Package: unixodbc Version: 2.2.11-9 Severity: important
The combination of unixodbc, libmyodbc and r-cran-rodbc works nicely on a couple of i386 (debian unstable) and one amd64 (debian stable) boxes. On this machine, I am running pure amd64 unstable, and I get a very strange behavior with ODBC connections to my local mysql database: A php test script <?php $dbh = odbc_connect('cytotox', 'cytotox', 'cytotox') or die(odbc_errormsg() ); ?> just segfaults. strace ends with a_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(3306), sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16) = 0 setsockopt(3, SOL_IP, IP_TOS, [53983375223947272], 4) = 0 setsockopt(3, SOL_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, [53983375223947265], 4) = 0 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_KEEPALIVE, [-6000514326958440447], 4) = 0 read(3, "A\0\0\0\n5.0.18-Debian_8-log\0,\0\0\0>?b"..., 16384) = 69 stat("/usr/share/mysql/charsets/Index.xml", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=18171, ...}) = 0 open("/usr/share/mysql/charsets/Index.xml", O_RDONLY) = 4 read(4, "<?xml version=\'1.0\' encoding=\"ut"..., 18171) = 18171 close(4) = 0 write(3, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"..., 73) = 73 read(3, "\1\0\0\2\376", 16384) = 5 write(3, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", 13) = 13 read(3, "\7\0\0\4\0\0\0\2\0\0\0", 16384) = 11 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++ An R test script library(RODBC) channel <- odbcConnect("cytotox",uid="cytotox", pwd="cytotox") odbcGetInfo(channel) query <- "select plates from plates" tables <- sqlQuery(channel,query,errors=TRUE) tables odbcGetErrMsg(channel) odbcClose(channel) shows an error message if the SQL Query can not be executed because of an unknown column name: > tables <- sqlQuery(channel,query,errors=TRUE) > tables [1] "[RODBC] ERROR: Could not SQLExecDirect" [2] "S0022 1054 [unixODBC][MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-5.0.18-Debian_8-log]Unknown column 'plates' in 'field list'" but if I use the correct column name, it returns an empty set > query <- "select plate from plates" > tables <- sqlQuery(channel,query,errors=TRUE) > tables character(0) > odbcGetErrMsg(channel) character(0) although the same query issued with the mysql command line client (and same username and password) gives 1202 rows. I don't know how to debug this. Any comments welcome!
