2# NAME
3#	sqlite_table 5
4# SUMMARY
5#	Postfix SQLite configuration
6# SYNOPSIS
7#	\fBpostmap -q "\fIstring\fB" sqlite:/etc/postfix/\fIfilename\fR
8#
9#	\fBpostmap -q - sqlite:/etc/postfix/\fIfilename\fB <\fIinputfile\fR
10# DESCRIPTION
11#	The Postfix mail system uses optional tables for address
12#	rewriting or mail routing. These tables are usually in
13#	\fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format.
14#
15#	Alternatively, lookup tables can be specified as SQLite databases.
16#	In order to use SQLite lookups, define an SQLite source as a lookup
17#	table in main.cf, for example:
18# .nf
19#	    alias_maps = sqlite:/etc/sqlite-aliases.cf
20# .fi
21#
22#	The file /etc/postfix/sqlite-aliases.cf has the same format as
23#	the Postfix main.cf file, and can specify the parameters
24#	described below.
25# BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY
26# .ad
27# .fi
28#	For compatibility with other Postfix lookup tables, SQLite
29#	parameters can also be defined in main.cf.  In order to do that,
30#	specify as SQLite source a name that doesn't begin with a slash
31#	or a dot.  The SQLite parameters will then be accessible as the
32#	name you've given the source in its definition, an underscore,
33#	and the name of the parameter.	For example, if the map is
34#	specified as "sqlite:\fIsqlitename\fR", the parameter "query"
35#	below would be defined in main.cf as "\fIsqlitename\fR_query".
36#
37#	Normally, the SQL query is specified via a single \fBquery\fR
38#	parameter (described in more detail below).  When this
39#	parameter is not specified in the map definition, Postfix
40#	reverts to an older interface, with the SQL query constructed
41#	from the \fBselect_field\fR, \fBtable\fR, \fBwhere_field\fR
42#	and \fBadditional_conditions\fR parameters.  The old interface
43#	will be gradually phased out. To migrate to the new interface
44#	set:
45#
46# .nf
47#	    \fBquery\fR = SELECT [\fIselect_field\fR]
48#	        FROM [\fItable\fR]
49#	        WHERE [\fIwhere_field\fR] = '%s'
50#	            [\fIadditional_conditions\fR]
51# .fi
52#
53#	Insert the value, not the name, of each legacy parameter. Note
54#	that the \fBadditional_conditions\fR parameter is optional
55#	and if not empty, will always start with \fBAND\fR.
56# LIST MEMBERSHIP
57# .ad
58# .fi
59#	When using SQL to store lists such as $mynetworks,
60#	$mydestination, $relay_domains, $local_recipient_maps,
61#	etc., it is important to understand that the table must
62#	store each list member as a separate key. The table lookup
63#	verifies the *existence* of the key. See "Postfix lists
64#	versus tables" in the DATABASE_README document for a
65#	discussion.
66#
67#	Do NOT create tables that return the full list of domains
68#	in $mydestination or $relay_domains etc., or IP addresses
69#	in $mynetworks.
70#
71#	DO create tables with each matching item as a key and with
72#	an arbitrary value. With SQL databases it is not uncommon to
73#	return the key itself or a constant value.
74# SQLITE PARAMETERS
75# .ad
76# .fi
77# .IP "\fBdbpath\fR"
78#	The SQLite database file location. Example:
79# .nf
80#	    dbpath = customer_database
81# .fi
82# .IP "\fBquery\fR"
83#	The SQL query template used to search the database, where \fB%s\fR
84#	is a substitute for the address Postfix is trying to resolve,
85#	e.g.
86# .nf
87#	    query = SELECT replacement FROM aliases WHERE mailbox = '%s'
88# .fi
89#
90#	This parameter supports the following '%' expansions:
91# .RS
92# .IP "\fB%%\fR"
93#	This is replaced by a literal '%' character.
94# .IP "\fB%s\fR"
95#	This is replaced by the input key.
96#	SQL quoting is used to make sure that the input key does not
97#	add unexpected metacharacters.
98# .IP "\fB%u\fR"
99#	When the input key is an address of the form user@domain, \fB%u\fR
100#	is replaced by the SQL quoted local part of the address.
101#	Otherwise, \fB%u\fR is replaced by the entire search string.
102#	If the localpart is empty, the query is suppressed and returns
103#	no results.
104# .IP "\fB%d\fR"
105#	When the input key is an address of the form user@domain, \fB%d\fR
106#	is replaced by the SQL quoted domain part of the address.
107#	Otherwise, the query is suppressed and returns no results.
108# .IP "\fB%[SUD]\fR"
109#	The upper-case equivalents of the above expansions behave in the
110#	\fBquery\fR parameter identically to their lower-case counter-parts.
111#	With the \fBresult_format\fR parameter (see below), they expand the
112#	input key rather than the result value.
113# .IP "\fB%[1-9]\fR"
114#	The patterns %1, %2, ... %9 are replaced by the corresponding
115#	most significant component of the input key's domain. If the
116#	input key is \fIuser@mail.example.com\fR, then %1 is \fBcom\fR,
117#	%2 is \fBexample\fR and %3 is \fBmail\fR. If the input key is
118#	unqualified or does not have enough domain components to satisfy
119#	all the specified patterns, the query is suppressed and returns
120#	no results.
121# .RE
122# .IP
123#	The \fBdomain\fR parameter described below limits the input
124#	keys to addresses in matching domains. When the \fBdomain\fR
125#	parameter is non-empty, SQL queries for unqualified addresses
126#	or addresses in non-matching domains are suppressed
127#	and return no results.
128#
129#	This parameter is available with Postfix 2.2. In prior releases
130#	the SQL query was built from the separate parameters:
131#	\fBselect_field\fR, \fBtable\fR, \fBwhere_field\fR and
132#	\fBadditional_conditions\fR. The mapping from the old parameters
133#	to the equivalent query is:
134#
135# .nf
136#	    SELECT [\fBselect_field\fR]
137#	    FROM [\fBtable\fR]
138#	    WHERE [\fBwhere_field\fR] = '%s'
139#	          [\fBadditional_conditions\fR]
140# .fi
141#
142#	The '%s' in the \fBWHERE\fR clause expands to the escaped search string.
143#	With Postfix 2.2 these legacy parameters are used if the \fBquery\fR
144#	parameter is not specified.
145#
146#	NOTE: DO NOT put quotes around the query parameter.
147# .IP "\fBresult_format (default: \fB%s\fR)\fR"
148#	Format template applied to result attributes. Most commonly used
149#	to append (or prepend) text to the result. This parameter supports
150#	the following '%' expansions:
151# .RS
152# .IP "\fB%%\fR"
153#	This is replaced by a literal '%' character.
154# .IP "\fB%s\fR"
155#	This is replaced by the value of the result attribute. When
156#	result is empty it is skipped.
157# .IP "\fB%u\fR
158#	When the result attribute value is an address of the form
159#	user@domain, \fB%u\fR is replaced by the local part of the
160#	address. When the result has an empty localpart it is skipped.
161# .IP "\fB%d\fR"
162#	When a result attribute value is an address of the form
163#	user@domain, \fB%d\fR is replaced by the domain part of
164#	the attribute value. When the result is unqualified it
165#	is skipped.
166# .IP "\fB%[SUD1-9]\fR"
167#	The upper-case and decimal digit expansions interpolate
168#	the parts of the input key rather than the result. Their
169#	behavior is identical to that described with \fBquery\fR,
170#	and in fact because the input key is known in advance, queries
171#	whose key does not contain all the information specified in
172#	the result template are suppressed and return no results.
173# .RE
174# .IP
175#	For example, using "result_format = smtp:[%s]" allows one
176#	to use a mailHost attribute as the basis of a transport(5)
177#	table. After applying the result format, multiple values
178#	are concatenated as comma separated strings. The expansion_limit
179#	and parameter explained below allows one to restrict the number
180#	of values in the result, which is especially useful for maps that
181#	must return at most one value.
182#
183#	The default value \fB%s\fR specifies that each result value should
184#	be used as is.
185#
186#	This parameter is available with Postfix 2.2 and later.
187#
188#	NOTE: DO NOT put quotes around the result format!
189# .IP "\fBdomain (default: no domain list)\fR"
190#	This is a list of domain names, paths to files, or
191#	dictionaries. When specified, only fully qualified search
192#	keys with a *non-empty* localpart and a matching domain
193#	are eligible for lookup: 'user' lookups, bare domain lookups
194#	and "@domain" lookups are not performed. This can significantly
195#	reduce the query load on the SQLite server.
196# .nf
197#	    domain = postfix.org, hash:/etc/postfix/searchdomains
198# .fi
199#
200#	It is best not to use SQL to store the domains eligible
201#	for SQL lookups.
202#
203#	This parameter is available with Postfix 2.2 and later.
204#
205#	NOTE: DO NOT define this parameter for local(8) aliases,
206#	because the input keys are always unqualified.
207# .IP "\fBexpansion_limit (default: 0)\fR"
208#	A limit on the total number of result elements returned
209#	(as a comma separated list) by a lookup against the map.
210#	A setting of zero disables the limit. Lookups fail with a
211#	temporary error if the limit is exceeded.  Setting the
212#	limit to 1 ensures that lookups do not return multiple
213#	values.
214# OBSOLETE QUERY INTERFACE
215# .ad
216# .fi
217#	This section describes an interface that is deprecated as
218#	of Postfix 2.2. It is replaced by the more general \fBquery\fR
219#	interface described above.  If the \fBquery\fR parameter
220#	is defined, the legacy parameters described here ignored.
221#	Please migrate to the new interface as the legacy interface
222#	may be removed in a future release.
223#
224#	The following parameters can be used to fill in a
225#	SELECT template statement of the form:
226#
227# .nf
228#	    SELECT [\fBselect_field\fR]
229#	    FROM [\fBtable\fR]
230#	    WHERE [\fBwhere_field\fR] = '%s'
231#	          [\fBadditional_conditions\fR]
232# .fi
233#
234#	The specifier %s is replaced by the search string, and is
235#	escaped so if it contains single quotes or other odd characters,
236#	it will not cause a parse error, or worse, a security problem.
237# .IP "\fBselect_field\fR"
238#	The SQL "select" parameter. Example:
239# .nf
240#	    \fBselect_field\fR = forw_addr
241# .fi
242# .IP "\fBtable\fR"
243#	The SQL "select .. from" table name. Example:
244# .nf
245#	    \fBtable\fR = mxaliases
246# .fi
247# .IP "\fBwhere_field\fR
248#	The SQL "select .. where" parameter. Example:
249# .nf
250#	    \fBwhere_field\fR = alias
251# .fi
252# .IP "\fBadditional_conditions\fR
253#	Additional conditions to the SQL query. Example:
254# .nf
255#	    \fBadditional_conditions\fR = AND status = 'paid'
256# .fi
