I'm pretty sure nobody recommended you compile it directly into Asterisk :-)

Asterisk Realtime does not support polling a database.  It is for 
loading configuration from.  Basically it is a way to replace 
(supplement) the config files.

Originating a call is not a config file.

Call origination happens via the following means:

1. Asterisk Manager
2. Call files
3. VoIP/Analogue Phone/Line (includes GoogleTalk etc)

What you're wanting to do (initiate a call from a database record) is 
something that you would be better doing externally and using an 
existing trigger for the actual call (i.e. one of the above).

It's like saying you want to write an application to be built into 
Asterisk to initiate a call and play a message.  You'd instead use one 
of the above, then the Playback or Background application to play the 
message.
