List of Examples
db_mode parameterThe module implements a simplified database engine based on text files. It can be used by OpenSIPS DB interface instead of other database module (like MySQL).
The module is meant for use in demos or small devices that do not support other DB modules. It keeps everything in memory and if you deal with large amount of data you may run quickly out of memory. Also, it has not implemented all standard database facilities (like order by), it includes minimal functionality to work properly (who knows ?!?) with OpenSIPS.
NOTE: the timestamp is printed in an integer value from time_t structure. If you use it in a system that cannot do this conversion, it will fail (support for such situation is in to-do list).
NOTE: even when is in non-caching mode, the module does not write back to hard drive after changes. In this mode, the module checks if the corresponding file on disk has changed, and reloads it. The write on disk happens at OpenSIPS shut down.
The dbtext database system architecture:
a database is represented by a directory in the local file system. NOTE: when you use dbtext in OpenSIPS, the database URL for modules must be the path to the directory where the table-files are located, prefixed by “dbtext://”, e.g., “dbtext:///var/dbtext/ser”. If there is no “/” after “dbtext://” then “CFG_DIR/” is inserted at the beginning of the database path. So, either you provide an absolute path to database directory or a relative one to “CFG_DIR” directory.
a table is represented by a text file inside database directory.
First line is the definition of the columns. Each column must be declared as follows:
the name of column must not include white spaces.
the format of a column definition is: name(type,attr).
between two column definitions must be a white space, e.g., “first_name(str) last_name(str)”.
the type of a column can be:
int - integer numbers.
double - real numbers with two decimals.
str - strings with maximum size of 4KB.
a column can have one of the attributes:
auto - only for 'int' columns, the maximum value in that column is incremented and stored in this field if it is not provided in queries.
null - accept null values in column fields.
if no attribute is set, the fields of the column cannot have null value.
each other line is a row with data. The line ends with “\n”.
the fields are separated by “:”.
no value between two ':' (or between ':' and start/end of a row) means “null” value.
next characters must be escaped in strings: “\n”, “\r”, “\t”, “:”.
0 -- the zero value must be escaped too.
Example 1.1. Sample of a dbtext table
... id(int,auto) name(str) flag(double) desc(str,null) 1:nick:0.34:a\tgood\: friend 2:cole:-3.75:colleague 3:bob:2.50: ...
Example 1.2. Minimal OpenSIPS location dbtext table definition
... username(str) contact(str) expires(int) q(double) callid(str) cseq(int) ...
Example 1.3. Minimal OpenSIPS subscriber dbtext table example
... username(str) password(str) ha1(str) domain(str) ha1b(str) suser:supasswd:xxx:alpha.org:xxx ...
None.
Set caching mode (0) or non-caching mode (1). In caching mode, data is loaded at startup. In non-caching mode, the module check every time a table is requested whether the corresponding file on disk has changed, and if yes, will re-load table from file.
Default value is “0”.
Compile the module and load it instead of mysql or other DB modules.
REMINDER: when you use dbtext in OpenSIPS, the database URL for modules must be the path to the directory where the table-files are located, prefixed by “dbtext://”, e.g., “dbtext:///var/dbtext/ser”. If there is no “/” after “dbtext://” then “CFG_DIR/” is inserted at the beginning of the database path. So, either you provide an absolute path to database directory or a relative one to “CFG_DIR” directory.
Example 1.5. Load the dbtext module
...
loadmodule "/path/to/opensips/modules/db_text.so"
...
modparam("module_name", "database_URL", "text:///path/to/dbtext/database")
...
Here are the definitions for most important table as well as a basic configuration file to use dbtext with OpenSIPS. The table structures may change in time and you will have to adjust next examples. These are know to work with upcoming OpenSIPS v0.9.x
You have to populate the table 'subscriber' by hand with user profiles in order to have authentication. To use with the given configuration file, the table files must be placed in the '/tmp/serdb' directory.
Example 1.6. Definition of 'subscriber' table (one line)
... username(str) domain(str) password(str) first_name(str) last_name(str) phone(str) email_address(str) datetime_created(int) datetime_modified(int) confirmation(str) flag(str) sendnotification(str) greeting(str) ha1(str) ha1b(str) perms(str) allow_find(str) timezone(str,null) rpid(str,null) ...
Example 1.7. Definition of 'location' and 'aliases' tables (one line)
... username(str) domain(str,null) contact(str,null) received(str) expires(int,null) q(double,null) callid(str,null) cseq(int,null) last_modified(str) flags(int) user_agent(str) socket(str) ...
Example 1.8. Definition of 'version' table and sample records
... table_name(str) table_version(int) subscriber:3 location:6 aliases:6 ...
