The way the asterisk C code works is to look through a list of user/extensions/peers to find the search object. O = (N/2)
After looking through the "Linked-List" of "users" and not finding it Asterisk then looks to the database using the mysql_user function call to find what it is looking for. It only takes the time needed to do a single select statement (i.e. the Database is faster if you have 1000's of .conf entries, slow if there are few to dozens to 100's.) In other words, if you move to a database don't keep things in the .conf file. But don't delete the .conf file as Asterisk still needs them to work.

I'm new to Asterisk. How big can be sip.conf (and other: iax.conf, extensions.conf...) Is there point when I must use DB (MySQL...) instead of pure .conf? _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
