Database link management

Introduction

The Ozeki NG - SMS Gateway software does not require the database server to run on the same computer. The database server can reside on a different computer (though this may involve some decrease in speed).

Connection is available

The connection between Ozeki NG and SQL Server is alive.

Connection is not available

The connection between Ozeki NG and the SQL Server is broken. In this case, incoming SMS messages will be stored in a text file until the connection is reestablished (thus avoiding data loss). Then, the content of the file will be placed into the database.
