MySQL Bugs: #28253: ndb_size.pl: cannot set socket

Bug #28253	ndb_size.pl: cannot set socket
Submitted:	4 May 2007 20:37	Modified:	15 Sep 2007 13:21
Reporter:	Gerry Reno
Status:	Closed
Category:	Server: Cluster	Severity:	S4 (Feature request)
Version:	5.1.18-BK, 5.1.17, 5.0.42-BK	OS:	Any
Assigned to:	Stewart Smith	Target Version:
Triage:	D5 (Feature request)

Description:
ndb_size.pl needs modified so that you can declare the location of your socket.

How to repeat:
call ndb_size.pl when your socket is in a non-default location and the script will fail.

Suggested fix:
around line 54 replace with the following line:
my $dsn =
"DBI:mysql:database=$database;host=$hostname;mysql_socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock";

or something like this.  Anything so that the user can declare it on the command line or
edit it in the script.  No everyone has their sockets in the same location.

Thank you for a reasonable feature request. Verified with both 5.0.42-BK (your line number
is more related to 5.0.x) and 5.1.18-BK by code review.
