It's purpose is to allow admins to work with their DBs during debugging sessions to try to determine the state of their DB and maybe make minor adjustments. It should <b>NOT</b> be used normally and you should <b>never</b> edit your DB while Openfire is running without knowing absolutely what you are doing. Openfire caches a lot of data in the backend and changing things out from under it will confuse it and probably cause a wealth of problems. Most likely if you are installing this, it's because someone asked you to. =) </p> <h2>Installation</h2> <p>Copy dbaccess.jar into the plugins directory of your Openfire installation. The plugin will then be automatically deployed. To upgrade to a new version, copy the new dbaccess.jar file over the existing file.</p> </body> </html>
