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.
