Re: [Bacula-devel] Followup to: 0002340: Bacula doesn't set db_driver by default when you compile

[Kern Sibbald]

Yes, sorry I was confused between libdbi and the dbdriver. We can remove the documentation, but I want to leave the directive, which is not currently implemented, but I have planned it.

The dbdriver config parameter is still present in the code and I suppose it is not used. I can remove it, as it confuses users, or do something with it, if you wish.   best regards Best regards, Kern On 04/26/2018 01:40 PM, Radosław Korzeniewski wrote: Hello Developers, I found a following issue reported at bugs.bacula.org: "0002340: Bacula doesn't set db_driver by default when you compile" and I have some questions about it. What I can find in Bacula documentation about a dbdriver parameter is: Catalog {   Name = MyCatalog   dbdriver = dbi:mysql; dbaddress = 127.0.0.1; dbport = 3306   dbname = regress; user = regress; password = "" } The parameter dbdriver indicates that we will use the driver dbi with a mysql database.  Currently the drivers supported by Bacula are:  postgresql, and mysql; these are the names that may be added to string ”dbi:”. So, as I understand the dbdriver is a parameter used by a DBI to select what database backend it should use. I think that current Bacula (9.x) does not support a libdbi anymore, so I think that a documentation and a Bacula code itself should be updated in this case, or I miss a different purpose of this parameter? I checked it and the current Bacula code just ignore the dbdriver parameter completely and I can set it to any value I like. Sure the value set in config file will be displayed in show catalog command mentioned in the above ticket. best regards -- Radosław Korzeniewski rados...@korzeniewski.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Bacula-devel mailing list Bacula-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-devel -- Radosław Korzeniewski rados...@korzeniewski.net
