I don't know which asterisk version you are running. In version 1.2
there is at least the possibility to store cdr records in an odbc
database, I'm using version 1.4.2 to do far more intresting things in my
dialplan using func_odbc to route calls to groups of users and maintain
an on-line telephone directory....

I'm not sure what you mean. Asterisk can initiate a call, just drop a
callfile in the queue, this is pretty wel documented on www.voip-info.org

I guess you are very new to asterisk. Asterisk is very feature rich.
Check out www.voip-info.org, it is a great resource about asterisk. Also
find the book (on-line) 'Asterisk, the future of telephony' aka
'Asterisk TFOT', it will get you started on asterisk big time if you
want to do the more intresting things as you describe.
