TABLES¶
Added in version 1.37.1.
You can customize name of all tables in the [tables] <#section-[tables]>. The SQL queries will reflect this, so it's enough to change table name in this section.
- gammu
- Name of the gammu <#gammu-table> table.
- inbox
- Name of the inbox <#inbox> table.
- sentitems
- Name of the sentitems <#sentitems> table.
- outbox
- Name of the outbox <#outbox> table.
- outbox_multipart
- Name of the outbox_multipart <#outbox-multipart> table.
- phones
- Name of the phones <#phones> table.
You can change any table name using these:
[tables] inbox = special_inbox
SQL QUERIES¶
Almost all queries are configurable. You can edit them in [sql] <#section-[sql]> section. There are several variables used in SQL queries. We can separate them into three groups:
- phone specific, which can be used in every query, see Phone Specific Parameters

CONFIGURABLE QUERIES¶
All configurable queries can be set in [sql] <#section-[sql]> section. Sequence of rows in selects are mandatory.
All default queries noted here are noted for MySQL. Actual time and time addition are selected for default queries during initialization.
- insert_phone
- Inserts phone to database.
Default value:
INSERT INTO phones (IMEI, IMSI, ID, NetCode, NetName, Send, Receive,
InsertIntoDB, TimeOut, Client, Battery, Signal) VALUES (%I, %S, %P, %O, %M, %1, %2, NOW(),
(NOW() + INTERVAL 70 SECOND) + 0, %N, -1, -1)
The shown 70-second expiry uses the default 60-second StatusFrequency <#option-StatusFrequency> plus a ten-second grace period. The generated default query follows the configured frequency. Custom queries should provide an equivalent expiry interval.
Query specific parameters:
- %1
- enable send (yes or no) - configuration option Send
- %2
- enable receive (yes or no) - configuration option Receive
- save_inbox_sms_select
- Select message for update delivery status.
Default value:
SELECT ID, Status, SendingDateTime, DeliveryDateTime, SMSCNumber FROM sentitems WHERE DeliveryDateTime IS NULL AND SenderID = %P AND TPMR = %t AND DestinationNumber = %R
- save_inbox_sms_update_delivered
- Update message delivery status if message was delivered.
Default value:
UPDATE sentitems SET DeliveryDateTime = %C, Status = %1, StatusError = %e WHERE ID = %2 AND TPMR = %t
Query specific parameters:
- %1
- delivery status returned by GSM network
- %2
- ID of message
- save_inbox_sms_update
- Update message if there is an delivery error.
Default value:
UPDATE sentitems SET Status = %1, StatusError = %e WHERE ID = %2 AND TPMR = %t
Query specific parameters:
- %1
- delivery status returned by GSM network
- %2
- ID of message
- save_inbox_sms_insert
- Insert received message.
Default value:
INSERT INTO inbox (ReceivingDateTime, InsertIntoDB, Text, SenderNumber, Coding, SMSCNumber, UDH, Class, TextDecoded, RecipientID, Status, MessageID, SequencePosition, PartCount, Processed) VALUES (%d, NOW(), %E, %R, %c, %F, %u, %x, %T, %P, %e, %1, %2, %3, %4)
Query specific parameters:
- %1
- logical message identifier, or 0 until the first physical row ID is known
- %2
- sequence position of this physical part
- %3
- expected number of physical parts
- %4
- initial processed state; received rows are staged as processed until their logical message identifier is finalized
Custom queries must store the database server's current timestamp in InsertIntoDB so incomplete multipart groups can be restored without extending their original timeout.
- save_inbox_sms_update_metadata
- Finalize the logical message identifier and multipart metadata, then
publish the received physical message to inbox consumers.
Default value:
UPDATE inbox SET MessageID = %1, SequencePosition = %2, PartCount = %3, Processed = %5 WHERE ID = %4
Query specific parameters:
- %1
- ID of the first stored physical part of the logical message
- %2
- sequence position of this physical part
- %3
- expected number of physical parts
- %4
- ID of this physical part
- %5
- final processed state; false publishes the completed row
- restore_inbox_groups
- Restore incomplete multipart groups after SMSD restarts. The default query
selects recently inserted multipart rows for the current phone, including
earlier rows sharing their logical message identifier. SMSD discards
complete and expired groups after reading the result.
The selected columns must remain in the documented order. The final column is the row age in seconds, calculated by the database so that restoration does not depend on the SMSD host and database server sharing a timezone.
Default value:
SELECT MessageID, SenderNumber, SMSCNumber, UDH, SequencePosition, PartCount, TIMESTAMPDIFF(SECOND, InsertIntoDB, NOW()) FROM inbox WHERE PartCount > 1 AND RecipientID = %P AND MessageID IN (SELECT MessageID FROM inbox WHERE PartCount > 1 AND RecipientID = %P AND InsertIntoDB >= NOW() - INTERVAL 600 SECOND) ORDER BY InsertIntoDB ASC, ID ASC
- update_received
- Update statistics after receiving message.
Default value:
UPDATE phones SET Received = Received + 1 WHERE IMEI = %I
- refresh_send_status
- Update messages in outbox.
Default value:
UPDATE outbox SET SendingTimeOut = (NOW() + INTERVAL 60 SECOND) + 0 WHERE ID = %1 AND (SendingTimeOut < NOW() OR SendingTimeOut IS NULL)
The default query calculates sending timeout based on LoopSleep <#option-LoopSleep> value.
Query specific parameters:
- %1
- ID of message
- find_outbox_sms_id
- Find sms messages for sending.
Default value:
SELECT ID, InsertIntoDB, SendingDateTime, SenderID FROM outbox WHERE SendingDateTime < NOW() AND SendingTimeOut < NOW() AND SendBefore >= CURTIME() AND SendAfter <= CURTIME() AND (SendDays & %2) <> 0 AND ( SenderID is NULL OR SenderID = '' OR SenderID = %P ) ORDER BY Priority DESC, InsertIntoDB ASC LIMIT %1
Query specific parameters:
- %1
- limit of sms messages sended in one walk in loop
- %2
- bit mask for the current weekday in the SMSD process local timezone, using Monday as 1 through Sunday as 64
Custom queries need to use %2 to enforce the outbox <#outbox> SendDays restriction. The default bitwise expression is adapted to the configured SQL dialect.
- find_outbox_body
- Select body of message.
Default value:
SELECT Text, Coding, UDH, Class, TextDecoded, ID, DestinationNumber, MultiPart, RelativeValidity, DeliveryReport, CreatorID FROM outbox WHERE ID=%1
Query specific parameters:
- %1
- ID of message
- find_outbox_multipart
- Select remaining parts of sms message.

SELECT Text, Coding, UDH, Class, TextDecoded, ID, SequencePosition FROM outbox_multipart WHERE ID=%1 AND SequencePosition=%2
Query specific parameters:
- %1
- ID of message
- %2
- Number of multipart message
- find_sent_item
- Find an existing sent message before transmission. SMSD uses this to
reconcile messages which were written to sentitems but not removed
from outbox, for example when the daemon stopped between these two
operations.
The selected columns and their order are mandatory. SMSD compares the stored message identity and payload with the outbox message. A matching successfully sent message is skipped; a different message using the same ID is left in the outbox and reported as a conflict.
