I don't claim to be one of the main developers of *.  I mostly lurk
on the list, I fully admit.  So what?  Here's my advice:

chan_sip.c can be modified so that it puts the sql queried user info 
into
the internal user structure same as a static 'sip.conf' configuration 
would
achieve thus causing MWI polling to work for your sql users.

I'm a developer, and I use asterisk.  Thanks for asking.

So does freeradius, and there isn't such a schism in place there between
-users/-dev as seems to be perceived by many here.

It's a patch to add functionality to MYSQL_FRIENDS in chan_sip.c.  But 
since
that is not wanted going forward, I guess I'll keep it to myself, and 
start
looking at RealTime.

Cheers,
