Hello Duane: We are aware of Asterisk's own internal database stuff and want to stay away from it. Every hardcore Asterisk consultant/user knows of it and almost goes without saying. Also every hardcore Asterisk user knows of AGI & its limitations.
Let me be more specific: We want to take use of mySQL (as much as technically possible) and stay away from anything AGI. As per "Any suggestion, direction and advise is appreciated!" -- to be more specific, we are looking for suggestion, direction and advise with regards to: ** My concern is more to do with "EXTENSIONS" **. To be even more specific, we are looking for suggestions and advise on having any and every entry within the traditional extensions.conf file ... to be handled by mySQL (including CONTEXT declarations). We know **extensions** declaration is possible under a specific CONTEXT that has been declared in the extensions.conf file (we've done it). But we want more... we want to be able to declare the CONTEXT itself within a database. Maybe its possible (CONTEXT declarations with mySQL)... maybe not... but I am specifically looking for *any suggestions, directions and advise* on this CONTEXT declaration issue. Personally I have not been successful on this... and maybe at the *technical* level there are certain limitations on this. I don't know so I'm seeking advise from people who has already and truly harnessed mySQL with Asterisk. We have already embedded ALL relevant entries in mySQL that the traditional sip.conf, iax.conf, voicemail.conf and portions of extensions.conf can handle. We are aggressively experimenting on this -- though our flat files have served us very well with only a few reboots over the past 3 years. To confess, we are finding mysql integration to replace our existing dial plans (in extensions.conf) a challenge -- where we have many contexts (two contexts PER client). Best, Reza. > Reza M.
