.SH NAME
astdb2sqlite3 \- convert astdb to SQLite 3
.SH SYNOPSIS

.B astdb2sqlite3 path/to/astdb

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
Up until version version 11, Asterisk used an old version of the
Berkeley DB 1.86 (bdb) to store its internal persistent database. In
version 11 it switched to using a SQLite 3 database. This program is
used to convert an existing bdb astdb file to astdb.sqlite3.

Normally the conversion is done by Asterisk itself which will run this
program. But you may need to run it on your own.

.SH OPTIONS
There is a single (and required) parameter: the path the the bdb file.
The output file name will be the same as the input, with
.B .sqlite3
appended.

.SH EXAMPLES
Asterisk will typically run the following to upgrade the database:

  astdb2sqlite3 /var/lib/asterisk/astdb

which will create \fB/var/lib/asterisk/astdb.sqlite3\fR.

.SH SEE ALSO
.B astdb2bdb(8),
