Hello,
I wonder if it is possible to use a default value for an accounting field. I
would require this to keep track of the Calling-Station-Id value, which does
not always get transmitted to us by the telco. Specifically, the telco does
not transmit it, when a customer uses the ISDN hide-callerid feature on his
phone line.
The times it does not get transmitted, the AuthBy SQL generates an error
because of the missing field.
I have set the column to be of type varchar(20) in the accounting SQL table.
The default value could be '' (empty field) but it must be present, else the
SQL insert fails.
Is there a possibility to set a default value to the field if it is not
there ??
Thanks for any ideas, hacks, etc...
Here is an output from the trace 4 log and the relevant part of the
configuration file :
