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) data-
       base, even if the database has extended downtime.

       The SQL logfile is created by the rlm_sql_log module. The module must be configured in the radiusd server before you can use radsqlrelay.
