# NAME
# sqlite_table 5
# SUMMARY
# Postfix SQLite configuration
# SYNOPSIS
# \fBpostmap -q "\fIstring\fB" sqlite:/etc/postfix/\fIfilename\fR
#
# \fBpostmap -q - sqlite:/etc/postfix/\fIfilename\fB <\fIinputfile\fR
# DESCRIPTION
# The Postfix mail system uses optional tables for address
# rewriting or mail routing. These tables are usually in
# \fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format.
#
# Alternatively, lookup tables can be specified as SQLite databases.
# In order to use SQLite lookups, define an SQLite source as a lookup
# table in main.cf, for example:
# .nf
# alias_maps = sqlite:/etc/sqlite-aliases.cf
# .fi
#
# The file /etc/postfix/sqlite-aliases.cf has the same format as
# the Postfix main.cf file, and can specify the parameters
# described below.
# BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY
# .ad
# .fi
# For compatibility with other Postfix lookup tables, SQLite
# parameters can also be defined in main.cf. In order to do that,
# specify as SQLite source a name that doesn't begin with a slash
# or a dot. The SQLite parameters will then be accessible as the
# name you've given the source in its definition, an underscore,
# and the name of the parameter. For example, if the map is
# specified as "sqlite:\fIsqlitename\fR", the parameter "query"
# below would be defined in main.cf as "\fIsqlitename\fR_query".
#
# Normally, the SQL query is specified via a single \fBquery\fR
# parameter (described in more detail below). When this
# parameter is not specified in the map definition, Postfix
# reverts to an older interface, with the SQL query constructed
# from the \fBselect_field\fR, \fBtable\fR, \fBwhere_field\fR
# and \fBadditional_conditions\fR parameters. The old interface
# will be gradually phased out. To migrate to the new interface
# set:
#
# .nf
# \fBquery\fR = SELECT [\fIselect_field\fR]
# FROM [\fItable\fR]
# WHERE [\fIwhere_field\fR] = '%s'
# [\fIadditional_conditions\fR]
# .fi
#
# Insert the value, not the name, of each legacy parameter. Note
# that the \fBadditional_conditions\fR parameter is optional
# and if not empty, will always start with \fBAND\fR.
# LIST MEMBERSHIP
# .ad
# .fi
# When using SQL to store lists such as $mynetworks,
# $mydestination, $relay_domains, $local_recipient_maps,
# etc., it is important to understand that the table must
# store each list member as a separate key. The table lookup
# verifies the *existence* of the key. See "Postfix lists
# versus tables" in the DATABASE_README document for a
# discussion.
#
# Do NOT create tables that return the full list of domains
# in $mydestination or $relay_domains etc., or IP addresses
# in $mynetworks.
#
# DO create tables with each matching item as a key and with
# an arbitrary value. With SQL databases it is not uncommon to
# return the key itself or a constant value.
# SQLITE PARAMETERS
# .ad
# .fi
# .IP "\fBdbpath\fR"
# The SQLite database file location. Example:
# .nf
# dbpath = customer_database
# .fi
# .IP "\fBquery\fR"
# The SQL query template used to search the database, where \fB%s\fR
# is a substitute for the address Postfix is trying to resolve,
# e.g.
# .nf
# query = SELECT replacement FROM aliases WHERE mailbox = '%s'
# .fi
#
# This parameter supports the following '%' expansions:
# .RS
# .IP "\fB%%\fR"
# This is replaced by a literal '%' character.
# .IP "\fB%s\fR"
# This is replaced by the input key.
# SQL quoting is used to make sure that the input key does not
# add unexpected metacharacters.
# .IP "\fB%u\fR"
# When the input key is an address of the form user@domain, \fB%u\fR
# is replaced by the SQL quoted local part of the address.
# Otherwise, \fB%u\fR is replaced by the entire search string.
# If the localpart is empty, the query is suppressed and returns
# no results.
# .IP "\fB%d\fR"
# When the input key is an address of the form user@domain, \fB%d\fR
# is replaced by the SQL quoted domain part of the address.
# Otherwise, the query is suppressed and returns no results.
# .IP "\fB%[SUD]\fR"
# The upper-case equivalents of the above expansions behave in the
# \fBquery\fR parameter identically to their lower-case counter-parts.
# With the \fBresult_format\fR parameter (see below), they expand the
# input key rather than the result value.
# .IP "\fB%[1-9]\fR"
# The patterns %1, %2, ... %9 are replaced by the corresponding
# most significant component of the input key's domain. If the
# input key is \fIuser@mail.example.com\fR, then %1 is \fBcom\fR,
# %2 is \fBexample\fR and %3 is \fBmail\fR. If the input key is
# unqualified or does not have enough domain components to satisfy
# all the specified patterns, the query is suppressed and returns
# no results.
# .RE
# .IP
# The \fBdomain\fR parameter described below limits the input
# keys to addresses in matching domains. When the \fBdomain\fR
# parameter is non-empty, SQL queries for unqualified addresses
# or addresses in non-matching domains are suppressed
# and return no results.
#
# This parameter is available with Postfix 2.2. In prior releases
# the SQL query was built from the separate parameters:
# \fBselect_field\fR, \fBtable\fR, \fBwhere_field\fR and
# \fBadditional_conditions\fR. The mapping from the old parameters
# to the equivalent query is:
#
# .nf
# SELECT [\fBselect_field\fR]
# FROM [\fBtable\fR]
# WHERE [\fBwhere_field\fR] = '%s'
# [\fBadditional_conditions\fR]
# .fi
#
# The '%s' in the \fBWHERE\fR clause expands to the escaped search string.
# With Postfix 2.2 these legacy parameters are used if the \fBquery\fR
# parameter is not specified.
#
# NOTE: DO NOT put quotes around the query parameter.
# .IP "\fBresult_format (default: \fB%s\fR)\fR"
# Format template applied to result attributes. Most commonly used
# to append (or prepend) text to the result. This parameter supports
# the following '%' expansions:
# .RS
# .IP "\fB%%\fR"
# This is replaced by a literal '%' character.
# .IP "\fB%s\fR"
# This is replaced by the value of the result attribute. When
# result is empty it is skipped.
# .IP "\fB%u\fR
# When the result attribute value is an address of the form
# user@domain, \fB%u\fR is replaced by the local part of the
# address. When the result has an empty localpart it is skipped.
# .IP "\fB%d\fR"
# When a result attribute value is an address of the form
# user@domain, \fB%d\fR is replaced by the domain part of
# the attribute value. When the result is unqualified it
# is skipped.
# .IP "\fB%[SUD1-9]\fR"
# The upper-case and decimal digit expansions interpolate
# the parts of the input key rather than the result. Their
# behavior is identical to that described with \fBquery\fR,
# and in fact because the input key is known in advance, queries
# whose key does not contain all the information specified in
# the result template are suppressed and return no results.
# .RE
# .IP
# For example, using "result_format = smtp:[%s]" allows one
# to use a mailHost attribute as the basis of a transport(5)
# table. After applying the result format, multiple values
# are concatenated as comma separated strings. The expansion_limit
# and parameter explained below allows one to restrict the number
# of values in the result, which is especially useful for maps that
# must return at most one value.
#
# The default value \fB%s\fR specifies that each result value should
# be used as is.
#
# This parameter is available with Postfix 2.2 and later.
#
# NOTE: DO NOT put quotes around the result format!
# .IP "\fBdomain (default: no domain list)\fR"
# This is a list of domain names, paths to files, or
# dictionaries. When specified, only fully qualified search
# keys with a *non-empty* localpart and a matching domain
# are eligible for lookup: 'user' lookups, bare domain lookups
# and "@domain" lookups are not performed. This can significantly
# reduce the query load on the SQLite server.
# .nf
# domain = postfix.org, hash:/etc/postfix/searchdomains
# .fi
#
# It is best not to use SQL to store the domains eligible
# for SQL lookups.
#
# This parameter is available with Postfix 2.2 and later.
#
# NOTE: DO NOT define this parameter for local(8) aliases,
# because the input keys are always unqualified.
# .IP "\fBexpansion_limit (default: 0)\fR"
# A limit on the total number of result elements returned
# (as a comma separated list) by a lookup against the map.
# A setting of zero disables the limit. Lookups fail with a
# temporary error if the limit is exceeded. Setting the
# limit to 1 ensures that lookups do not return multiple
# values.
# OBSOLETE QUERY INTERFACE
# .ad
# .fi
# This section describes an interface that is deprecated as
# of Postfix 2.2. It is replaced by the more general \fBquery\fR
# interface described above. If the \fBquery\fR parameter
# is defined, the legacy parameters described here ignored.
# Please migrate to the new interface as the legacy interface
# may be removed in a future release.
#
# The following parameters can be used to fill in a
# SELECT template statement of the form:
#
# .nf
# SELECT [\fBselect_field\fR]
# FROM [\fBtable\fR]
# WHERE [\fBwhere_field\fR] = '%s'
# [\fBadditional_conditions\fR]
# .fi
#
# The specifier %s is replaced by the search string, and is
# escaped so if it contains single quotes or other odd characters,
# it will not cause a parse error, or worse, a security problem.
# .IP "\fBselect_field\fR"
# The SQL "select" parameter. Example:
# .nf
# \fBselect_field\fR = forw_addr
# .fi
# .IP "\fBtable\fR"
# The SQL "select .. from" table name. Example:
# .nf
# \fBtable\fR = mxaliases
# .fi
# .IP "\fBwhere_field\fR
# The SQL "select .. where" parameter. Example:
# .nf
# \fBwhere_field\fR = alias
# .fi
# .IP "\fBadditional_conditions\fR
# Additional conditions to the SQL query. Example:
# .nf
# \fBadditional_conditions\fR = AND status = 'paid'
# .fi
