Hey all,
Using the normal mysql_connect function works not as expected and is hanging when the remote service is for some reason not available ( host down, db down, no network ). This is critical using this in a productive environment. Sofar i didn't found any useful function to test this. When you try to connect with mysql_connect (C) or driver->connect(C++) it will hang for some seconds until there get a timeout. But i second in this business is a long time.
Therefor i created a DLL which can handle the port socket test immediately.
!!ONLY MT5!! -> it's for x64 compiled
If you need this as x86, then download the VS2017 Project and compile it.
MQL5:
Howto import:
#import "Net\MT5_Net.dll"
bool connectionTest(char & host[], char & port[], int timeout );
#import
Arg 1: uchar m_hostChar[]
Arg 2: uchar m_portChar[]
Arg 3: int timeout
bool test = connectionTest( m_hostChar, m_portChar, 0 );
Print("TEST::::::>>" + IntegerToString(test));
