Re: (RADIATOR) Database support fault tolerance

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Tony -

There is already an AcctFailedLogFileName available in the AuthBy SQL 
clause that you can use to store the accounting records if the database 
is unreachable.

See section 6.28.19 in the Radiator 3.6 reference manual 
("doc/ref.html").

regards

Hugh

Should your data source ever fail, radiator could continue to operate
while losing very little function and no loss of accounting records.
This may also speed radiator up, as it would just hand the data to the
middleware without ever having to wait on the sql server.

Hello Dan -

It would be fairly simple to have Radiator write to a flat file for
accounting, and then have a cron job or similar load the data into the

database periodically. You will find a simple utility to do this in
the
file "goodies/radimportacct".
I was hoping more for something like this included in Radiator's 
design.
Would benefit many, really.
