In a production system we should not store

needed, as it will quickly bloat our DB. In case one wants to store
messages for debug purposes, we could add one of the following
capabilities later:
- hexdump to a log file
- send to an SMPP entry on delivery
- send to Wireshark
there are several aspects in "production". There is billing and
privacy. For privacy we should clear the text/user_data after the
SMS has been delivered. For billing one might need to keep the meta
data up to X (e.g. 90) days. As we don't have a "CDR" mdoule the only
way to handle it is to keep that in the DB.
So I wouldn't want to remove this right now.
If you want billing, you could route all messages to SMPP,
route/ACL/bill there and send them back to the internal SMSC. That's
what Rhizomatica guys are doing and it works well. In this outside
SMPP entity you could do whatever CDR and storage you want, without
touching the OpenBSC code, which is in line with our discussions with
Harald.
PS I have more DB changes pending. One is storing Message Reference in
the DB to be able to generate delivery reports (commited to my
branch). The other is not finished yet, which will allow store
delivery reports in the DB.
