<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Hello.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I have problems putting semicolon into
variable. I’m trying to concatenate two variables placing semicolon
delimiter in between:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>ššššššššššššššššššššššššššššššššššššššš
fullcontact = "${fullcontact};${value}";<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>for this AEL code, ‘dialplan show’
command displays:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>ššššššššššššššššššš 14. Set(fullcontact=$[
"${fullcontact}])ššššš [pbx_ael]<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Which is definitely not what I expect.
Looks like semicolon just terminates the current line of code although it is quoted!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>To me it seems like a bug in parser.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>But there is more to say – why I
started concatenating these things: there is fullcontact column in the database
which contains something like <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><a
href="sip:1011@192.168.10.202:36328;rinstance=839ea2d8c21eda0a">sip:1011@192.168.10.202:36328;rinstance=839ea2d8c21eda0a</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>And I’m trying to get it with
${REALTIME(…)} and series of ${CUT(…)}. And I found that res_config_odbc.c
splits such a values into multiple slices with the following code:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I understand that is done to be able to
have multiple semicolon-separated values in the same column. But besides being
violation of even first normal for of the DB :=) this is not the best design
choice IMHO because as you see it splits even the values you do not expect to
be splitted.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Is it really needed to have multi-value
columns?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
