SQL template: create VIEW in PostgreSQL database for iRedMail

[Deleted user]

Here's SQL template used to create VIEW in PostgreSQL for iRedMail, tested with Roundcubemail-1.1.0 with PostgreSQL-8.4.20 on CentOS 6 (iRedMail-0.9.0).

-- RHEL/CentOS 6.
-- CREATE LANGUAGE plpgsql;                                                           
-- \i /usr/share/pgsql/contrib/dblink.sql;

-- RHEL/CentOS 7
-- CREATE EXTENSION dblink;

CREATE VIEW global_addressbook AS
    SELECT * FROM dblink('host=127.0.0.1 port=5432 user=xxx password=xxxx dbname=xxx', 'SELECT extract(epoch FROM created), name, username, domain FROM mailbox WHERE active=1')
    AS global_addressbook ("ID" BIGINT, name VARCHAR(255), email VARCHAR(255), domain VARCHAR(255));

ALTER TABLE global_addressbook OWNER TO roundcube;

Notes:

• if you're running RHEL/CentOS 6 or 7, don't forget to uncomment the first lines to create dblink function.
• of course you should replace xxx in above sample SQL command by the real SQL username/password/database name.
• on iRedMail server, it's better to use SQL user vmail which has read-only permission to vmail database. Don't use vmailadmin or root user.

Known issue on iRedMail server:

• column mailbox.created stores timestamp when this account was created, if the timestamp contains timezone info (e.g. 2015-02-28 22:31:16.562376), this plugin cannot display any contact. Change the timestamp to 2015-02-28 22:31:16 (without time zone info) works.

Mind creating a fork and pull request for this, also any chance of you creating an Alias Compatible one? On the MySQL Side it uses a subquery on the e-mail address.
