I've never been a fan of using database commands in the dialplan. I prefer 
to wrap up all the database cruft into a nice little black box, an AGI, 
where I have full access to the database API and real debugging tools.

I think database commands in the dialplan are just ugly.

Not to mention that Asterisk is "developmental" and "a moving target".  If
you read 1000 posts on this forum, you'll come across 10-15 items where "it
worked then, but it doesn't now". If it's in an AGI, you have a much better
chance of surviving version changes.
