Stop working GPRS

[tarcisocallegario]

Dear Dr ChukBell, I have been using the MySQL_Connector_Arduino library during the month of June/2023 in an IOT product that uses the ESP32 board combined with the SIM800L module. After many attempts I managed to insert data into BD HOSTINGER.com.br. The device sent a record every 5 minutes to the DB. For connection I used the TinyGsmClient.h library. After working for 30 days, the device stopped sending records to the DB. The SIM800L module can no longer connect to the BD. Checking the MySQL_Connector_Arduino documentation I was able to verify, to my surprise, that this library should not work with the GPRS GSM module. Would you recommend any modifications so that the MySQL_Connector_Arduino could establish a connection with the DB using the GSM module?

Hello, The statement about the connector not working with GSM is there because most GSM libraries are not designed to be used with the Server and Client libraries common to the Arduino. That said, if you got it working, then it is likely the GSM library you found is compatible. As to why it stopped working, I would check external issues such as firewalls and access/permissions before attempting modifications to the library. You may also want to make sure whomever hosts your MySQL database hasn’t upgraded recently and is using an Oracle distribution because non-Oracle distributions have been known to fail, especially if they have been upgraded. Hint: check the native password setting. You can send me your sketch to look over if you’d like but it is more likely there is an external influence/issue at work here. Dr. Bell

Dear Dr. Charles Bell, below is the code from the MySQL_Connection.cpp library where I inserted the "lprint" commands to check where the program stopped working:

Hi, The error message you are getting tells me a few things: 1) The connection is working 2) Either the password was changed or the GRANT statement restricts the host (more later on this) 3) You are using a non-Oracle MySQL installation, which is not guaranteed to work (but appears to be working) That said, you should check with the MySQL Administrator to double-check the password for that user account and ensure that the mysql_native_password is enabled for that user. Recall that a user account in MySQL is actually two parts: the user id and the host id. GRANT statements can be issued to restrict access to specific hosts/networks, so you need to ask the MySQL administrator to check the ***@***.*** is: 1) still valid, 2) not restricted, 3) has the correct password, and 4) mysql_native_password is enabled for that user+host. For example, the error log shows Access denied for user 'u262515252_Aerogerador'@‘141.136.41.220’. Thus, the user u262515252_Aerogerador is actually stored in MySQL as: User_id = u262515252_Aerogerador host_id = 141.136.41.220 One way to check permissions for users is with this command: SHOW GRANTS FOR 'u262515252_Aerogerador'@‘141.136.41.220’; You should see various grants for the databases and that the mysql_native_password is enabled. If you don’t see any rows, you should consider using wildcards in the host_id (but that is not recommended). See https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.1/en/account-names.html and “Account Names” at https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.1/en/grant.html for more details. Hope this helps, Dr. Bell
