IRC [10:58] <Dossy> ...
IRC [10:59] <Dossy> New visitor -- hi, bosman.
IRC [11:12] <Dossy> ok, so where's zoran? :P
IRC [11:12] <Dossy> w
IRC [11:35] *** frankie parted the chat.
IRC [11:45] <jcollins> our server.log is just outta control
IRC [11:54] *** jhavard joined the chat.
IRC [12:30] <Dossy> ??
IRC [12:31] <jcollins> ??
IRC [12:34] <jcollins> we once ran our production site in gdb and scripted it to email the backtrace and last 100 lines of the server log to me
IRC [12:34] <jcollins> it worked like a champ for debugging
IRC [12:34] <Dossy> haha
IRC [12:35] <Dossy> on linux? solaris?
IRC [12:35] <jcollins> on linux
IRC [12:35] <Dossy> ah. yeah, wish linux had a "gcore" command :)
IRC [12:35] <jcollins> oh and after it did the email it started up aolserver again
IRC [12:35] <Dossy> hh
IRC [12:35] <Dossy> heh
IRC [12:35] <Dossy> i'd just avoid running it in gdb ... but i guess there's no harm
IRC [12:35] <jcollins> what is gcore?
IRC [12:35] <Dossy> except multithreaded programs don't always behave well under gdb
IRC [12:36] <Dossy> gcore is a solaris and other-unix command to elicit a running process to drop core
IRC [12:36] <jcollins> we ran it like that for several weeks
IRC [12:36] <jcollins> no problems at all
IRC [12:36] <Dossy> hmmm
IRC [12:43] <jcollins> i think the oracle driver doesn't need to be initialized in threaded mode
IRC [12:43] <jcollins> because each connection uses its own "Environment" handle
IRC [12:44] <jcollins> and that is what the docs say needs a mutex
IRC [12:44] <jcollins> but i guess if that is the case it wouldn't make much difference
IRC [12:44] <jcollins> because it'd never lock
IRC [12:45] <Dossy> n/lastlog 50
IRC [12:45] <Dossy> right, true

IRC [14:00] <jcollins> What databases support bind variables?
IRC [14:02] <Dossy> mysql, ingres, oracle ...
IRC [14:06] <jcollins> What is the reason for only being able to request dbhandles once in a given thread?
IRC [14:07] <Dossy> not sure --
IRC [14:07] <Dossy> never made sense to me :)
IRC [14:07] <jcollins> yeah, i don't understand it
IRC [14:08] <jcollins> Have you done anything more with putting bind variables into ns_db?
IRC [14:09] <Dossy> jcollins: not yet -- waiting for feedback. :)
IRC [14:10] <jcollins> oh right :)
IRC [14:10] <jcollins> i've got that email stuck in my drafts box
IRC [14:11] <Dossy> hahah
IRC [14:12] <jcollins> but it basically said, works for me if your intent is a for an interim solution
IRC [14:12] <jcollins> and that i just use ns_ora instead of ns_db anyway
IRC [16:40] <Dossy> print rsa
