Subscriptions

This module permit to configure the database account name and queries used to retrieve and update users' roster.
You can use database stored procedures to make sure that the update is done for the existing rows that were already added.

Note: All database queries are done in PostgreSQL.

Example create tables

CREATE TABLE users (
    username text NOT NULL,
    password text,
);

CREATE TABLE roster (
      username text NOT NULL,
      contact text NOT NULL,
      subscription text,
      name text,
      groups text
);

CREATE TABLE subscriptions (
      notifier text NOT NULL,
      event text NOT NULL,
      subscriber text
);

Example for stored procedures

subscription_set

Used to add or update a roster item subscription. Return values will be the added/updated row.

CREATE FUNCTION subscription_set(text, text, text) RETURNS text
    AS $_$
DECLARE
    _username ALIAS FOR $1;
    _contact ALIAS FOR $2;
    _sub ALIAS FOR $3;
    data record;
BEGIN
    SELECT INTO data * FROM roster WHERE username=_username AND contact=_contact;
    IF not found THEN
        INSERT INTO roster (username,contact,subscription) VALUES (_username,_contact,_sub);
    ELSE
        UPDATE roster SET subscription=_sub WHERE username=_username AND contact=_contact;
    END IF;
    return \'\'\'\';
END;
$_$
    LANGUAGE plpgsql;

roster_set

Used to add or update a roster item. Returns added/updated row.

CREATE FUNCTION roster_set(text, text, text, text) RETURNS SETOF record
   AS $_$
DECLARE
    _username ALIAS FOR $1;
    _contact ALIAS FOR $2;
    _name ALIAS FOR $3;
    _groups ALIAS FOR $4;
    data record;
BEGIN
    SELECT INTO data * FROM roster WHERE username=_username AND contact=_contact;
    IF not found THEN
        INSERT INTO roster (username,contact,name,groups) VALUES (_username,_contact,_name,_groups);
    ELSE
        UPDATE roster SET name=_name, groups=_groups WHERE username=_username AND contact=_contact;
    END IF;
    SELECT INTO data username,contact,name,groups FROM roster WHERE username=_username AND contact=_contact;
    return next data;
    return;
END;
$_$
   LANGUAGE plpgsql;

roster_set_full

Used to fully add or update a roster item (including subscription). Return added/updated row.

CREATE FUNCTION roster_set_full(text, text, text, text, text) RETURNS SETOF record
    AS $_$
DECLARE
    _username ALIAS FOR $1;
    _contact ALIAS FOR $2;
    _name ALIAS FOR $3;
    _groups ALIAS FOR $4;
    _sub ALIAS FOR $5;
    data record;
BEGIN
    SELECT INTO data * FROM roster WHERE username=_username AND contact=_contact;
    IF not found THEN
       INSERT INTO roster (username,contact,name,groups,subscription) VALUES (_username,_contact,_name,_groups,_sub);
   ELSE
       UPDATE roster SET name=_name, groups=_groups, subscription=_sub WHERE username=_username AND contact=_contact;
