  5. # History:
  6. # --------
  7. # 2003-04-07 this is a hack, from serctl, to make work with postgres
  8. #
  9. # DISCLAIMER:
  10. # I have yet to get this software working in my production environment.
  11. # Everything compiles and runs, but not for long. It may or may not be a
  12. # good starting point for the ser postgres driver.
  13. #
  14. # I had a hard time with memory while developing this.
  15. # So, I decided to incorporate some memory routines that
  16. # I have been using for years. This didn't fix the problem,
  17. # but it did make memory management easier.
  18. #
  19. # The postgres driver requires that you have postgres installed
  20. # on your system. You can download this from: www.postgresql.org.
  21. # For this I used postgres version 7.3.2, but I imagine almost any
  22. # recent version should work.
  23. #
  24. # You will then need to have a postgres database somewhere, and it
  25. # needs to have the tables created in it. Currently I am supporting
  26. # 2 tables, location and subscriber. The file createtables.txt contains
  27. # the table definitions and index definitions.
  28. #
  29. # You may wish to load the tables from a 0.8.10 database. The script
  30. # copy_to_psql can be modified to open your mysql database and it outputs
  31. # the necessary commands to populate the tables of the postgres database.
  32. #
  33. # To use the postgres module in your ser.cfg file is just like using the
  34. # mysql module. Ie:
  35. # loadmodule "/usr/local/lib/ser/modules/postgres.so"
  36. #
  37. # That's it. Good luck.
