7.3 sql Accounting

The sql accounting method is enabled when Radius is configured with ‘--enable-sql’ option and the ‘sqlserver’ file in its configuration directory is properly set up (see section SQL Configuration — ‘raddb/sqlserver’).

This version of GNU Radius (1.6) supports MySQL and PostgreSQL servers. It also supports odbc, which can be used to build interfaces to another database management systems.

With this accounting method enabled, radiusd will store the information about accounting requests in the configured sql database. The accounting method is fully configurable: the Radius administrator defines both the types of requests to be accounted and the information to be stored into the database (see section SQL Configuration — ‘raddb/sqlserver’).
