NAME

       gammu-smsd-tables - description of tables for database backends of gammu-smsd(1)

       The  backends  themselves are described in their sections, this document describes general
       database structure and required tables.

       More SMS daemons can share single database.  If  you  do  not  specify  PhoneID  in  their
       configuration,  all are treated equally and you have no guarantee which one sends outgoing
       message. If you configure PhoneID and use it when inserting message to  the  outbox  table
       (gammu-smsd-inject does this), each SMS daemon will have separate outbox queue.

RECEIVING OF MESSAGES

       Received messages are stored in inbox table.

TRANSMITTING OF MESSAGES

       Transmitted  messages are read from table outbox and possible subsequent parts of the same
       message from outbox_multipart.

DESCRIPTION OF TABLES

HISTORY OF DATABASE STRUCTURE

       NOTE:
          Testing versions (see versioning) do not have to keep same  table  structure  as  final
          releases.  Bellow  mentioned  versions  are for informational purposes only, you should
          always use stable versions in production environment.

       History of schema versions:

       13     Added SendBefore and SendAfter fields.

              Changed in version 1.29.90.

              Also PostgreSQL fields are now case sensitive (same as other backends).

              Changed in version 1.29.93.

       12     the changes only affect MySQL structure changing default values for timestamps from
              0000-00-00  00:00:00  to  CURRENT_TIMESTAMP()  by using triggers, to update to this
              version, just execute triggers definition at the end of SQL file.

              Changed in version 1.28.94.

       11     all fields for storing message text are no longer limited to  160  chars,  but  are
              arbitrary length text fields.

              Changed in version 1.25.92.

       10     DeliveryDateTime is now NULL when message is not delivered, added several indexes

              Changed in version 1.22.95.

       9      added sent/received counters to phones table

              Changed in version 1.22.93.

       8      Signal and battery state are now stored in database.

              Changed in version 1.20.94.

       7      Added CreatorID to several tables.

              Changed in version 1.07.00.

       6      Many fields in outbox can now be NULL.

              Changed in version 1.06.00.

       5      Introduced daemons table and various other changes.

              Changed in version 1.03.00.

       3      Introduced phones table and various other changes.

              Changed in version 0.98.0.

EXAMPLES

   Creating tables
       SQL  scripts  to  create  all  needed  tables  for  most  databases  are included in Gammu
       documentation (docs/sql). As well as some PHP scripts interacting with the database.

       For example to create SQLite tables, issue following command:

          sqlite3 smsd.db < docs/sql/sqlite.sql

   Injecting a message using SQL
       To send a message, you can either use gammu-smsd-inject, which does all the magic for you,
       or you can insert the message manually. The simplest example is short text message:

          INSERT INTO outbox (
              DestinationNumber,
              TextDecoded,
              CreatorID,
              Coding
          ) VALUES (
              '800123465',
              'This is a SQL test message',
              'Program',
              'Default_No_Compression'
          );

       Please  note  usage of TextDecoded field, for Text field, you would have to hex encode the
       unicode text:

          INSERT INTO outbox (
              DestinationNumber,
              Text,
              CreatorID,
              Coding
          ) VALUES (
              '800123465',
              '005400680069007300200069007300200061002000530051004c002000740065007300740020006d006500730073006100670065',
              'Program',
              'Default_No_Compression'
          );

   Injecting long message using SQL
       Inserting multipart messages is a bit more tricky, you need to construct also  UDH  header
       and  store  it  hexadecimally  written into UDH field. Unless you have a good reason to do
       this manually, use gammu-smsd-inject.

       For long text message, the UDH starts with 050003 followed by byte as a message  reference
       (you  can put anything there, but it should be different for each message, D3 in following
       example), byte for number of messages (02 in example, it should be unique for each message
       you  send  to  same  phone  number)  and  byte for number of current message (01 for first
       message, 02 for second, etc.).

       For example long text message of two parts could look like following:

          INSERT INTO outbox (
              CreatorID,
              MultiPart,
              DestinationNumber,
              UDH,
              TextDecoded,
              Coding
          ) VALUES (
              'Gammu 1.23.91',
              'true',
              '123465',
              '050003D30201',
              'Mqukqirip ya konej eqniu rejropocejor hugiygydewl tfej nrupxujob xuemymiyliralj. Te tvyjuh qaxumur ibewfoiws zuucoz tdygu gelum L ejqigqesykl kya jdytbez',
              'Default_No_Compression'
          )

          INSERT INTO outbox_multipart (
              SequencePosition,
              UDH,
              Class,
              TextDecoded,
              ID,
              Coding
          ) VALUES (
              2,
              '050003D30202',
              'u xewz qisubevumxyzk ufuylehyzc. Nse xobq dfolizygqysj t bvowsyhyhyemim ovutpapeaempye giuuwbib.',
              <ID_OF_INSERTED_RECORD_IN_OUBOX_TABLE>,
              'Default_No_Compression'
          )

       NOTE:
          Adding UDH means that you have less space for text, in above example you can  use  only
          153 characters in single message.
