I wasn't quite ready for this, but it has been on my list for a long time... since it has come up, let me throw up this database structure for comment. I have reduced the number of tables (in a full installation) and made it relational.-

I use bigint keys because the last time I looked (admittedly it was a long time ago) if you had 2 bigints at the beginning of a table, and the value in the second one was small, those two fields were bigger than the data overwritten when a record is deleted from the table. This increases the amount of data you can recover until the record gets overwritten. (I have had to recover deleted records the by searching through the database files before...)

If this happens, MANY_DOMAINS, CLEAR_PASS and IP_ALIAS_DOMAINS will all go away. If we need to enable/disable clear pass it will be an option in the file where we set the database open info.

Also, I want to change query construction from creating defines to building them into strings.

I would also like to remove all data base structure changes from the code, and provide a sql script to create the database. The vopomail database user should be able to operate with no more than INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE, and SELECT rights to the database.

I was planning on making vpopmaild the distinguishing factor for 5.5, but it looks like this will be it. As soon as we go two weeks with no one finding a problem with 5.4, I'll start a new 5.5 branch for this.



Comments?


This should probably move to vpopmail-devel on SourceForge...
