Non-Breaking Accounting Response Handling

Tried the following settings, but it still doesn't work.

The accounting log breaks when SQL fails to connect, and it only returns successfully when the SQL server is up. I want to ensure that accounting responds even if it fails to save the log to radutmp or SQL.

Error Message: (0) No reply from server for ID 124 socket 3

accounting {
	if ("%{User-Name}" =~ /@/) {
		radutmp
            	sql_Fradius_log
    	}
	exec
	attr_filter.accounting_response
	log_accounting
	ok
}

accounting {
	if ("%{User-Name}" =~ /@/) {
		radutmp
		sql_Fradius_log
		ok
    	}
	exec
	attr_filter.accounting_response
	log_accounting
}
