Extending MySQL using the Component Infrastructure – part 9: adding a new function

This post is the nine one of a series of articles on extending MySQL with the Component Infrastructure, the list above will be updated as new articles are published:

If you have use the Component we created during part 8, you may have noticed that on the error log (not the one in performance_schema), there was the following message if your virus database was not up to date:

Once the Component and the ClamAV engine are loaded, even if the virus database is updated (freshclam), the virus database used will still be the previous one. We then need to call again reload_engine().

We will create now a new user function that we can use to reload the ClamAV engine after having upgraded the virus database. We could also detect this automatically using cl_statchkdir() every time we scan data, but I find such method too expansive.

I prefer that the System Engineer in charge of upgrading the Virus Database will also reload the engine in MySQL.

So let start by creating a new user function called virus_reload_engine() on line 335:

This new function calls udf_impl::virusreload_udf defined on line 253 (the init and deinit are also defined on lines 236 and 249). We already the details about this in part 6.

Let’s try our new feature after having compiled our new component and run mtr:

Perfect, the engine is indeed reloaded only if new signatures are present on the system.

We can also see the messages we created in error log:

Our component is improving and is already perfectly usable. On the next article we will learn how to add status variables.

Stay tuned and as usual enjoy MySQL and enjoy coding !
