[asterisk-users] To DB or not to DB?

[Alan Lord]

I lurk and comment a little on here and have been playing with * for a 
short while.

I am interested in hearing about the pros and cons for using a database 
backend to Asterisk. My current setup is simple, out of the box with 
config files in /etc/asterisk and logs etc going into /var.

I notice a great many of the contributors here seem to use a db backend 
(is this also called Real Time Asterisk?) and I'd like to know why if 
anyone cares to comment.

Thanks

Alan
