|
|
|
|
|
database to an ODBC relational database.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
script. For example:
|
|
|
|
|
./configure --enable-roster-gateway-workaround
|
2005-12-13 17:14:02 +01:00
|
|
|
This option allows to add items with subscription "to" in roster by
|
|
|
|
|
sending <presence type='subscribed'/> stanza to user. This option is
|
|
|
|
|
needed for JIT ICQ transport.
|
|
|
|
|
Warning: By using this option, ejabberd is not fully XMPP compliant.

Migration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Before any migration, ejabberd system and database must be properly
|
|
|
|
|
backed-up.
|
|
|
|
|
- System migrating from a previous ODBC based install will need to change
|
|
|
|
|
their relational database schema. The following SQL commands must be run
|
|
|
|
|
on the database:
|
|
|
|
|
CREATE SEQUENCE spool_seq_seq;
|
|
|
|
|
ALTER TABLE spool ADD COLUMN seq integer;
|
|
|
|
|
ALTER TABLE spool ALTER COLUMN seq SET DEFAULT nextval('spool_seq_seq');
|
|
|
|
|
UPDATE spool SET seq = DEFAULT;
|
|
|
|
|
ALTER TABLE spool ALTER COLUMN seq SET NOT NULL;
|
