Some questions and suggestions
|
|
Hello
At first:
i digged the source and found the following in <dbmysql.c>:
u64_t db_insert_message (u64_t useridnr, const char *deliver_to_mailbox,
const char *uniqueid)
{
...
time(&td); /* get time */
tm = *localtime(&td); /* get components */
strftime(timestr, sizeof(timestr), "%G-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", &tm);
snprintf (query, DEF_QUERYSIZE,"INSERT INTO messages(mailbox_idnr,messagesize,unique_id,"
"internal_date,recent_flag,status)"
" VALUES (%llu, 0, \"%s\", \"%s\", 1, '005')",
deliver_to_mailbox ? db_get_mailboxid(useridnr, deliver_to_mailbox) :
db_get_mailboxid (useridnr, "INBOX"),
uniqueid ? uniqueid : "", timestr);
...
}
wouldn't be easier/better to use the NOW() function in MySQL.
And second:
It wold be great to have some description for fields in database. It would
allow many developers [like me] to write custom applications.
I imagine that there could be some file like 'database_layout.txt' in
distribution, there are description of tables and fields, with simple
examples. When someone changes database structure [adds some fields], he
write a patch for description too.
I could write document like this if you help me with some things.
Right now i'm guessing the meaning of fields in table [messages] ;-)
| message_idnr | The unique message ID, must be the same for each two records in [messageblks]
| mailbox_idnr | The ID of the IMAP folder, where message are.
| messagesize | message size in bytes, i guess
| seen_flag | 1 if message is seen, 0 if not.
| answered_flag | 1 if answered, 0 if not
| deleted_flag | 1 if deleted, 0 if not
| flagged_flag | no ideas?
| recent_flag | ?
| draft_flag | message is draft
| unique_id | as i saw in code, this cold be "", but what is it?
| internal_date | date and time of receiving.
| status | no ideas?
| rfcsize | some size, but what's the difference between this and [messagesize]?
Could anyone send me this info please?
