump to be installed on the system. This may change in the future to allow backups even when there is no DB client installation on the system.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetDBMSVersion()

QString DBUtil::GetDBMSVersion ( void )

Returns the QString version name of the DBMS or QString() in the event of an error.

Definition at line 38 of file dbutil.cpp.

Referenced by SchemaUpgradeWizard::PromptForUpgrade().

◆ CompareDBMSVersion()

int DBUtil::CompareDBMSVersion	(	int	major,
		int	minor = `0`,
		int	point = `0`
	)

Compares the version of the active DBMS with the provided version.

Returns negative, 0, or positive if the active DBMS version is less than, equal to, or greater than the provided version or returns DBUtil::kUnknownVersionNumber if the version cannot be determined.

Parameters

major	The major version number (i.e. 5 in "5.0.22")
minor	The minor version number (i.e. 0 in "5.0.22")
point	The point version number (i.e. 22 in "5.0.22")

Returns: negative, 0, or positive or DBUtil::kUnknownVersionNumber for error

◆ BackupDB()

MythDBBackupStatus DBUtil::BackupDB	(	QString &	filename,
		bool	disableRotation = `false`
	)

static

Requests a backup of the database.

If the DatabaseBackupScript exists in the ShareDir, it will be executed. All required database information will be made available as name=value pairs in a temporary file whose filename will be passed to the backup script. The script may parse this file to obtain the required information to run a backup program, such as mysqldump or mysqlhotcopy.

If the DatabaseBackupScript does not exist, a backup will be performed using mysqldump directly. The database password will be passed in a temporary file so it does not have to be specified on the command line.

Care should be taken in calling this function. It has the potential to corrupt in-progress recordings or interfere with playback.

The disableRotation argument should be used only for automatic backups when users could lose important backup files due to a failure loop–for example, a DB upgrade failure and a distro start script that keeps restarting mythbackend even when it exits with an error status.

Parameters

filename	Used to return the name of the resulting backup file
disableRotation	Disable backup rotation

Returns: MythDBBackupStatus indicating the result

Definition at line 190 of file dbutil.cpp.

◆ CheckTables()

bool DBUtil::CheckTables	(	bool	repair = `false`,
		const QString &	options = `"QUICK"`
	)

static

Checks database tables.

This function will check database tables.

Parameters

repair	Repair any tables whose status is not OK
options	Options to be passed to CHECK TABLE; defaults to QUICK

Returns: false if any tables have status other than OK; if repair is true, returns true if those tables were repaired successfully

See also: DBUtil::RepairTables(const QStringList)

Definition at line 279 of file dbutil.cpp.

Referenced by Myth::CheckDatabase(), and V2Myth::CheckDatabase().

◆ RepairTables()

bool DBUtil::RepairTables ( const QStringList & tables )

static

Repairs database tables.

This function will repair MyISAM database tables.

Care should be taken in calling this function. It should only be called when no clients are accessing the database, and in the event the MySQL server crashes, it is critical that a REPAIR TABLE is run on the table that was being processed at the time of the server crash before any other operations are performed on that table, or the table may be destroyed. It is up to the caller of this function to guarantee the safety of performing database repairs.

Parameters

tables List of tables to repair

Returns: false if errors were encountered repairing tables

◆ IsNewDatabase()

bool DBUtil::IsNewDatabase ( void )

static

Returns true for a new (empty) database.

Definition at line 78 of file dbutil.cpp.

Referenced by BackupDB(), SchemaUpgradeWizard::Compare(), and doUpgradeTVDatabaseSchema().

◆ IsBackupInProgress()

bool DBUtil::IsBackupInProgress ( void )

static

Test to see if a DB backup is in progress.

Definition at line 92 of file dbutil.cpp.

◆ CountClients()

int DBUtil::CountClients ( void )

static

Estimate the number of MythTV programs using the database.

Referenced by SchemaUpgradeWizard::PromptForUpgrade().

◆ TryLockSchema()

bool DBUtil::TryLockSchema	(	MSqlQuery &	query,
		uint	timeout_secs
	)

static

Try to get a lock on the table schemalock.

Prevents multiple upgrades by different programs of the same schema.

◆ UnlockSchema()

◆ CheckTimeZoneSupport()

bool DBUtil::CheckTimeZoneSupport ( void )

static

Check if MySQL has working timz zone support.

Referenced by V2Myth::GetBackendInfo(), main(), and run_backend().

◆ CreateTemporaryDBConf()

bool DBUtil::CreateTemporaryDBConf	(	const QString &	privateinfo,
		QString &	filename
	)

staticprotected

Creates temporary file containing sensitive DB info.

So we don't have to specify the password on the command line, use –defaults-extra-file to specify a temporary file with a [client] and [mysqldump] section that provides the password. This will fail if the user's ~/.my.cnf (which is read after the –defaults-extra-file) specifies a different password that's incorrect for dbUserName

◆ QueryDBMSVersion()

bool DBUtil::QueryDBMSVersion ( void )

private

Reads and returns the QString version name from the DBMS or returns QString() in the event of an error.

Definition at line 753 of file dbutil.cpp.

Referenced by GetDBMSVersion(), and ParseDBMSVersion().

◆ ParseDBMSVersion()

bool DBUtil::ParseDBMSVersion ( void )

◆ GetTables()

QStringList DBUtil::GetTables ( const QStringList & engines = QStringList() )

staticprivate

Retrieves a list of tables from the database.

Returns: QStringList containing table names

Definition at line 428 of file dbutil.cpp.

Referenced by CheckTables(), and IsNewDatabase().

◆ CheckRepairStatus()

QStringList DBUtil::CheckRepairStatus ( MSqlQuery & query )

staticprivate

Parse the results of a CHECK TABLE or REPAIR TABLE run.

This function reads the records returned by a CHECK TABLE or REPAIR TABLE run and determines the status of the table(s). The query should have columns Table, Msg_type, and Msg_text.

The function properly handles multiple records for a single table. If the last record for a given table shows a status (Msg_type) of OK (Msg_text), the table is considered OK, even if an error or warning appeared before (this could be the case, for example, when an empty table is crashed).

Parameters

query An already-executed CHECK TABLE or REPAIR TABLE query whose results should be parsed.

Returns: A list of names of not-OK (errored or crashed) tables

◆ CreateBackupFilename()

QString DBUtil::CreateBackupFilename	(	const QString &	prefix = `"mythconverg"`,
		const QString &	extension = `".sql"`
	)

staticprivate

Creates a filename to use for the filename.

The filename is a concatenation of the given prefix, a hyphen, the current date/time, and the extension.

Parameters

prefix	The prefix (i.e. a database name) which should appear before the date/time
extension	The extension to use for the file, including a dot, if desired

Returns: QString name

Definition at line 471 of file dbutil.cpp.

Referenced by DoBackup().

◆ GetBackupDirectory()

QString DBUtil::GetBackupDirectory ( )

staticprivate

Determines the appropriate path for the database backup.

The function requests the special "DB Backups" storage group. In the event the group is not defined, the StorageGroup will fall back to using the "Default" group. For users upgrading from version 0.20 or before (which do not support Storage Groups), the StorageGroup will fall back to using the old RecordFilePrefix.

◆ DoBackup() [1/2]

bool DBUtil::DoBackup	(	const QString &	backupScript,
		QString &	filename,

This function executes the specified backup script to create a database backup. This is the preferred approach for creating the backup.
