It is direct integration of the chat server and the user database, through JDBC driver, which is abbreviation of Java DataBase Connectivity standard.
This way is for advanced user who not only understands how to connect database using JDBC driver, but also is capable of performance tuning to handle high traffic.
Configuration:
Firstly you need to check the existing database of your website, then configure the corresponding XML under this folder: <123flashchat installed directory>/etc/groups/<group name>/database/, ie:
- For Mysql, configure Mysql.xml
- For Oracle, configure Oracle.xml
- For Sql Server, configure ODBC.xml
- For the other database, configure Common.xml
a) Mysql.xml
