[asterisk-users] database queries from extensions.conf

[Klaus Darilion]

Hi Jared!

Thanks for the info - looks very flexible - you only have to edit 4 
configuration files for a simple query :-)

just a few questions:
The ODBC library is unixodbc?

How does it compare to the other solutions in terms of performance? e.g. 
(I have to make several queries for each call (caller preferences, LNP, 
LCR...)

regards
klaus
