> Change Iac961fe79154c6211569afcdfec843c0c24c46dc (https://github.com/asterisk/asterisk/commit/7f8d83fef42f4b1d2240ea543f61a5a70754e862 ) fixes ASTERISK-25938 where a dialplan user was expecting a single connection for his func_odbc calls.
> The changeset fixes that a single ODBC connection is used for all func_odbc calls. I.e. no concurrent requests.
> In the report, the reporter was doing something like this:
> {noformat}
> Set(ODBC_do_some_write()=x)
> Set(insert_id=${ODBC_get_last_insert_id()})
> {noformat}
> The above only makes sense if you surround that with an exclusive lock; which the user did.
> Using a lock like that is not the common case. So I'd like the aforementioned fix to be optional -- possibly even disabled by default in master. That would give new users the benefits of concurrent access, while leaving asterisk-13 users (and those who explicitly choose to) with a single connection so the esoteric dialplan above works.

> Yes, this is an RFE without patch. I'll get to that, but first when we start moving some machines to 13.
