hello !

well its a solution ... but maybe not the best ...
you could change your database and use xdb_sql
(http://download.jabber.org/contrib/)
(or rewrite it to acces MS SQL Server directly or via ODBC ?).
a simpler solution would also be to create xml user file in
jabber/spool/your_host
with a little script.
