NAME
Mail::SpamAssassin::BayesStore::SQL − SQL Bayesian Storage Module Implementation
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
This module implementes a SQL based bayesian storage module.
METHODS
new
public class (Mail::SpamAssassin::BayesStore::SQL) new
(Mail::Spamassassin::Plugin::Bayes $bayes)
Description: This methods creates a new instance of the Mail::SpamAssassin::BayesStore::SQL object. It expects to be passed an instance of the Mail::SpamAssassin:Bayes object which is passed into the Mail::SpamAssassin::BayesStore parent object.
This method sets up the database connection and determines the username to use in queries.
tie_db_readonly
public instance (Boolean) tie_db_readonly ();
Description: This method ensures that the database connection is properly setup and working. If necessary it will initialize a user’s bayes variables so that they can begin using the database immediately.
tie_db_writable
public instance (Boolean) tie_db_writable ()
Description: This method ensures that the database connection is properly setup and working. If necessary it will initialize a users bayes variables so that they can begin using the database immediately.
untie_db
public instance () untie_db ()
Description: Disconnects from an SQL server.
calculate_expire_delta
public instance (%) calculate_expire_delta (Integer
$newest_atime,
Integer $start,
Integer $max_expire_mult)
Description: This method performs a calculation on the data to determine the optimum atime for token expiration.
token_expiration

Integer, Integer) token_expiration(\% $opts,
Integer $newdelta,
@ @vars)
Description: This method performs the database specific expiration of tokens based on the passed in $newdelta and @vars.
sync_due
public instance (Boolean) sync_due ()
Description: This method determines if a database sync is currently required.
Unused for SQL based implementation.
seen_get
public instance (String) seen_get (string
$msgid)
Description: This method retrieves the stored value, if any, for $msgid. The return value is the stored string (’s’ for spam and ’h’ for ham) or undef if $msgid is not found.
seen_put
public (Boolean) seen_put (string $msgid, char
$flag)
Description: This method records $msgid as the type given by $flag. $flag is one of two values ’s’ for spam and ’h’ for ham.
seen_delete
public instance (Boolean) seen_delete (string
$msgid)
Description: This method removes $msgid from the database.
get_storage_variables
public instance (@) get_storage_variables ()
Description: This method retrieves the various administrative variables used by the Bayes process and database.
The values returned in the array are in the following order:
0: scan count base
1: number of spam
2: number of ham
3: number of tokens in db
4: last expire atime
5: oldest token in db atime
6: db version value
7: last journal sync
8: last atime delta
9: last expire reduction count
10: newest token in db atime
dump_db_toks
public instance () dump_db_toks (String $template,
String $regex, Array @vars)
Description: This method loops over all tokens, computing the probability for the token and then printing it out according to the passed in token.
set_last_expire
public instance (Boolean) set_last_expire (Integer
$time)
Description: This method sets the last expire time.
get_running_expire_tok
public instance (String $time)
get_running_expire_tok ()
Description: This method determines if an expire is currently running and returns the last time set.
There can be multiple times, so we just pull the greatest (most recent) value.
set_running_expire_tok
public instance (String $time)
set_running_expire_tok ()
Description: This method sets the time that an expire starts running.
remove_running_expire_tok
public instance (Boolean) remove_running_expire_tok ()
Description: This method removes the row in the database that indicates that and expire is currently running.
tok_get
public instance (Integer, Integer, Integer) tok_get (String
$token)
Description: This method retrieves a specificed token ($token) from the database and returns it’s spam_count, ham_count and last access time.
tok_get_all
public instance (\@) tok_get (@ $tokens)
Description: This method retrieves the specified tokens ($tokens) from storage and returns an array ref of arrays spam count, ham acount and last access time.
tok_count_change
|
public instance (Boolean) tok_count_change (Integer $spam_count, |
Integer $ham_count, | ||||||
|
String $token, | |||||||
|
String $atime) |
Description: This method takes a $spam_count and $ham_count and adds it to $tok along with updating $toks atime with $atime.
multi_tok_count_change
public instance (Boolean) multi_tok_count_change (Integer
$spam_count,
|
Integer $ham_count, | ||||||
|
\% $tokens, | ||||||
|
String $atime) |
Description: This method takes a $spam_count and $ham_count and adds it to all of the tokens in the $tokens hash ref along with updating each token’s atime with $atime.
nspam_nham_get
public instance ($spam_count, $ham_count)
nspam_nham_get ()
Description: This method retrieves the total number of spam and the total number of ham learned.
nspam_nham_change
public instance (Boolean) nspam_nham_change (Integer
$num_spam,
Integer $num_ham)
Description: This method updates the number of spam and the number of ham in the database.
tok_touch
public instance (Boolean) tok_touch (String $token,
String $atime)
Description: This method updates the given tokens ($token) atime.
The assumption is that the token already exists in the database.
tok_touch_all
public instance (Boolean) tok_touch (\@ $tokens
String $atime)
Description: This method does a mass update of the given list of tokens $tokens, if the existing token atime is < $atime.
The assumption is that the tokens already exist in the database.
We should never be touching more than N_SIGNIFICANT_TOKENS, so we can make some assumptions about how to handle the data (ie no need to batch like we do in tok_get_all)
cleanup
public instance (Boolean) cleanup ()
Description: This method perfoms any cleanup necessary before moving onto the next operation.

$opts);
Description: Performs an upgrade of the database from one version to another, not currently used in this implementation.
clear_database
public instance (Boolean) clear_database ()
Description: This method deletes all records for a particular user.
Callers should be aware that any errors returned by this method could cause the database to be inconsistent for the given user.
backup_database
public instance (Boolean) backup_database ()
Description: This method will dump the users database in a machine readable format.
restore_database
public instance (Boolean) restore_database (String
$filename, Boolean $showdots)

Private Methods
_connect_db
private instance (Boolean) _connect_db ()
Description: This method connects to the SQL database.

private instance (Integer) _get_db_version ()
Description: Gets the current version of the database from the special global vars tables.
_initialize_db
private instance (Boolean) _initialize_db ()
Description: This method will check to see if a user has had their bayes variables initialized. If not then it will perform this initialization.
_put_token
private instance (Boolean) _put_token (string

_get_oldest_token_age
private instance (Integer) _get_oldest_token_age ()
Description: This method finds the atime of the oldest token in the database.
The use of min(atime) in the SQL is ugly and but really the most efficient way of getting the oldest_token_age after we’ve done a mass expire. It should only be called at expire time.
_get_num_hapaxes
private instance (Integer) _get_num_hapaxes ()
Description: This method gets the total number of hapaxes (spam_count + ham_count == 1) in the token database for a user.

_token_select_string
private instance (String) _token_select_string
Description: This method returns the string to be used in SELECT statements to represent the token column.
The default is to use the RPAD function to pad the token out to 5 characters.
