Intersting, but I have no database. (well, not in the sense of a relational or SQL based one) I build systems that boot off flash and run them from RAM. Configuration is stored back on flash, but not using a relational database. Thats just too heavy IMO for embedded systems, and storing data in flat-files is just as efficient, if not more-so for a few 100 entries. The other issues, locking, etc. these are all classic computer science problems which have been long-solved so shouldn't really be an issue (and my background is real-time control, robotics, parallel processing, etc. so from my point of view nothing more than an academic excercise) Cheers, Gordon (Off to dine with some philosophers now and travel round Exeter, selling my wares before going to book an airline ticket ;-) ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

AEL is basically a very simple dialplan compiler.

I'd have a range of extensions, when dialled, it goes to the database, retrieves the list of channels, and dials those channels. The web frontend would look exactly the same, but the data would go directly into a database, not taking an extra step to go into a dialplan, then reload the text file. The advantage is that I'd never have the possibility of two people colliding on the regeneration of a text file.

Re: [asterisk-users] What do you use? .conf or AEL?
Of course you should be using Lua. More seriously, use whatever works best for you. If you have time, evaluate all three alternatives and pick the one you like the best. If you don't have the time, I wouldn't put a lot of effort into switching to AEL or Lua based dialplans. There are advantages to using both AEL and Lua over conventional ".conf" dialplan code (and some disadvantages). Mainly, complex AEL and Lua dialplans are easier to read, write, and maintain then complex traditional dialplans. At the same time, traditional ".conf" dialplans are not going away anytime soon, and you do not lose any functionality vs AEL and Lua. So trying to pick one over another is very similar to the problem of picking one programming language over another (e.g. "Is python better then ruby?").

[asterisk-users] What do you use? .conf or AEL?
Hi all, I built my first asterisk using the traditional (?) .conf files and constructs. I recall reading books at the time about AEL but it seemed "new" and untested so I left it alone. Now, I'm interested to poll the audience here to see if I should look into using AEL instead (or in addition to) for future work.
