-GETTING ODBC STORAGE WITH POSTGRESQL WORKING WITH VOICEMAIL
-
-
-1) Install PostgreSQL, PostgreSQL-devel, unixODBC, and unixODBC-devel, and
-PostgreSQL-ODBC. Make sure PostgreSQL is listening on a TCP socket, and that
-you are using md5 authentication for the database user. The line in my
-pg_hba.conf looks like:
-
-# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
-local jsmith2 jsmith2 md5
-local all all ident sameuser
-# IPv4 local connections:
-host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
-
-
-2) Make sure you have the PostgreSQL odbc driver setup in /etc/odbcinst.ini.
-Mine looks like:
-
-[PostgreSQL]
-Description = ODBC for PostgreSQL
-Driver = /usr/lib/libodbcpsql.so
-Setup = /usr/lib/libodbcpsqlS.so
-FileUsage = 1
-
-You can confirm that unixODBC is seeing the driver by typing:
-
-[jsmith2@localhost tmp]$ odbcinst -q -d
-[PostgreSQL]
-
-
-3) Setup a DSN in /etc/odbc.ini, pointing at the PostgreSQL database and
-driver. Mine looks like:
-
-[testing]
-Description = ODBC Testing
-Driver = PostgreSQL
-Trace = No
-TraceFile = sql.log
-Database = jsmith2
-Servername = 127.0.0.1
-UserName = jsmith2
-Password = supersecret
-Port = 5432
-ReadOnly = No
-RowVersioning = No
-ShowSystemTables = No
-ShowOidColumn = No
-FakeOidIndex = No
-ConnSettings =
-
-You can confirm that unixODBC sees your DSN by typing:
-
-[jsmith2@localhost tmp]$ odbcinst -q -s
-[testing]
-
-
-4) Test your database connectivity through ODBC. If this doesn't work,
-something is wrong with your ODBC setup.
-
-[jsmith2@localhost tmp]$ echo "select 1" | isql -v testing
-+---------------------------------------+
-| Connected! |
-| |
-| sql-statement |
-| help [tablename] |
-| quit |
-| |
-+---------------------------------------+
-SQL> +------------+
-| ?column? |
-+------------+
-| 1 |
-+------------+
-SQLRowCount returns 1
-1 rows fetched
-
-If your ODBC connectivity to PostgreSQL isn't working, you'll see an error
-message instead, like this:
-
-[jsmith2@localhost tmp]$ echo "select 1" | isql -v testing
-[S1000][unixODBC]Could not connect to the server;
-Could not connect to remote socket.
-[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect
-bash: echo: write error: Broken pipe
-
-5) Compile Asterisk with support for ODBC voicemail. Go to your Asterisk
-source directory and run `make menuselect`. Under "Voicemail Build Options",
-enable "ODBC_STORAGE".
-# See doc/README.odbcstorage for more information
-
-Recompile Asterisk and install the new version.
-
-
-6) Once you've recompiled and re-installed Asterisk, check to make sure
-res_odbc.so has been compiled.
-
-localhost*CLI> show modules like res_odbc.so
-Module Description Use Count
-res_odbc.so ODBC Resource 0
-1 modules loaded
-
-
-7) Now it's time to get Asterisk configured. First, we need to tell Asterisk
-about our ODBC setup. Open /etc/asterisk/res_odbc.conf and add the following:
-
-[postgres]
-enabled => yes
-dsn => testing
-pre-connect => yes
-
-8) At the Asterisk CLI, unload and then load the res_odbc.so module. (You
-could restart Asterisk as well, but this way makes it easier to tell what's
-happening.) Notice how it says it's connected to "postgres", which is our ODBC
-connection as defined in res_odbc.conf, which points to the "testing" DSN in
-ODBC.
-
-localhost*CLI> unload res_odbc.so
-Jan 2 21:19:36 WARNING[8130]: res_odbc.c:498 odbc_obj_disconnect: res_odbc: disconnected 0 from postgres [testing]
-Jan 2 21:19:36 NOTICE[8130]: res_odbc.c:589 unload_module: res_odbc unloaded.

-Jan 2 21:19:40 NOTICE[8130]: res_odbc.c:600 load_module: res_odbc loaded.
-
-You can also check the status of your ODBC connection at any time from the
-Asterisk CLI:
-
-localhost*CLI> odbc show
-Name: postgres
-DSN: testing
-Connected: yes
-
-9) Now we can setup our voicemail table in PostgreSQL. Log into PostgreSQL and
-type (or copy and paste) the following:
-
---
--- First, let's create our large object type, called "lo"
---
-CREATE FUNCTION loin (cstring) RETURNS lo AS 'oidin' LANGUAGE internal IMMUTABLE STRICT;
-CREATE FUNCTION loout (lo) RETURNS cstring AS 'oidout' LANGUAGE internal IMMUTABLE STRICT;
-CREATE FUNCTION lorecv (internal) RETURNS lo AS 'oidrecv' LANGUAGE internal IMMUTABLE STRICT;
-CREATE FUNCTION losend (lo) RETURNS bytea AS 'oidrecv' LANGUAGE internal IMMUTABLE STRICT;
-
-CREATE TYPE lo ( INPUT = loin, OUTPUT = loout, RECEIVE = lorecv, SEND = losend, INTERNALLENGTH = 4, PASSEDBYVALUE );
-CREATE CAST (lo AS oid) WITHOUT FUNCTION AS IMPLICIT;
-CREATE CAST (oid AS lo) WITHOUT FUNCTION AS IMPLICIT;
-
---
--- If we're not already using plpgsql, then let's use it!
---
-CREATE TRUSTED LANGUAGE plpgsql;
-
---
--- Next, let's create a trigger to cleanup the large object table
--- whenever we update or delete a row from the voicemessages table
---
-
-CREATE FUNCTION vm_lo_cleanup() RETURNS "trigger"
- AS $$
- declare
- msgcount INTEGER;
- begin
- -- raise notice 'Starting lo_cleanup function for large object with oid %',old.recording;
- -- If it is an update action but the BLOB (lo) field was not changed, dont do anything
- if (TG_OP = 'UPDATE') then
- if ((old.recording = new.recording) or (old.recording is NULL)) then
- raise notice 'Not cleaning up the large object table, as recording has not changed';
- return new;
- end if;
- end if;
- if (old.recording IS NOT NULL) then
- SELECT INTO msgcount COUNT(*) AS COUNT FROM voicemessages WHERE recording = old.recording;
- if (msgcount > 0) then
- raise notice 'Not deleting record from the large object table, as object is still referenced';
- return new;
- else
- perform lo_unlink(old.recording);
- if found then
- raise notice 'Cleaning up the large object table';
- return new;
- else
- raise exception 'Failed to cleanup the large object table';
- return old;
- end if;
- end if;
- else
- raise notice 'No need to cleanup the large object table, no recording on old row';
- return new;
- end if;
- end$$
- LANGUAGE plpgsql;
-
---
--- Now, let's create our voicemessages table
--- This is what holds the voicemail from Asterisk
---
-
-CREATE TABLE voicemessages
-(
- uniqueid serial PRIMARY KEY,
- msgnum int4,
- dir varchar(80),
- context varchar(80),
- macrocontext varchar(80),
- callerid varchar(40),
- origtime varchar(40),
- duration varchar(20),
- mailboxuser varchar(80),
- mailboxcontext varchar(80),
- recording lo,
- label varchar(30),
- "read" bool DEFAULT false
-);
-
---
--- Let's not forget to make the voicemessages table use the trigger
---
-
-CREATE TRIGGER vm_cleanup AFTER DELETE OR UPDATE ON voicemessages FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE vm_lo_cleanup();
-
-
-10) Just as a sanity check, make sure you check the voicemessages table via the
-isql utility.
-
-[jsmith2@localhost ODBC]$ echo "SELECT id, msgnum, dir, duration FROM voicemessages WHERE msgnum = 1" | isql testing
-+---------------------------------------+
-| Connected! |
-| |
-| sql-statement |
-| help [tablename] |
-| quit |
-| |
-+---------------------------------------+
-SQL> +------------+------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+
-| id | msgnum | dir | duration |
-+------------+------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+
-+------------+------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+
-SQLRowCount returns 0
-
-
-11) Now we can finally configure voicemail in Asterisk to use our database.
-Open /etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf, and look in the [general] section. I've
-changed the format to gsm (as I can't seem to get WAV or wav working), and
-specify both the odbc connection and database table to use.
-
-[general]
-; Default formats for writing Voicemail
-;format=g723sf|wav49|wav
-format=gsm
-odbcstorage=postgres
-odbctable=voicemessages
-
-You'll also want to create a new voicemail context called "odbctest" to do some
-testing, and create a sample mailbox inside that context. Add the following to
-the very bottom of voicemail.conf:
-
-[odbctest]
-101 => 5555,Example Mailbox
-
-
-12) Once you've updated voicemail.conf, let's make the changes take effect:
-
-localhost*CLI> unload app_voicemail.so
- == Unregistered application 'VoiceMail'
- == Unregistered application 'VoiceMailMain'
- == Unregistered application 'MailboxExists'
- == Unregistered application 'VMAuthenticate'
-localhost*CLI> load app_voicemail.so
- Loaded /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/app_voicemail.so => (Comedian Mail (Voicemail System))
- == Registered application 'VoiceMail'
- == Registered application 'VoiceMailMain'
- == Registered application 'MailboxExists'
- == Registered application 'VMAuthenticate'
- == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf': Found
-
-You can check to make sure your new mailbox exists by typing:
-
-localhost*CLI> show voicemail users for odbctest
-Context Mbox User Zone NewMsg
-odbctest 101 Example Mailbox 0
-
-
-13) Now, let's add a new context called "odbc" to extensions.conf. We'll use
-these extensions to do some testing:
-
-[odbc]
-exten => 100,1,Voicemail(101@odbctest)
-exten => 200,1,VoicemailMain(101@odbctest)
-
-
-14) Next, we need to point a phone at the odbc context. In my case, I've got a
-SIP phone called "linksys" that is registering to Asterisk, so I'm setting its
-context to the [odbc] context we created in the previous step. The relevant
-section of my sip.conf file looks like:
-
-[linksys]
-type=friend
-secret=verysecret
-disallow=all
-allow=ulaw
-allow=gsm
-context=odbc
-host=dynamic
-qualify=yes
-
-I can check to see that my linksys phone is registered with Asterisk correctly:
-
-localhost*CLI> sip show peers like linksys
-Name/username Host Dyn Nat ACL Port Status
-linksys/linksys 192.168.0.103 D 5060 OK (9 ms)
-1 sip peers [1 online , 0 offline]
-
-
-15) At last, we're finally ready to leave a voicemail message and have it
-stored in our database! (Who'd have guessed it would be this much trouble?!?)
-Pick up the phone, dial extension 100, and leave yourself a voicemail message.
-In my case, this is what appeared on the Asterisk CLI:
-
-localhost*CLI>
- -- Executing VoiceMail("SIP/linksys-10228cac", "101@odbctest") in new stack
- -- Playing 'vm-intro' (language 'en')
- -- Playing 'beep' (language 'en')
- -- Recording the message
- -- x=0, open writing: /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/odbctest/101/tmp/dlZunm format: gsm, 0x101f6534
- -- User ended message by pressing #
- -- Playing 'auth-thankyou' (language 'en')
- == Parsing '/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/odbctest/101/INBOX/msg0000.txt': Found
-
-Now, we can check the database and make sure the record actually made it into
-PostgreSQL, from within the psql utility.
-
-[jsmith2@localhost ~]$ psql
-Password:
-Welcome to psql 8.1.4, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
-
-Type: \copyright for distribution terms
- \h for help with SQL commands
- \? for help with psql commands
- \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
- \q to quit
-
-jsmith2=# SELECT * FROM voicemessages;
- id | msgnum | dir | context | macrocontext | callerid | origtime | duration | mailboxuser | mailboxcontext | recording | label | read | sip_id | pabx_id | iax_id
-----+--------+--------------------------------------------------+---------+--------------+-----------------------+------------+----------+-------------+----------------+-----------+-------+------+--------+---------+--------
- 26 | 0 | /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/odbctest/101/INBOX | odbc | | "linksys" <linksys> | 1167794179 | 7 | 101 | odbctest | 16599 | | f | | |
-(1 row)
-
-Did you notice the the recording column is just a number? When a recording
-gets stuck in the database, the audio isn't actually stored in the
-voicemessages table. It's stored in a system table called the large object
-table. We can look in the large object table and verify that the object
-actually exists there:
-
-jsmith2=# \lo_list
- Large objects
- ID | Description
--------+-------------
- 16599 |
-(1 row)
-
-In my case, the OID is 16599. Your OID will almost surely be different. Just
-make sure the OID number in the recording column in the voicemessages table
-corresponds with a record in the large object table. (The trigger we added to
-our voicemessages table was designed to make sure this is always the case.)
-
-We can also pull a copy of the voicemail message back out of the database and
-write it to a file, to help us as we debug things:
-
-jsmith2=# \lo_export 16599 /tmp/odcb-16599.gsm
-lo_export
-
-We can even listen to the file from the Linux command line:
-
-[jsmith2@localhost tmp]$ play /tmp/odcb-16599.gsm
-
-Input Filename : /tmp/odcb-16599.gsm
-Sample Size : 8-bits
-Sample Encoding: gsm
-Channels : 1
-Sample Rate : 8000
-
-Time: 00:06.22 [00:00.00] of 00:00.00 ( 0.0%) Output Buffer: 298.36K
-
-Done.
-
-
-16) Last but not least, we can pull the voicemail message back out of the
-database by dialing extension 200 and entering "5555" at the password prompt.
-You should see something like this on the Asterisk CLI:
-
-localhost*CLI>
- -- Executing VoiceMailMain("SIP/linksys-10228cac", "101@odbctest") in new stack
- -- Playing 'vm-password' (language 'en')

-That's it!
