Ham radio callsign database

Tool which populates SQLite database when run with all the history. Handles all oddities in Ficora and Traficom data and produces a consistent view to the data.

Requirements:

• git php-cli php-sqlite3
• sqlite3 if you want to use the command-line interface, too.

Usage:

1. Clone git repository https://github.com/OH6AD/koolit/ to somewhere. You may use --bare to save some space.
2. Copy config.example.ini to config.ini
3. Edit config.ini and set repository path correctly. Set database path to preferrably an absolute path. You can ignore all Matrix related stuff.
4. Run the tool update_database periodically in a systemd timer (at 07 in the morning is fine), cron or similar. Database file is created if not existing.

Enjoy the database. Check database schema. An example query:

$ sqlite3 db.sqlite 
SQLite version 3.31.1 2020-01-27 19:55:54
Enter ".help" for usage hints.
sqlite> .mode line
sqlite> select * from event where callsign='OH64K'; 
 callsign = OH64K
   status = VARAUS
from_date = 2018-03-28
  to_date = 2018-04-16

 callsign = OH64K
   status = VOIMASSA
from_date = 2018-04-16
  to_date = 2021-01-01
