# 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.
# 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 MAIN.CF PARAMETERS
# .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"
#	would be defined in main.cf as "\fIsqlitename\fR_query".
# 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
