Chapter 1. Admin Guide

1.1. Overview

   This module is an implementation of a cache system designed to
   work with a regular SQL-based server. It uses the internal DB
   interface to connect to the back-end, and also implements the
   Key-Value interface exported from the core.

1.2. Advantages

     * memory costs are no longer on the server
     * the cache is 100% persistent. A restart of OpenSIPS server
       will not affect the DB. The DB is also persistent so it can
       also be restarted without loss of information.
     * Multiple OpenSIPS instances can easily share key-value
       information via a regular SQL-based database

1.3. Limitations

     * The module's counter operations ( ADD and SUB ) are
       currently only supported by MySQL

1.4. Dependencies

1.4.1. OpenSIPS Modules

   None.

1.4.2. External Libraries or Applications

   The following libraries or applications must be installed
   before running OpenSIPS with this module loaded:
     * none:

1.5. Exported Parameters
