Yes, I have done it. I am able to connect using odbc. Now able to write to
ms sql and also retrieve in db. Now my next steps is I need to write an app
which takes a phone call, asks for the user to input a number and then
queries a MS SQL db and reads the results a row at a time back to the
caller.

anyway got example or how to go about this? I am really refresh in
programming. thanks in advance!

 Func_odbc (which is new in 1.4) was backported to 1.2. See
http://www.asterisk.org/func_odbc



While it only will return one row (there are patches to make it return
multiple rows), it's very useful for our purposes. You set up the function
in func_odbc.conf, call it with ${ODBC_FunctionName(arg1,arg2,…)} and it
executes and returns the specified data.

I have an IVR for employees to enter certain information, like employee
number and such and then I pass that to a simple agi/php script that build
the query string and uses freetds. It took me a while to get it working and
reproduce it on several systems, but I am rather new to Linux in general.

I don't think there is any direct access to MS SQL via FreeTDS from the
dialplan, but there are ODBC functions you could use. See this page:

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+app_dbodbc

Alternatively, implement your IVR using AGI or the ExternalIVR application

and then you can do what you like with the database.

See http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+AGI
and http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+cmd+ExternalIVR

Cheers
Tony
