<p>Messaging Server maintains an index entry in memory. A copy of the index

entry of all message types is stored in the SQL database, so that it can be

restored in the event of a system reset or Messaging Server failure. </p>

<p>Some fields only apply to particular types of entry (such as messages or

services); other fields can be interpreted differently for different entry

types. </p>

<section id="GUID-10265557-F31B-50B3-A955-A548A5A78D7B"><title>Operating with

the SQL database</title> <p>The SQL database is used to store each <xref href="GUID-5A23B804-2C06-3407-9D48-1BFB212D699F.dita"><apiname>TMsvEntry</apiname></xref> (index

entry) as a row of an SQL table in the SQL database. It caches entries, and

maintains the most recently accessed entries in the RAM. Entries are cached

in the RAM, and are loaded only when required. The RAM usage is controlled

by emptying the oldest entry in the cache when it is full. For more information

on caching, see <xref href="GUID-2FAB8281-569A-52BE-8BC8-A2D378068706.dita">Caching</xref>.

The following illustration shows the architecture of the Message Server with

the SQL database. </p> <fig id="GUID-57F87249-8F4F-59B4-902C-2A577A120F1A">

</fig><note> Write operations like updating, creating and deleting entries

require disk operation to retrieve <xref href="GUID-5A23B804-2C06-3407-9D48-1BFB212D699F.dita"><apiname>TMsvEntry</apiname></xref> from database,

because the entry cache is always in synchronisation with the corresponding

entry in the database.</note> <p><b>Advantages</b> </p> <p>The following are

the advantages of using the SQL database to store index entries: </p> <ul>

<li id="GUID-49050952-7EB4-52A9-BEB3-0D1F467BFD42"><p>Reduces the amount of

RAM used by messaging, as the message the index file is not used. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-AE0A5FA5-4588-5C28-A261-8ADD8917D56B"><p>Enables more messages

to be stored on the device, as the number of messages stored is not restricted

to the amount of RAM available to store the message index file. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-565D30B2-9249-5C9D-9DFD-B67C83BFAC35"><p>Enables controlled usage

of RAM, as index entries are loaded on a need basis. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-E5CC0C68-A23F-5F99-BFBB-1AD1A3775454"><p>Eliminates the possibility

of the message index file getting damaged and messages stored on the device

getting deleted. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-148420E8-C23D-5678-8870-B8AA1CD8ED15"><p>Provides advanced search

and sort capabilities for searching messages. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-0E1A2485-A90C-565B-B927-487EE3FB7E4C"><p>Accesses and manages

message entries on one or more drives at the same time. </p> </li>
