SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 2014 Cannot execute queries while other unbuffered queries are active. ...
This one can be a royal pain to deal with. Never stack statements to be executed in one go. Nobody ever mentions this possibility in all the posts I've seen dealing with this error.
This example is a Zend Framework example but the theory is the same.
As in:
<?php
$sql = <<<____SQL
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `ticket_hist` (
`tid` int(11) NOT NULL,
`trqform` varchar(40) NOT NULL,
`trsform` varchar(40) NOT NULL,
`tgen` datetime NOT NULL,
`tterm` datetime,
`tstatus` tinyint(1) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=ARCHIVE COMMENT='ticket archive';
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `request_hist` (
`rqid` int(11) NOT NULL,
`rqtid` int(11) NOT NULL,
`rqsid` int(11) NOT NULL,
`rqdate` datetime NOT NULL,
`rqcode` tinyint(1) NOT NULL,
`rssid` int(11) NOT NULL,
`rsdate` datetime,
`rscode` tinyint(1)
) ENGINE=ARCHIVE COMMENT='request archive';
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `relay_hist` (
`rqid` int(5) NOT NULL,
`sdesc` varchar(40) NOT NULL,
`rqemail` varchar(40) NOT NULL,
`sid` int(11) NOT NULL,
`rlsid` int(11) NOT NULL,
`dcode` varchar(5) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=ARCHIVE COMMENT='relay archive';
____SQL;
$result = $this->db->getConnection()->exec($sql);
?>
This will run fine but PDO will balk with the 'unbuffered' error if you follow this with another query.
Instead do:
<?php
$sql = <<<____SQL
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `ticket_hist` (
`tid` int(11) NOT NULL,
`trqform` varchar(40) NOT NULL,
`trsform` varchar(40) NOT NULL,
`tgen` datetime NOT NULL,
`tterm` datetime,
`tstatus` tinyint(1) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=ARCHIVE COMMENT='ticket archive';
____SQL;
$result = $this->db->getConnection()->exec($sql);
$sql = <<<____SQL
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `request_hist` (
`rqid` int(11) NOT NULL,
`rqtid` int(11) NOT NULL,
`rqsid` int(11) NOT NULL,
`rqdate` datetime NOT NULL,
`rqcode` tinyint(1) NOT NULL,
`rssid` int(11) NOT NULL,
`rsdate` datetime,
`rscode` tinyint(1)
) ENGINE=ARCHIVE COMMENT='request archive';
____SQL;
$result = $this->db->getConnection()->exec($sql);
$sql = <<<____SQL
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `relay_hist` (
`rqid` int(5) NOT NULL,
`sdesc` varchar(40) NOT NULL,
`rqemail` varchar(40) NOT NULL,
`sid` int(11) NOT NULL,
`rlsid` int(11) NOT NULL,
`dcode` varchar(5) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=ARCHIVE COMMENT='relay archive';
____SQL;
$result = $this->db->getConnection()->exec($sql);
?>
Chopping it into individual queries fixes the problem.
