For the record, no, freeside-sqlradius-radacctd doesn't have anything to 
do with the old internal session monitor, which is pretty much 
unmaintained/deprecated in favor of RADIUS these days.  The manual page 
says:

       Imports records from an the SQL radacct tables of all sqlradius and
       sqlradius_withdomain exports (except those with the ignore_accounting
       flag) and updates the svc_acct.seconds for each account.  Runs as a
       daemon and updates the database in real-time.

Currently freeside-sqlradius-radacctd is only necessary for timed (by 
the minute/hour/etc.) prepaid.

Just shorthand meaning an SQL database in the format used by RADIUS 
servers such as FreeRADIUS and ICRADIUS.

 Is that the name of the database to whch

No, the RADIUS database name is configurable in the expoort.
