I am using openser with mysql as db. There is a tool call openserctl to manage the data in the openser. I wonder whether I can direct manipulate the db directly without using openserctl. I have tried to insert a record in the aliases table directly using mysql client but it doesn't work. Can I conclude direct manipulate the DB is impossible?
It depends on the table! There are some tables which will be cached inside openser, e.g: location aliases domain gw (lcr module)
If you make changes to location/aliases you have to: - restart openser to reload the tables or - use openserctl (inserts via FIFO to openser which wirtes back to the db or - in case of aliases use the aliases_DB module
for the domain and gw table, you can use the respectife FIfo commands to reload the tables.
