For easy maintainability, current database-related code within the PBS server needs to be refactored into a separate pluggable dynamic library. And this design page discusses the APIs using which PBS server can talk to Libdb, the database dynamic library using which PBS can talk to the database. Another motivation behind this refactoring is the added advantage of moving to any database without having to do major code changes within PBS itself.
1.1. Files: List of files PBS will need to have database support.
PBS_EXEC/lib/libdb.so
Description: This dynamic library will have the functionality for the PBS server to access the database.
PBS_EXEC/libexec/pbs_db_utility
Description: This script will house all the supporting routines needed by the database. Example routines to install the PBS database, upgrade the database, etc.
Usage: PBS_EXEC/libexec/pbs_db_utility <install_db | upgrade_db | init_db_env>
Parameters:
install_db: Create and initialize the dataservice instance.
upgrade_db: Upgrade the database.
init_db_env: Intitialize the environment with information related to database installation path.
PBS_EXEC/include/pbs_db.h
Description: This header file will provide declarations for APIs and argument structures listed below.
pbs_db_conn_t: Structure used to maintain the database connection information. All elements of this structure are generic and are not bound to any particular database.
struct pbs_db_connection {
void *conn_db_handle; /* opaque database handle */
char *conn_host; /* host */
int conn_port; /* port */
int conn_timeout; /* connection timeout */
int conn_state; /* connected? */
int conn_db_state; /* db up? down? starting? */
time_t conn_connect_time; /* when was connection initiated */
void *conn_db_err; /* opaque database error store */
void *conn_data; /* any other db specific data */
void *conn_extend; /* any other db specific options */
}
typedef struct pbs_db_connection pbs_db_conn_t;
pbs_db_obj_info_t: Wrapper object structure. It contains a pointer to one of the several database structures. Most of the database manipulation/query functions take this structure as a parameter. Depending on the contained structure type, an appropriate internal database manipulation/query function is eventually called. This allows keeping the interface simpler and generic.
struct pbs_db_obj_info {
int pbs_db_obj_type; /* identifies the contained object type */
union {
pbs_db_job_info_t *pbs_db_job; /* map database job structure to C */
pbs_db_jobscr_info_t *pbs_db_jobscr; /* map database job script to C */
pbs_db_resv_info_t *pbs_db_resv; /* map database resv structure to C */
pbs_db_svr_info_t *pbs_db_svr; /* map database server structure to C */
pbs_db_que_info_t *pbs_db_que; /* map database queue structure to C */
pbs_db_node_info_t *pbs_db_node; /* map database node structure to C */
pbs_db_sched_info_t *pbs_db_sched; /* map database scheduler structure to C */
