ASTDB2BDB(8)							    ASTDB2BDB(8)

NAME
     astdb2bdb - convert astdb back to Berkeley DB 1.86

SYNOPSIS
     cd astvarlibdir && astdb2bdb path/to/astdb.sqlite3

DESCRIPTION
     Up  until	version version 11, Asterisk used an old version of the Berkeley
     DB 1.86 (bdb) to store its internal persistent database. In version  11  it
     switched  to using a SQLIte 3 database. This program is used to convert the
     newly-formatted SQLite 3 astdb back to bdb.

     You may need it in case of reverting an upgrade or other similar scenarios.

OPTIONS
     There is a single (and required) parameter: the path the the  sqlite  file.
     The  output  file will be a file called astdb in the current working direc-
     tory.

EXAMPLES
     In case you want to revert an upgrade to Asterisk 11, you can do  the  fol-
     lowing (while Asterisk is not running):

       cd /var/lib/asterisk && astdb2bdb astdb.sqlite3 && rm astdb.sqlite3

     This  will  convert  the  newly-formatted astdb back to the old format, and
     delete it (to avoid obsolete data copies).

NOTES
     Berkeley DB 1.86 is obsolete. It is incompatible with newer  versions  (4.x
     and newer) that you may see around. Chances are you don't have the tools to
     use it independently of Asterisk.
