asterisk DB != Realtime Asterisk

The asterisk DB is a Berkeley Hash, used to store key=value pairs.
Realtime Asterisk uses modules to store configuration (dialplan, SIP,
queues, etc.) in a SQL Database. The advantage is that changes to the
configuration take effect immediately without reloading the server.
