It's my understanding that one of the Digium developers is working on adding transaction support to func_odbc. > Digium should support and ADD to this rather than non putting a SINGLE > mention of it in the > last book and making no mention of it at Astricon. I'm not sure to which book you're referring, as I'm not aware of any book that Digium has published. If you're referring to the O'Reilly book, then the blame lands squarely on my shoulders and the shoulders of the other two authors. But just to be clear -- the O'Reilly book was done completely independently of Digium, and both editions were written before I was ever hired by Digium. In short, please don't blame Digium for my own personal shortcomings :-) As for AstriCon, please remember that the speakers themselves set their topics, not Digium. In my own case, I was asked to fill in for another speaker who couldn't make it to the conference, and I chose my own topic. I'm pretty sure that I mentioned in my presentation on func_odbc that it's not the only way (or even the best way) to query a relational database from the dialplan, it just happens to be my preferred method. (I'd be happy to articulate offline why I feel that way, but I don't think this is the proper venue for me to do that) And remember, I don't claim to speak for Digium or anyone else in this regard. I'm speaking as to my *personal* preferences here. -Jared Smith _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
