I had issues with 5.0, on windows, related to witango opening connections. It seemed there were issues when more than one witango thread, were opening a connection at the same time. Usually happening, in the morning, going from a time of little traffic, to a lot of traffic. I did a BUNCH of testing, and troubleshooting. NOTHING fixed the problem, except moving to 5.5009.

You can look for a real long message I did, hammering 5.5 with regards to this issue.

I limped along by playing with the datasourcelife. set it to like 24hours and the crashes were MUCH less frequent, cuz the connections never shut down. I could also make the crashes a lot worse, but making dslife 0, cuz it makes witango open and close the connection on each query, no caching.

Unfortunately, I don't think you are going to get a better answer than upgrade to 55 and 10.4, or don't use witango. At least on windows, 5.5 made those problems go away for me, and I tried to work around it with v5 for MONTHS.

I hope this explains the situation on why we are unable to decode backtraces for Witango Server 5.0 on OS X more clearly and why debugging your 5.0 problem is going to be trial and error and may not be able to be solved without upgrading the OS, ODBC, DB and Witango Server.



cutting to the chase:
I accept that there isn't a system available to customer support to trace out a problem in a previous version of the server and that I'm in a trial and error situation. Also, I know that the problem might be a bug in one of the systems that would be replaced by better systems were I to upgrade everything. Upgrading everything to solve a bug is a non-trivial thing to do in terms of time, cost, etc., and it might not cure the problem if it's in the class of ! CST corruption errors introduced by the studio.


That's why I'm looking for ideas to try that I haven't tried yet. For something this odd to be going on with a relatively simple action is perplexing. It was not triggered by the OS or ODBC upgrade, but by the simple addition of a field in a table. For a simple query to nuke a server only when a record is hit the first time and then only randomly, suggests that something might be funky in the database and it's passing back something that gives witango indigestion when mysql is updating its internal index. All that stuff is beyond me.

Looking for ideas that are possible to try short of shutting down the business for clean installs during the busiest season of the year._________________________________________________________________ _______
