| db | Pointer to a database connection handle. If *db is NULL, mco_HA_attach_master() creates a new database using parameters from db_params. If *db is a valid connection to an existing database, the database switches to replica mode and is synchronized with the master’s. |
|
connection_string |
Transport layer dependent connection string.. For TCP/UDP transport it should be “<masterhost>:<port>”, where masterhost is the hostname or IP-address of the master node, and <port> is the number of the listening port (defined on the master side by the “masterport” parameter of For PIPES transport it should be a pipe name (e.g. “/tmp/test00”). |

params |
Connection parameters (see mco_HA_replica_params_init). |

reason |

timeout |
Connection timeout period. If the master does not connect within this period, the function returns |
This function is called by a replica application after calling the mco_db_open_dev() or mco_db_load() to open a database. Note that mco_HA_attach_master() is a blocking call that internally performs handshaking with the master, loads the master’s current state (database), and waits to accept transactions from the master. It exits when one of the following occurs:
- An unrecoverable error is detected
- Requested by the master
- A local asynchronous request from the standby’s application is issued via mco_HA_replica_stop()
- A cancel request is issued via mco_HA_cancel()
- The flag passed to the function is MCO_HAMODE_FORCE_MASTER; this causes the attaching process (a replica at this moment) to synchronize the database with the current master, then send a KILL_MASTER message to the current master, detach itself from the master and become the new master. This flag is normally associated with Binary Schema Evolution.
When the function returns, the application may elect to destroy the database, to start using it as a master database, or to start using it as a standby database again.
| MCO_S_OK | The master was connected successfully. |
|
MCO_E_HA_PROTOCOLERR |
Incompatible protocol. |
|
MCO_E_HA_IOERROR |
The replica was unable to send or receive a message to/from the master. |
|
MCO_E_NW_TIMEOUT |
Master not connected within the specified timeout period. |
