I don't think there is any direct access to MS SQL via FreeTDS from the <br>
dialplan, but there are ODBC functions you could use. See this page:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+app_dbodbc">http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+app_dbodbc</a><br>
<br>
Alternatively, implement your IVR using AGI or the ExternalIVR application <br>
and then you can do what you like with the database.<br>
<br>
See <a href="http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+AGI">http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+AGI</a><br>
and <a href="http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+cmd+ExternalIVR">http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+cmd+ExternalIVR</a><br>
