# afsql \[1]

### Status

| Architecture | Status |
| :----------: | :----: |
|      x86     |  Works |
|      ARM     |  Works |

### Dependencies

This driver has multilevel dependencies. To compile the driver needs the libdbi and libdbi-drivers packages, which are supported and updated in the OSE forks,`and`should work nicely both on ARM and X86 macOS systems now (tested on macOS 13.3.1 and 12.6.4)

Please do not use the pre-built ones (e.g. 0.9.0 from Homebrew), build from the **master** of the following

* <https://github.com/balabit-deps/libdbi-drivers>
* <https://github.com/balabit-deps/libdbi>

To use any specific database system you need the corresponding supporting system-specific packages as well.&#x20;

Currently, the following databases are supported and tested

<table><thead><tr><th width="178" align="center">Type</th><th width="271">Install</th><th width="156" align="center">Architecture</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td align="center">sqlite(3)</td><td>brew install sqlite</td><td align="center">x86/ARM</td></tr><tr><td align="center">PostgreSQL</td><td>brew install postgresql</td><td align="center">x86/ARM</td></tr><tr><td align="center">mySQL</td><td>brew install mysql</td><td align="center">x86/ARM</td></tr><tr><td align="center">Oracle</td><td><a href="https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/instant-client/macos-intel-x86-downloads.html">Instant Client Download</a> </td><td align="center">x86</td></tr></tbody></table>

### Testing

Configuration file used

```
@version: 4.2
@include "scl.conf"


source s_local0 {
    example-msg-generator(
        num(50)
        freq(1)
        template("Random Message")
    );
};

destination d_sql0 {
	sql(
		type(sqlite3) 
		database("test_db")
		table("msgs_${R_YEAR}${R_MONTH}${R_DAY}") 
		columns("datetime varchar (26)", "host varchar(32)",
				"program varchar(32)", "pid varchar(8)", "message varchar(4096)")
		values("${R_DATE}", "${HOST}", "${PROGRAM}", "${PID}", "${MSGONLY}")
		indexes("datetime", "host", "program", "pid")
	);
};

destination d_sql1 {
	sql(
		type(mysql) 
		host("your_host") port("3306")
		username("test_user") password("your_pass")

		indexes("datetime", "host", "program", "pid")

		quote_char("``")
	);
};

# DO NOT FORGET, no ARM64 Oracle OCCI Client !!!
