✨ NCID-MYSQL(1) ✨

okay bestie, so this is the NCID manual page for the ncid-mysql output module, section 1, and honestly?? it's giving "quietly essential" 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

ncid-mysql — the module that takes your NCID data and lovingly files it away into a database, no cap 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ncid --no-gui --module ncid-mysql

that's the whole invocation. she's lowkey simple and highkey powerful. ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So like, the ncid-mysql output module stores NCID data in a MySQL or MariaDB Database, and it does it by using the mysql command line client to do the actual work. And before you come for me — yes, the client is literally called mysql for both MySQL and MariaDB. Same name, two databases. It's giving twin energy, iykyk. 👑

All your database configuration parameters live in the ncid-mysql.conf file. Set it up there, don't fight it. 🌈

And here are the field names (aka columns) that exist in the table she creates for you: 💖

  • CID — primary key, auto-increment ✨
  • CIDTYPE
  • CIDDATE
  • CIDTIME
  • CIDLINE
  • CIDNMBR
  • CIDNAME
  • CIDMTYPE
  • CIDMESG

nine columns, all accounted for, slay 🎀

⭐ REQUIREMENTS ⭐

Before you can have the main character moment, you need a few things, bestie: 🫶

  • Network access to a MySQL or MariaDB database server. Like, she needs to be able to reach it. Periodt. 🌐
  • The MySQL or MariaDB command line client mysql — the module literally shells out to this, so no client, no vibes. 💀
  • The ncid-mysql-setup script, which you run to initialize settings before first use. Not optional. Do the setup first. 🙈

🎀 FILES 🎀

here's where everything lives, map it out: 🌸

  • prefix3=/etc/ncid/conf.d/ncid-mysql.conf
  • /usr/share/ncid/modules/ncid-mysql
  • /usr/sbin/ncid-mysql-setup

  • ncidd.8

💅 reminder to my fave: every flag, file, field and path above is exactly as written. don't freestyle the technical bits, only the vibes. ✨
