How does buffered-sql read the detail file? I see

filename = ${radacctdir}/detail

but it does not show (for example) what happens when freeradius is
stopped and restarted before all entries in the detail file processed
: Does it re-process everything, or does it ignore everything and only
process "new" detail log.
