[asterisk-users] Voicemail, SQL & ODBC

[Peder at NetworkOblivion]

Is the storage of actual voicemail messages in a database still limited 
to ODBC?  If so, why?

And is the use of mySQL and ODBC at the same time still a bad idea?  If 
so, why?

I want to store all of my voicemail stuff in a database so that I can 
give users web access to it, but I don't want to run web services on my 
* server itself.  If it is all in a DB, I can have a web box and a 
separate SQL box and none of it should affect *.
