Re: Database connections

Hi Daniel,


  1.
Dispatcher
  2.
Permissions
  3.
Dialplan
  4.
Htable

But we do not perform any queries during runtime, only when an XML-RPC reload is received, or via kamcmd.

Hi,

Is there a way to control the number of database connections kamailio opens using the db_mysql module? We only use the database connection when the service is started, and random XML-RPC reloads, so we have no need of having 10+ open database connections around the clock.

Would a work-around be to set the ping_interval to a higher number than the mysql wait_timeout? Are there any implications of this? If there is no connection available I expect Kamailio to open one when needed.


what are the modules that you use and need database connections? Normally, if a module does not do queries to database when handling sip traffic, it should not keep the connection open.

Cheers,
Daniel
