Subject: RE: SQLBOX [Was Re: Feature
request: storing incoming/outgoingmessagesin database]
This is a feature (storing MO/MT messages in a
database) is also something I've been looking for for quite a while
now.
I kept monitoring Kannel after some requests of other
users for this, however up until now, I've not seen this feature request
been picked up by one of the devs.. I suppose we're just waiting for
somebody to consider this a calling :-o
I would do it if it hadn't been a while since I
seriously programmed though, maybe with some help from other people
interested ? ..
Pak, the way you described your application is
exactly what I've had in mind for a project of mine too: i.e. poll an
"outbound" table for messages to be sent. Or maybe even work with triggers
(like oracle has for instance). And vice versa for the MO messages
obviously. This would also great to do some accounting real easy, a
couple of queries and you're done..
Kind regards,
Renaat
Dear All,
What is the status of "own
smsbox" called sqlbox ?
Why don't you list it to TODO list
?
Regards.

I had(?!) (yes *had*) an sqlbox
implementation that did this with
mysql. Actually it took my 1 week of
coding and I lost it, because my
laptop has been taken away by some
rude people that had to break into
my car. ;((
I have to check if I can find it on
one of our other local machine
here arround.
The basic idea was to use
pre-processor magic from gw/msg-decl.h and
wrap the structure of a SMS
message into table attributes.
Then I had a poll'ing thread that
checked in a configurable ammount of
sec if there are new messages in
the "outgoing" table and passed it
(as a smsbox connection) to
bearerbox. Same for MO messages, passed
everything into an other table
for external applications to poll them.
So, the idea has been there and even
the implementation. But don't
consider doing this inside smsbox itself.
Write an "own smsbox" called
sqlbox for this.
