Yeah, we have a macro (which is in the default extensions.conf) which we
add that line to.

Yep, we have a context which we put applications in that users can use
(i.e. voicemail, echo test, pickup etc - this is added there)

The database lasts across restarts - so once you put it in, it is in.
You can do it from the commandline, Asterisk Manager, or even from
extensions.conf. For example you could make it that if someone dials
1234x, their pickup group is set to x.
I.E.
exten => _1234x,1,Set(${DB(pickupgroup/${CALLERID(number)})}=${EXTEN:4})
