I just commited a new SQL auxprop plugin (deprecating the existing MySQL
plugin) to CVS. This new plugin supports both MySQL and PostreSQL, and
is easily extensible to support other database engines. The plugin
compiles with both MySQL and PostgreSQL code, but I have only tested the
MySQL code path.
For those of you using the existing MySQL plugin or your own home-grown
PgSQL plugin, I urge (at least some) of you to try this new plugin and
report any problems. Starting with SASL v2.1.16, this plugin will be
the officially "blessed" one, meaning any/all patches should be against it.
To use the new plugin, you have to do the following:
- Use the --enable-sql configure option to compile the plugin and
optionally set --with-mysql and/or --with-pgsql accordingly
- Add a 'sql_engine' option to your config file with either 'mysql'
(default) or 'pgsql'
- Change your existing 'mysql_*' options to just 'sql_*'
- Change your existing 'auxprop_plugins' option to use 'sql' instead of
'mysql'
Also note that the syntax of 'sql_hostnames' has been changed to accept
an optional port, eg 'host:port'
