The following example shows how to create a database driver. This `postgres' module is a database services driver which allows the AOLserver to use the Postgres95 database.
This example can be found in the examples/c/postgres
directory.
#include "ns.h" #include "nsdb.h" #include "nstcl.h" #include "libpq-fe.h" #include <string.h> #include <assert.h> /*- What is this? ------------ This module implements a simple AOLserver database services driver. A database driver is a module which interfaces between the AOLserver database-independent nsdb module and the API of a particular DBMS. A database driver's job is to open connections, send SQL statements, and translate the results into the form used by nsdb. In this case, the driver is for the Postgres95 DBMS from UC Berekely. Postgres95 can be downloaded and installed on most Unix systems. To use this driver, you must have Postgres95 installed on your system. For more information on Postgres95 or to download the code, open: http://s2k-ftp.cs.berkeley.edu:8000/postgres95 How does it work? ---------------- Driver modules look much like ordinary AOLserver modules but are loaded differently. Instead of being listed with other modules in the [ns\server\<server-name>\modules] configuration section, a database driver is listed in the [ns\module\nsdb\drivers] section and nsdb does the loading. The database driver initialization function normally does little more than call the nsdb Ns_DbRegisterDriver() function with an array of pointers to functions. The functions are then later used by nsdb to open database connections and send and process queries. In addition to open, select, and getrow functions, the driver also provides system catalog functions and a function for initializing a virtual server. The virtual server initialization function is called each time nsdb is loaded into a virtual server. In this case, the server initialization function, Ns_PgServerInit, adds the "ns_pg" Tcl command to the server's Tcl interpreters which can be used to fetch information about an active Postgres95 connection in a Tcl script. */ #define DRIVER_NAME "Postgres95" static char *Ns_PgName(Ns_DbHandle *handle); static int Ns_PgOpenDb(Ns_DbHandle *dbhandle); static int Ns_PgCloseDb(Ns_DbHandle *dbhandle); static int Ns_PgCmd(Ns_DbHandle *handle, char *sql); static int Ns_PgReconnect(Ns_DbHandle *handle); static Ns_Set *Ns_PgSelect(Ns_DbHandle *handle, char *sql); static int Ns_PgGetRow(Ns_DbHandle *handle, Ns_Set *row); static int Ns_PgFlush(Ns_DbHandle *handle); static Ns_DbTableInfo *Ns_PgGetTableInfo(Ns_DbHandle *handle, char *table); static char *Ns_PgTableList(Ns_DString *pds, Ns_DbHandle *handle, int includesystem); static char *Ns_PgBestRowId(Ns_DString *pds, Ns_DbHandle *handle, char *table); static int Ns_PgServerInit(char *hServer, char *hModule, char *hDriver); static char *pgName = DRIVER_NAME; static unsigned int pgCNum = 0; /*- * * The NULL-terminated PgProcs[] array of Ns_DbProc structures is the * method by which the function pointers are passed to the nsdb module * through the Ns_DbRegisterDriver() function.
