Description Kenneth Ballard 2009-07-25 06:01:15 UTC 
GnuCash will crash if you attempt to enter login credentials to a MySQL database and the backend refuses the connection.

To reproduce:

1. Open GnuCash
2. Attempt to open a MySQL database. Provide bad login credentials. Press OK.
Comment 1 Phil Longstaff 2009-09-06 18:26:14 UTC 
Confirmed
Comment 2 Phil Longstaff 2009-09-07 15:07:59 UTC 
For some reason, it's crashing inside libdbi trying to handle the error.  I can't really figure out what it's trying to do.
Comment 3 Phil Longstaff 2009-09-07 15:15:06 UTC 
Crashes with postgres as well.
Comment 4 Phil Longstaff 2009-09-11 15:01:27 UTC 
There seems to be a general problem in libdbi when the dbd driver calls the internal error handler routine.  I've seen it on windows with mysql and postgres.  Haven't really looked with sqlite3, but will try.

Patch needed for libdbi on win32.

I just tested this bug with invalid login credentials on GnuCash 2.3.8 on Win32. I received an error message saying there was a connection error and GnuCash did not crash after dismissing the message.

I feel this bug is fixed. Marking as verified.
