Subject: Wildfire server - database tables
Hi.
I'm not sure this is the right place to ask, so if I'm wrong, please direct me to the right place!
Having done a fresh install of Wildfire server, I went for the SQL Server database option this time, and followed the instructions.
It went fine, and now I can see a nicely exposed database structure for Wildfire's IM workings. I wondered if, in addition to the XMPP functions, I might try reading/writing direct to some of these db tables. (For example as a quick way of changing a users status, amending user data, etc). This way I could incorporate IM into things like db stored procedures, which would be very useful indeed.
Is such a thing (a) allowed, (b) reccomended?
Or are we not supposed to go direct to the database?
Thanks,
Owen
