I have an MySQL db connected via local host to a jRDC2 server.

I am accessing the server with a B4A App on my Android Pixel

The phone requests a small amount of data every five seconds. It works OK for maybe six to ten times then the server errors with:

So the server is connecting to the server and gets data, but then the connection dies and times out on the database connection.
To recover the server has to be restarted.

I looked up the error and it seems it might be a "connection leak" because it works for a number of tries with data rerturned within 500 ms usually much shorter than this some as low as 4ms.

I tried increasing the pool size to 5 but that made it worse, fewer successful transactions.

I am Using the latest mySQL Connector from the MySQL website:
#AdditionalJar: mysql-connector-j-9.2.0.jar

I tried another version:
#AdditionalJar: mysql-connector-java-5.1.49-bin

This didn't work either.

The MySQL is the community edition server V 8.0.41

Can anyone help me?

I don't think this will work, 5 connections could serve hundreds of users

If you are using vanilla jrdc2 then the issue must be on MySQL side that is not closing the connections successfully, may be a setting.

Connections get lost but it seems you are on a lan. So thats neither an option

Hi I found 2.23 and have checked the jRDC server I am using against it. It is not identical, as mine includes code for setting the client ip and port address and it has a mod to fix up a bug that occurs for mySQL date fields. The problem isn't with the jRDC code it is in the code that does the connection to the MySQL server port. I have tried different MySQL settings, max number of concurrent connections, I stopped the client that inserts records into the db, but it makes no difference. It gets 14 record-sets then crashes and has to be reset.

I have attached my jRDC server to this post.

I googled the error and it has something to do with the C3PO connection pool. This error seems pretty common and happens with databases other than MySQL, postgre, Vertica etc.

Here is one that seems interesting:
Stack Exchange C3PO Timeout

The C3PO pool can be configured in a native Java application, but as far as I can see not from within B4J.

I tried deepseek and got

[CODE lang="b4x" title="Timeout Exception Question of Deepseek"]The TimeoutException you're encountering indicates that your application is unable to acquire a resource (such as a database connection) from the resource pool within the specified timeout period. This is a common issue when working with connection pools like C3P0 (which is what com.mchange.v2.resourcepool refers to).

Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:
1. Check Database Availability
Ensure that your database is up and running.
Verify that the database is accessible from the application server (e.g., check network connectivity, firewall rules, etc.).
Test the database connection using a tool like telnet or a database client.

2. Increase Connection Pool Timeout

The default timeout for acquiring a connection might be too short. You can increase the checkoutTimeout in your C3P0 configuration:
properties

c3p0.checkoutTimeout=30000 # 30 seconds

This setting defines how long the pool will wait for a connection before throwing a TimeoutException.
3. Review Connection Pool Configuration

Ensure that your connection pool settings are appropriate for your application's load. Key settings to check:

maxPoolSize: The maximum number of connections in the pool.

minPoolSize: The minimum number of connections to keep in the pool.

initialPoolSize: The number of connections to create when the pool is initialized.

maxIdleTime: The maximum time a connection can remain idle before being closed.

Example configuration:
properties
Copy

c3p0.maxPoolSize=50
c3p0.minPoolSize=5
c3p0.initialPoolSize=10
c3p0.maxIdleTime=300 # 5 minutes

4. Check for Connection Leaks

If connections are not being properly returned to the pool, it can lead to exhaustion. To detect leaks:

Enable unreturnedConnectionTimeout and debugUnreturnedConnectionStackTraces in your C3P0 configuration:
properties

c3p0.unreturnedConnectionTimeout=300 # 5 minutes
c3p0.debugUnreturnedConnectionStackTraces=true

Review your code to ensure that all database connections, statements, and result sets are properly closed in a finally block.

5. Monitor Resource Usage

Check the current number of active connections in the pool. If it's close to the maxPoolSize, you may need to increase it.

Use monitoring tools (e.g., C3P0's built-in JMX support or a database monitoring tool) to track connection usage and identify bottlenecks.

6. Optimize Database Queries

Slow queries can tie up connections for longer than necessary, leading to connection pool exhaustion. Ensure that your queries are optimized and that appropriate indexes are in place.
7. Restart the Application

If the connection pool is in a bad state, restarting the application can help reset the pool and clear any lingering issues.
8. Upgrade C3P0

If you're using an older version of C3P0, consider upgrading to the latest version, as it may include bug fixes and performance improvements.
Example C3P0 Configuration

Here’s an example of a complete C3P0 configuration:
properties

c3p0.maxPoolSize=50
c3p0.minPoolSize=5
c3p0.initialPoolSize=10
c3p0.maxIdleTime=300
c3p0.checkoutTimeout=30000
c3p0.unreturnedConnectionTimeout=300
c3p0.debugUnreturnedConnectionStackTraces=true

9. Consider Alternative Connection Pools

If you continue to face issues, consider switching to a different connection pool, such as HikariCP, which is known for its performance and reliability.[/CODE]

Connection leak would seem a possibility, i.e. connection being opened, but not closed, however the jRDC handler closes the connection at the end of the handler viz:

[CODE lang="b4x" title="jRDC Handler" highlight="29"]Sub Handle(req As ServletRequest, resp As ServletResponse)
Dim start As Long = DateTime.Now
Dim q As String
Dim in As InputStream = req.InputStream
Dim method As String = req.GetParameter("method")
Dim con As SQL
Try
con = Main.rdcConnector1.GetConnection
If method = "query2" Then
q = ExecuteQuery2(con, in, resp)
#if VERSION1
Else if method = "query" Then
in = cs.WrapInputStream(in, "gzip")
q = ExecuteQuery(con, in, resp)
Else if method = "batch" Then
in = cs.WrapInputStream(in, "gzip")
q = ExecuteBatch(con, in, resp)
#end if
Else if method = "batch2" Then
q = ExecuteBatch2(con, in, resp)
Else
Log("Unknown method: " & method)
resp.SendError(500, "unknown method")
End If
Catch
Log(LastException)
resp.SendError(500, LastException.Message)
End Try
If con <> Null And con.IsInitialized Then con.Close
Log($"Command: ${q}, took: ${DateTime.Now - start}ms, client=${req.RemoteAddress}"$)
End Sub[/CODE]

Where to go from here?

I tried different settings for the pool : viz

[CODE lang="b4x" title="RDC Connector" highlight="6-11"] If config.ContainsKey("PoolSize") Then
If IsNumber(config.Get("PoolSize")) Then
Dim poolSize As Int = config.Get("PoolSize")
Dim jo As JavaObject = pool
jo.RunMethod("setMaxPoolSize", Array(poolSize))
jo.RunMethod("setInitialPoolSize", Array(20))
jo.RunMethod("setMaxConnectionAge", Array(3600))
jo.RunMethod("setMaxIdleTime", Array(3600 * 2))
' jo.RunMethod("setAcquireRetryAttempts", Array(5))
jo.RunMethod("setCheckoutTimeout", Array(3000))
' jo.RunMethod("setMaxIdleTimeExcessConnections", Array(3000))
End If
End If[/CODE]

using these settings I was able to get 50 record-sets.


The pool size max was 50.

I had a look at the MySQL performance monitoring:

Resources for each user:


Snag_1f3c8c93.png



Note the jRDC user and the number of open connections. When the number of open connections reached the max pool size and BOOOM! the jRDC server errors out.

The number of connections starts at the minimum set at (20) and once 20 records are obtained it starts to increment on each record-set retrieve.

So it seems to me the code calling the pool is not giving up its connections when it has finished with them and so they accumulate to the limit.

I tried making the idle timeout 1 second hoping the pool would close these connections off, but it didn't. The number of connections kept increasing.

The c# program that is putting the data in to the tables has a constant number of connections (5)

So I don't think that playing around with the C3PO parameters is a fix.

Where to from here. Do I really have to go back to sqLite after all of my work on mySQL?

I am not expert on this.
My understanding is opening database connection is expensive in term of resources.
Why do you need to make so many queries per milliseconds?

I see your sql query contains sub queries and complex calculation of aggregate functions which may need time to process. It may takes more time to complete.
Try modify to use database views, may improve the performance.

I am making a very simple query, five rows of 4 values every 60 seconds. The query only takes 35 to 500 milliseconds to return the data.

The database is only idling at this transaction rate.

I have used jRDC with sqLite and have had no problems.

The first query always seems to be the longest response time at around 530 ms. I'm not sure why, but this is tiny

I am testing without the aggregate queries. The query I am using is simple select ordering on the DataTimeStamp which is indexed, so very fast.

SQL: 
sql.getGHTempsAndBattery
SELECT
    UTC_DateTime,
    InsideTempDegC,
    OutsideTemperatureDegC,
    BatteryVolts,
    UTC_RecordAdded
FROM tbl_process_analog
ORDER BY UTC_DataTimeStamp DESC
LIMIT 5;

I don't think this will work, 5 connections could serve hundreds of users

If you are using vanilla jrdc2 then the issue must be on MySQL side that is not closing the connections successfully, may be a setting.

Connections get lost but it seems you are on a lan. So thats neither an option

The c# data server that is inserting records into the two tables is far more complex as it inserts then reads the data back to check it has been inserted correctly. So that is one insert query and one select query on all fields per record inserted and there is no problem with the MySQL server. I am using a different connection string over TCP/IP, "localhost" but that should not make any difference.

ok i found the problem, you will see it ni RDCConnetor:110-111

the connection is being created twice. one on line 110 and one on line 111, line 110 is lost on ram opened and thats why you are chocking the app

change
before:
B4X: 
Public Sub GetConnection As SQL
    If DebugQueries Then LoadSQLCommands(LoadConfigMap)
    If UsePool Then
        con = pool.GetConnection
        Return pool.GetConnection
    Else
        Return SQLite
    End If
End Sub

after:

B4X: 
Public Sub GetConnection As SQL
    If DebugQueries Then LoadSQLCommands(LoadConfigMap)
    If UsePool Then
        Return pool.GetConnection
    Else
        Return SQLite
    End If
End Sub

Yes that fixed it.

I remember how that extra line got in. I was having a lot of trouble getting a connection and I was fiddling around trying to get it to work. I must have had a "seniors moment" and I added it in then forgot about it.

So thank you very much, you are a star!

I knew it had to be a connection leak, but I don't understand how the jRDC system works behind the scenes so I was looking at the handler not the connector. I am not a Java person, I'm a bog standard "C" embedded programmer so all this stuff is a mystery and being nearly seventy I don't have the inclination to start on Java as I would have to live to 100.
