<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Can someone shed some light on why the ‘hint’ feature
was implemented in the ‘priority’ field that is purely an integer
in the rest of the dialplan?</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>There seems to be a conflict with realtime and the hint
priority, in order to put in the hints you would have to change the priority
column in the database from int to char and give up some performance (since int
indexes better and priority is a parameter in the select)?</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>More importantly, can anyone answer these questions;</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Can the hint priority by put in mysql realtime?</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Is there truly an impact to changing the priority datatype
to char or varchar?</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>If it can not be put in realtime, can the hint priority
exist in the same context statically, and the numbered portion of the dialplan
in realtime? (making it “not so real time”)</span></font></p>
