NAME

radsqlrelay - relay SQL queries to a central database server

SYNOPSIS

radsqlrelay [-?] [-d sql_driver] [-b database] [-f file] [-h host] [-u user] [-P port] [-p password] [-1] [-x] file_path

DESCRIPTION

radsqlrelay tails a SQL logfile and forwards the queries to a database server. Used to replicate accounting records to one (central) database, even if the database has extended downtime.

The SQL logfile is created by the rlm_sql module with the rlm_sql_null driver logging to disk.. The module must be configured in the radiusd server before you can use radsqlrelay.

-d sql_driver: Driver to use: mysql, pg, oracle.
-b database: Name of the database to use.
-f file: Read password from file, instead of command line.
-h host: Connect to host.
-u user: User for login.

The command "radsqlrelay -d oracle -b db.domain.tld sql-relay" reads the database description stored in $TNS_ADMIN/tnsnames.ora:

db.domain.tld =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = db.domain.tld)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = <DB SID>)
    )
  )
