MySQL dotConnect Lockup/Infinite loop

Post by ngoodwin » Mon 11 Jan 2010 17:12

The following code sample creates what seems to be a recursive infinite loop. I suspect that when the connection exception occurs, it tries to close the connection and thus will tries to commit the open transaction, which fails and tries to close the connection, etc.

This happens on version 5.40.44.0. Can you please check if this is fixed in the current newest version? If so i will simply upgrade, however I'd like to avoid the upgrade process if the current version is fixed and just simply wait till a version with this bug fixed is released. Thank you.

Code: Select all

/// 
        /// Reproduce locked table bug for DevART MySQL
        /// 
        private void BugRepro()
        {
            try
            {
                var connectionStringBuilder = new MySqlConnectionStringBuilder

Reproducible in latest version

Post by ngoodwin » Tue 12 Jan 2010 13:47

I have just used the same code sample as above to reproduce this bug in MySql DotConnection version 5.50.62.0. I really need a response soon, this bug is critical. I can't see a way to work around this without this problem being resolved.

Any idea when this will be released non-beta? We do not want to put the beta inside of our production release.

The build is called Beta because it includes major changes intended to support Entity Framework v4 Beta 2. These changes mostly concern the Devart Entity Developer application. dotConnect for MySQL itself is stable.
