Hi Raúl, there is already a module that connects to ODBC drivers, "db_unixodbc". > > What if one have more complex setup than plain tables (subscriber/aliases > > and so on)?

I can't really comment if its make sense to use such a translation layer as i don't know the system and the exact requirements of the original poster, even if i also like to keep it simple. But if such a translation module is useful to some group, the created code is understandable, documented and maintainable then i don't see a real reason that we this should not be accepted in our repository [1]. Of course it should be implemented in a general way, that it can be changed with some configuration to adapt to different URL schemes, for example, like the SER ldap module.
