David M. Lee	e54dcf4fd5	res_odbc_transaction: add dep on generic_odbc ... When res_odbc_transaction depended on res_odbc, it got the generic_odbc headers and libs implicitly. Now that it no longer depends on res_odbc, its dependency on generic_odbc must be explicit. Change-Id: I9db88f7af7388437f49903d3008ba8d4890d5911	9 years ago
George Joseph	4c1ae07d51	res_odbc: Correct the dependency relationship with res_odbc_transaction ... The MODULEINFO dependencies between these 2 modules was reversed. res_odbc should depend on res_odbc_transaction, not the other way around.

Mark Michelson	65bd4fcc3f	res_odbc: Remove connection management ... Asterisk by default will create a single database connection and share it among all threads that attempt to access the database. In previous versions of Asterisk, this was tolerable, because the most used channel driver, chan_sip, mostly accessed the database from a single thread. With PJSIP, however, many threads may be attempting to perform database operations, and there is the potential for many more database accesses, meaning the concurrency is a horrible bottleneck if only one connection is shared. Asterisk has a connection pooling facility built into it, but the implementation has flaws. For one, there is a strict limit on the number of simultaneous connections that could be made to the database. Anything beyond the maximum would result in a failed operation. Attempting to predict what the maximum should be is nearly impossible even for someone intimately familiar with Asterisk's threading model. In addition, use of transactions in the dialplan can cause some severe bugs if connection pooling is enabled. This commit seeks to fix the concurrency problem by removing all connection management code from Asterisk and leaving that to the underlying unixODBC code instead. Now, Asterisk does not share a single connection, nor does it try to maintain a connection pool. Instead, all Asterisk ever does is request a connection from unixODBC and allow unixODBC to either allocate those connections or retrieve them from a pool. Doing this has a bit of a ripple effect. For one, since connections are not long-lived objects, several of the safeguards that previously existed have been removed. We don't have to worry about trying to use a connection that has gone stale. In every case, when we request a connection, it has just been made and we don't need to perform any sanity checks to be sure it's still active. Another major player affected by this change is transactions. Transactions and their respective connections were so tightly coupled that it was almost pornographic. This code change moves transaction-related code to its own file separate from the core ODBC functionality. This way, the core of ODBC does not even have to know that transactions exist. In making this large change, I had to look at a lot of code and understand it. When making this change, I discovered several places where the behavior is definitely not ideal, but it seemed outside the scope of this change to be fixing it. Instead, any place where I saw some sort of room for improvement has had a XXX comment added explaining what could be altered to improve it.
