Perl Script to Dump Database

Here we provide a script to dump desirable information from the database.

The script did:

• dump the sender-side table and receiver-side table from one or more OML databases
• count how many records are in each table
• put those number pairs in a file

The comparison of those two numbers could give an indication of the packet loss of OTG/OTR application

The program take database names as input arguments and save the result in "tempres" file

#!/usr/bin/perl

# this script read one or more databases and extract how many packets are sent and received respectively.
#

use Mysql;

$hostname = 'idb1.orbit-lab.org';
$user     = 'orbit';
$database = 'none';
$password = 'orbit';
$resultfile ='tempres';


$table1 = "temp/tx_table";
$table2 = "temp/rx_table";

$driver   = 'mysql';

my $noiselevel = 18;
my $now = localtime time;
open(res, ">>$resultfile")
                || die "Can't open result file: $!\n";
print res "$now test results are \n";
close res;

foreach(@ARGV)
{
   dumpDB($_,$table1,$table2);
   system("awk 'BEGIN {cnt=0} {cnt =cnt+1} END {printf(\"%d \", cnt) >> \"$resultfile\" }' $table2");
   system("awk 'BEGIN {cnt=0} {cnt =cnt+1} END {printf(\"%d \\n\", cnt) >> \"$resultfile\" }' $table1");
}

print "Done. check tempres file! \n";

#we need a subfunction to read 1 database 2 table and dump to two files
