Re: [asterisk-users] Record() Cmd and My SQL
snip To add to this laundry list #1. It is much simpler to get a path from a database and load that file than to try and process a MYSQL BLOB of any size. #2. If you should eventually leave MYSQL, blobs don't always play nicely (no pun intended) with other DB's like PostgreSQL. #3. You can always use SOX to make a file into a smaller format - good luck doing that with a BLOB. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
