First of all I totally understand all your statements, I do not want to be rude or annoying, the SQL server is fixed since a long time and I am not looking for your help on my database but only to understand how FreeRADIUS works and interact in order to find a workaround.
Then ask questions which indicate that you want to learn. Don't ask questions which insinuate that we're idiots.
From what you said I understood from you both that in case of a blocked SQL databases the librairies does not allow FreeRADIUS to just consider the server as blocked and apply a timeout.
Thank you for the idea of having two separates instances of FreeRADIUS one for detail files and one for SQL queries.
It will help, but only for a very short time. Your database is broken. All of this arguing could have been avoided if you just fixed the database. I've been doing this for about 20 years now. I know a bit about the subject. You weren't attempting to educate yourself or to fix the problem, you were attempting to blame FreeRADIUS for everything, and tell me that I intentionally designed broken software. That's why you got a long response. Alan DeKok.
