Topic on Extension talk:OdbcDatabase

I am Using MediaWiki 1.24

I Downloaded ExternalData and OdbcDatabase extensions for for getting sql server am adding these lines

require_once "$IP/extensions/OdbcDatabase/OdbcDatabase.php";

include_once "$IP/extensions/ExternalData/ExternalData.php";

$edgDBServerType ['mydb'] = "odbc";

$edgDBServer ['mydb'] = "my_dsn";

$edgDBName ['mydb'] = "UNUSED"; 

$edgDBUser ['mydb'] = "sa";

$edgDBPass ['mydb'] = "sa@123";

$edgDBTablePrefix ['mydb'] = "dbo";

and i created my_dsn odbc in my windows wiki server in wiki page

{{#get_db_data: db=mydb |from=Testtable |data=test1=test1,test2=test2}}

now submit the page i got a below error message on top of the page

Undefined index: odbc in D:\xampp\htdocs\SNWiki\includes\db\Database.php on line 915

In Database.php the line 915 is below bold line

if ( class_exists( $class ) && is_subclass_of( $class, 'DatabaseBase' ) ) {

$params = array(

'host' => isset( $p['host'] ) ? $p['host'] : false,

'user' => isset( $p['user'] ) ? $p['user'] : false,

'password' => isset( $p['password'] ) ? $p['password'] : false,

'dbname' => isset( $p['dbname'] ) ? $p['dbname'] : false,

'flags' => isset( $p['flags'] ) ? $p['flags'] : 0,

'tablePrefix' => isset( $p['tablePrefix'] ) ? $p['tablePrefix'] : 'get from global',

'schema' => isset( $p['schema'] ) ? $p['schema'] : $defaultSchemas[$dbType],

'foreign' => isset( $p['foreign'] ) ? $p['foreign'] : false

);

If i type wrong table name in wiki page it showing Below Errors

Notice: Undefined index: odbc in D:\xampp\htdocs\SNWiki\includes\db\Database.php on line 915

Warning: odbc_exec(): SQL error: [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0][SQL Server]Invalid object name 'Testtable1'., SQL state S0002 in SQLExecDirect in D:\xampp\htdocs\SNWiki\extensions\OdbcDatabase\OdbcDatabase.body.php on line 26'

so i think connectivity is not a problem.

Kindly Help me

Ragu, great question. I have not yet tested on 1.24.x as we are stuck on 1.21. There may be a change in Database.php that adds additional logic around the $defaultSchemas array. I am sure the value 'odbc' does not appear in the $defaultSchemas array. Since OdbcDatabase builds on the ExternalData extension, there may be a dependency there I have not yet tested where we need to pass $p['schema'] in somehow. ExternalData may not yet support a config variable (e.g. $edgDBSchema) to support specifying the schema.

In the short term, you might be able to find where $defaultSchemas is defined and add a reasonable value for 'odbc'. A more elegant solution will require more time.

I am in the process of upgrading our MediaWiki to the current release (finally!), so may be able to update the OdbcDatabase extension in the near future.

Thanks for your reply. now i am adding element in defaultschema for odbc in database.php

                       $defaultSchemas = array(
			'mysql' => null,
			'postgres' => null,
			'sqlite' => null,
			'oracle' => null,
			'mssql' => 'get from global',
                        'odbc' => null 

now data fetching is fine.
