The communications database

Communications settings are held in the form of individual tables within a single database managed by CommDb. The classes provided by CommDb use DBMS in their implementation and it is DBMS which provides the underlying behaviour for handling the database itself. In effect, CommDb is a layer over DBMS.

The tables are as follows:

Version 6.0 compatibility

Version 6.0 of CommDb allowed clients the option of two different database structures: termed IAP- and ISP-type databases respectively. IAP (Internet Access Point)-type databases provides an IAP table that allows an ISP record and a chargecard to be identified as a group. An ISP-type database does not have an IAP table, but is otherwise identical.

Despite the table changes between Versions 6.0 and 6.1, the CommDb API still supports clients written to use Version 6.0. In particular, note the following:
