# NAME
#       pgsql_table 5
# SUMMARY
#       Postfix PostgreSQL client configuration
# SYNOPSIS
#       \fBpostmap -q "\fIstring\fB" pgsql:/etc/postfix/filename\fR
#
#       \fBpostmap -q - pgsql:/etc/postfix/\fIfilename\fR <\fIinputfile\fR
# DESCRIPTION
#       The Postfix mail system uses optional tables for address
#       rewriting or mail routing. These tables are usually in
#       \fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format.
#
#       Alternatively, lookup tables can be specified as PostgreSQL
#       databases.  In order to use PostgreSQL lookups, define a
#       PostgreSQL source as a lookup table in main.cf, for example:
# .nf
#           alias_maps = pgsql:/etc/pgsql-aliases.cf
# .fi
#
#       The file /etc/postfix/pgsql-aliases.cf has the same format as
#       the Postfix main.cf file, and can specify the parameters
#       described below.
# BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY
# .ad
# .fi
#       For compatibility with other Postfix lookup tables, PostgreSQL
#       parameters can also be defined in main.cf.  In order to do
#       that, specify as PostgreSQL source a name that doesn't begin
#       with a slash or a dot.  The PostgreSQL parameters will then
#       be accessible as the name you've given the source in its
#       definition, an underscore, and the name of the parameter.  For
#       example, if the map is specified as "pgsql:\fIpgsqlname\fR",
#       the parameter "hosts" below would be defined in main.cf as
#       "\fIpgsqlname\fR_hosts".
#
#       Note: with this form, the passwords for the PostgreSQL sources
#       are written in main.cf, which is normally world-readable.
#       Support for this form will be removed in a future Postfix
#       version.
#
#       Postfix 2.2 has enhanced query interfaces for MySQL and PostgreSQL,
#       these include features previously available only in the Postfix
#       LDAP client. In the new interface the SQL query is specified via
#       a single \fBquery\fR parameter (described in more detail below).
#       In Postfix 2.1 the parameter precedence was, from highest to lowest,
#       \fBselect_function\fR, \fBquery\fR and finally \fBselect_field\fR, ...
#
#       With Postfix 2.2 the \fBquery\fR parameter has highest precedence,
#       and is used in preference to the still supported, but slated to be
#       phased out, \fBselect_function\fR, \fBselect_field\fR, \fBtable\fR,
#       \fBwhere_field\fR and \fBadditional_conditions\fR parameters. To
#       migrate to the new interface set:
#
# .nf
#           \fBquery\fR = SELECT \fIselect_function\fR('%s')
# .fi
#
#       or in the absence of \fBselect_function\fR, the lower precedence:
#
# .nf
#           \fBquery\fR = SELECT \fIselect_field\fR
#               FROM \fItable\fR
#               WHERE \fIwhere_field\fR = '%s'
#                   \fIadditional_conditions\fR
# .fi
#
#       Use the value, not the name, of each legacy parameter. Note
#       that the \fBadditional_conditions\fR parameter is optional
#       and if not empty, will always start with \fBAND\fR.
# LIST MEMBERSHIP
# .ad
# .fi
#       When using SQL to store lists such as $mynetworks,
#       $mydestination, $relay_domains, $local_recipient_maps,
#       etc., it is important to understand that the table must
#       store each list member as a separate key. The table lookup
#       verifies the *existence* of the key. See "Postfix lists
#       versus tables" in the DATABASE_README document for a
#       discussion.
#
#       Do NOT create tables that return the full list of domains
#       in $mydestination or $relay_domains etc., or IP addresses
#       in $mynetworks.
#
#       DO create tables with each matching item as a key and with
#       an arbitrary value. With SQL databases it is not uncommon to
#       return the key itself or a constant value.
# PGSQL PARAMETERS
# .ad
# .fi
# .IP "\fBhosts\fR"
#       The hosts that Postfix will try to connect to and query from.
#       Specify \fIunix:\fR for UNIX-domain sockets, \fIinet:\fR for TCP
#       connections (default).  Example:
# .nf
#           hosts = host1.some.domain host2.some.domain
#           hosts = unix:/file/name
# .fi
#
#       The hosts are tried in random order, with all connections over
#       UNIX domain sockets being tried before those over TCP.  The
#       connections are automatically closed after being idle for about
#       1 minute, and are re-opened as necessary.
#
#       NOTE: the \fIunix:\fR and \fIinet:\fR prefixes are accepted for
#       backwards compatibility reasons, but are actually ignored.
#       The PostgreSQL client library will always try to connect to an
#       UNIX socket if the name starts with a slash, and will try a TCP
#       connection otherwise.
# .IP "\fBuser, password\fR"
#       The user name and password to log into the pgsql server.
#       Example:
# .nf
#           user = someone
#           password = some_password
# .fi
# .IP "\fBdbname\fR"
#       The database name on the servers. Example:
# .nf
#           dbname = customer_database
# .fi
# .IP "\fBquery\fR"
#       The SQL query template used to search the database, where \fB%s\fR
#       is a substitute for the address Postfix is trying to resolve,
#       e.g.
# .nf
#           query = SELECT replacement FROM aliases WHERE mailbox = '%s'
# .fi
#
#       This parameter supports the following '%' expansions:
# .RS
# .IP "\fB\fB%%\fR\fR"
#       This is replaced by a literal '%' character. (Postfix 2.2 and later)
# .IP "\fB\fB%s\fR\fR"
#       This is replaced by the input key.
#       SQL quoting is used to make sure that the input key does not
#       add unexpected metacharacters.
# .IP "\fB\fB%u\fR\fR"
#       When the input key is an address of the form user@domain, \fB%u\fR
#       is replaced by the SQL quoted local part of the address.
#       Otherwise, \fB%u\fR is replaced by the entire search string.
#       If the localpart is empty, the query is suppressed and returns
#       no results.
# .IP "\fB\fB%d\fR\fR"
#       When the input key is an address of the form user@domain, \fB%d\fR
#       is replaced by the SQL quoted domain part of the address.
#       Otherwise, the query is suppressed and returns no results.
# .IP "\fB\fB%[SUD]\fR\fR"
#       The upper-case equivalents of the above expansions behave in the
#       \fBquery\fR parameter identically to their lower-case counter-parts.
#       With the \fBresult_format\fR parameter (see below), they expand the
#       input key rather than the result value.
# .IP
#       The above %S, %U and %D expansions are available with Postfix 2.2
#       and later
# .IP "\fB\fB%[1-9]\fR\fR"
#       The patterns %1, %2, ... %9 are replaced by the corresponding
#       most significant component of the input key's domain. If the
#       input key is \fIuser@mail.example.com\fR, then %1 is \fBcom\fR,
#       %2 is \fBexample\fR and %3 is \fBmail\fR. If the input key is
#       unqualified or does not have enough domain components to satisfy
#       all the specified patterns, the query is suppressed and returns
#       no results.
# .IP
#       The above %1, ... %9 expansions are available with Postfix 2.2
#       and later
# .RE
# .IP
#       The \fBdomain\fR parameter described below limits the input
#       keys to addresses in matching domains. When the \fBdomain\fR
#       parameter is non-empty, SQL queries for unqualified addresses
#       or addresses in non-matching domains are suppressed
#       and return no results.
#
#       The precedence of this parameter has changed with Postfix 2.2,
#       in prior releases the precedence was, from highest to lowest,
#       \fBselect_function\fR, \fBquery\fR, \fBselect_field\fR, ...
#
#       With Postfix 2.2 the \fBquery\fR parameter has highest precedence,
#       see COMPATIBILITY above.
#
#       NOTE: DO NOT put quotes around the \fBquery\fR parameter.
# .IP "\fBresult_format (default: \fB%s\fR)\fR"
#       Format template applied to result attributes. Most commonly used
#       to append (or prepend) text to the result. This parameter supports
#       the following '%' expansions:
# .RS
# .IP "\fB\fB%%\fR\fR"
#       This is replaced by a literal '%' character.
# .IP "\fB\fB%s\fR\fR"
#       This is replaced by the value of the result attribute. When
#       result is empty it is skipped.
# .IP "\fB%u\fR
#       When the result attribute value is an address of the form
#       user@domain, \fB%u\fR is replaced by the local part of the
#       address. When the result has an empty localpart it is skipped.
# .IP "\fB\fB%d\fR\fR"
#       When a result attribute value is an address of the form
#       user@domain, \fB%d\fR is replaced by the domain part of
#       the attribute value. When the result is unqualified it
#       is skipped.
# .IP "\fB\fB%[SUD1-9]\fR\fB"
#       The upper-case and decimal digit expansions interpolate
#       the parts of the input key rather than the result. Their
#       behavior is identical to that described with \fBquery\fR,
#       and in fact because the input key is known in advance, queries
#       whose key does not contain all the information specified in
#       the result template are suppressed and return no results.
# .RE
# .IP
#       For example, using "result_format = smtp:[%s]" allows one
#       to use a mailHost attribute as the basis of a transport(5)
#       table. After applying the result format, multiple values
#       are concatenated as comma separated strings. The expansion_limit
#       and parameter explained below allows one to restrict the number
#       of values in the result, which is especially useful for maps that
#       must return at most one value.
#
#       The default value \fB%s\fR specifies that each result value should
#       be used as is.
#
#       This parameter is available with Postfix 2.2 and later.
#
#       NOTE: DO NOT put quotes around the result format!
# .IP "\fBdomain (default: no domain list)\fR"
#       This is a list of domain names, paths to files, or
#       dictionaries. When specified, only fully qualified search
#       keys with a *non-empty* localpart and a matching domain
#       are eligible for lookup: 'user' lookups, bare domain lookups
#       and "@domain" lookups are not performed. This can significantly
#       reduce the query load on the PostgreSQL server.
# .nf
#           domain = postfix.org, hash:/etc/postfix/searchdomains
# .fi
#
#       It is best not to use SQL to store the domains eligible
#       for SQL lookups.
#
#       This parameter is available with Postfix 2.2 and later.
#
#       NOTE: DO NOT define this parameter for local(8) aliases,
#       because the input keys are always unqualified.
# .IP "\fBexpansion_limit (default: 0)\fR"
#     A limit on the total number of result elements returned
#     (as a comma separated list) by a lookup against the map.
#     A setting of zero disables the limit. Lookups fail with a
#     temporary error if the limit is exceeded.  Setting the
#     limit to 1 ensures that lookups do not return multiple
#     values.
# OBSOLETE QUERY INTERFACES
# .ad
# .fi
#       This section describes query interfaces that are deprecated
#       as of Postfix 2.2.  Please migrate to the new \fBquery\fR
#       interface as the old interfaces are slated to be phased
#       out.
# .IP "\fBselect_function\fR"
#       This parameter specifies a database function name. Example:
# .nf
#           select_function = my_lookup_user_alias
# .fi
#
#       This is equivalent to:
# .nf
#           query = SELECT my_lookup_user_alias('%s')
# .fi
#
#       This parameter overrides the legacy table-related fields (described
#       below). With Postfix versions prior to 2.2, it also overrides the
#       \fBquery\fR parameter. Starting with Postfix 2.2, the \fBquery\fR
#       parameter has highest precedence, and the \fBselect_function\fR
#       parameter is deprecated.
# .PP
#       The following parameters (with lower precedence than the
#       \fBselect_function\fR interface described above) can be used to
#       build the SQL select statement as follows:
#
# .nf
#           SELECT [\fBselect_field\fR]
#           FROM [\fBtable\fR]
#           WHERE [\fBwhere_field\fR] = '%s'
#                 [\fBadditional_conditions\fR]
# .fi
#
#       The specifier %s is replaced with each lookup by the lookup key
#       and is escaped so if it contains single quotes or other odd
#       characters, it will not cause a parse error, or worse, a security
#       problem.
#
#       Starting with Postfix 2.2, this interface is obsoleted by the more
#       general \fBquery\fR interface described above. If higher precedence
#       the \fBquery\fR or \fBselect_function\fR parameters described above
#       are defined, the parameters described here are ignored.
# .IP "\fBselect_field\fR"
#       The SQL "select" parameter. Example:
# .nf
#           \fBselect_field\fR = forw_addr
# .fi
# .IP "\fBtable\fR"
#       The SQL "select .. from" table name. Example:
# .nf
#           \fBtable\fR = mxaliases
# .fi
# .IP "\fBwhere_field\fR
#       The SQL "select .. where" parameter. Example:
# .nf
#           \fBwhere_field\fR = alias
# .fi
# .IP "\fBadditional_conditions\fR
#       Additional conditions to the SQL query. Example:
# .nf
#           \fBadditional_conditions\fR = AND status = 'paid'
# .fi
