Hi dear dev team,

Is there a way to check if ODBC connection is alive and database is
accessible from my module?

For example when I am executing the following in my code and database is
down:
switch_odbc_handle_callback_exec(*globals.backup_odbc*,
sql, my_func_callback, &pdata, NULL) != SWITCH_ODBC_SUCCESS

it tries to reconnect 120 times to the database, before it gives up.

I have 2 options:
1. Check if the database is alive before executing this code (preferred)
2. Reduce max_tries to , say 3 from 120 (not preferred as it requires change
in switch_odbc.c).


Could you please hint?

Thank you,
Vitalie
