Can some one point me to the documentation on use of SQL NAS table?
So that I can add nas devices to the DB and not a text file?

There has been discussion on this in the past, here is a 
message I sent as a response to this list, that might point 
you in the right direction.

Am I to take it that it is not possible to use SQL for the
clients.conf
file? And if that it the case could someone please explain what the
nas
table is for in the database schema?
It's possible.  You do need at least one entry in "clients.conf",
though.  I suggest "127.0.0.1"
Then, read "sql.conf", and set "readclients=yes"

Cool.

I am working with FreeBSD and the updates for 1.0.5 are not 
in the cvsup repository yet, so my comment is in regards to 
1.0.4, but may apply to 1.0.5.

I to a look at the postgresql stuff and it appears as though 
the schema will need a little tweak in order to be compitible 
with "rlm_sql.c"'s requirements.

A "SERIAL" column named Id will need to be added.

This will make it compatible :

-- SQL clients table
CREATE TABLE nas (
        id              SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
        nasname         VARCHAR(128),
        shortname       VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
        type            VARCHAR(30),
        ports           int4,
        secret          VARCHAR(60) NOT NULL,
        community       VARCHAR(50),
        description     TEXT
);

This is not required, but this info used to be in the nas
table in the postgresql schema.

-- additional nas info table included in previous nas table
CREATE TABLE nas (
        id              int4 NOT NULL,
        ipaddr          INET PRIMARY KEY,
        snmp            VARCHAR(10),
        naslocation     VARCHAR(32)
);
