NAME

       gammu-smsd-odbc - gammu-smsd(1) backend using ODBC abstraction layer to use any supported database as a message storage

DESCRIPTION

       New in version 1.29.92.

       ODBC  backend  stores  all  data  in  any  database  supported by ODBC, which parameters are defined by configuration (see gammu-smsdrc for
       description of configuration options).

       For tables description see gammu-smsd-tables.

       This backend is based on gammu-smsd-sql.

SUPPORTED DRIVERS

       On Microsoft Windows, Gammu uses native ODBC, on other platforms, unixODBC can be used.

LIMITATIONS

       Due to limits of the ODBC interface, you might have to tweak SQL queries to work in used SQL server, see SQL Queries for more details.

       Partially this can be configured using SQL.

CONFIGURATION

       Before running gammu-smsd you need to create necessary tables in the database. You can use examples given  in  database	specific  backends
       parts of this manual to do that.

       You specify data source name (DSN) as Host in gammu-smsdrc. The data source is configured depending on your platform.

       On Microsoft Windows, you can find instructions on Microsoft website: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305599

       For unixODBC this is documented in the user manual: http://www.unixodbc.org/doc/UserManual/

EXAMPLE

       Example configuration:

       [smsd]
       service = sql
       driver = odbc
       host = dsn_of_your_database
       sql = sql_variant_to_use
       user = username
       password = password
