[asterisk-users] Authorize & Microsoft SQL

[Steve Wofford]

The solution you mentioned is really no different. The only difference
are the following:

 

1.       Different database drivers. Someone just emailed them, see the
email after my response in this thread.

2.       Slightly different queries, but will be very easy to recode.
For Example mySQL pus a";" after a command and MS SQL does not.

 

After you setup the database connection using the database drivers your
code will execute in much the way of your friends. Database platforms
are interchangeable w/ some tweaking after you have the underlying
connection setup.

 

Whether you pass CDR queries or specialized ticket number queries there
is nothing extra you have to do. However, you do have to program your
system to handle and react to the data you receive.

 

I highly doubt this is something you can get up and running out of the
box and will require some custom programming.

 

However, if you can get your friends code, this would not be that hard
to port to MS SQL.

Thanks for the reply Steve. I think you may have given me the idea I
need. Here's what I was really going for though. A friend of mine did
this same thing as what I am looking to do, however he does this with a
mysql database. Here's basically what he does,

 

1.       Reads a string from the caller

2.       Check's the string against a mysql database, basically performs
a where query on the db, if the number of records returned > 1 he knows
there is a match, if not it's a bad code.

3.       If the code doesn't match which tells the caller the code is
wrong and sends them back to step 1

4.       If the code matches, it continues on.

 

According to his dialplan code, mysql database connections and queries
can be completed within the dialplan. What I am looking for is if a MS
SQL query can be completed within a dialplan just like a mysql query can
be. I know there's ODBC options for asterisk, and odbc drivers for MS
SQL for linux, so I would think this would be the way to go, but from
what I can see it's rather complicated, and like I said in my original
post, I'm only finding docs that spell out ODBC connections for CDR not
DB queries. So I was hoping someone had already invented this wheel and
would be willing to provide insight into this setup.

There is nothing that ties asterisk and MS SQL together. MS SQL is just
a database and many Windows base PBX use MS SQL to store CDR amongst
many other things. What you do w/ the SQL data is up to you and can do
anything really.

 

Can you provide some more information on how this data is go get to the
asterisk system? Your asterisk system will need a SQL connection. I am
sure there are client libraries for Linux to allow a client to connect
to the SQL db. Once you have this connection you can call SQL for
authentication using a simple SQL query. You can pass back the results
and asterisk can process from there. I am only guessing here, but this
is going to be a programming/scripting job. I doubt there is any
software that does specifically what you ask.

 

I do tons of Microsoft SQL work so if you can define your requirements
and existing infrastructure I am sure we can help point you in the right
direction.

Hello Everyone,

 

I have an installation where the client has a Microsoft SQL database
that holds all of their case information. They would like the asterisk
system to require users to enter a valid case number when making an
outgoing call. I'm seeing some documentation regarding people using
Microsoft SQL for CDR storage, however nothing regarding validating
authentication using a Microsoft SQL database.

 

Anyone have any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

Greg
