[asterisk-users] Access postgresql directly from dialplan?

[Sebastian Arcus]

I would like to access a Postgresql database directly from my dialplan 
(to lookup names based on callerid numbers for incoming calls). Based on 
everywhere I looked - it seems the only way to do this is with 
func_odbc. Considering that Asterisk seems to be able to access 
Postgresql databases directly using res_pgsql for the purposes of 
realtime functionality (without using odbc - if I understand correctly) 
- is there some other generic SQL dialplan function which would allow 
access to the Postgresql database from the dialplan without configuring 
ODBC and the rest?

Or does anybody know of a simpler way still to do this? My database is a 
Horde address book backend - which is in Postgresql - so I would like to 
use it to convert the incoming callerid's into names on the fly from the 
Horde address book.
