Title: About Anope MySQL question
Post by: GhosT on October 01, 2006, 02:55:22 AM

Hi forumers,

I have an unclear question about Anope with MySQL. It is not a problem yet but i wanna be clear :)
If before I used Anope with MySQL and later on I want to use Anope with only *.db files but I have only SQL database, is there any solution?

Thanks,

Anope is in phase 2 still, which means it reads and writes from it's *.db files. If you delete the db files while services is shut down, then all your data is lost. Anope does not read from mysql in a live environment (yet).

Dumping data to mysql at this stage doesn't really do anything other than allow other entities such as a website to read from services data.

Thank you katsklaw for your quick reply. It s clear now.
So, there should be a tool (in src/tools) to transfer data from SQL to *.db in case we lose *.db and have only SQL. That would be great :)

simply start anope with UseRDB in services.conf defined...

Another thing is that if services is running and the db's are deleted, a simple /os update should fix the issue or wait until UpdateTimeout which by default is 5 minutes and the db's should be recreated.
