IMHO, there's only two (maybe 3) worthwhile options there. One is
BerkleyDB. It's simple, it works, no extra work on your part. If
you're going to be in a very active environment with LOTS of DB access
going on, you go with options 2&3. MySQL or PostgreSQL. With regards
to Asterisk, I'd say they're both about equal. It comes down to
personal preference for the most part. If you prefer (or are already
running) MySQL, use that. If you prefer (or are already running)
PostgreSQL, use that. Other than that, I don't think there are really
all that many other options.
