[Asterisk-Dev] Loss of functionality with depreciation of DBGet/Put?

While I'm not trying to argue with you here.. but you can't "database  
put" from the cli with a value that is empty.. you can with DBPut in  
the dial plan. You shouldn't be able to dbput if the value is empty.   
I see no real value in doing so.  I think Leif's example was a bit  
flawed.. and you're right ISNULL really doesn't do anything.  I think  
fixing the functions to work correctly in the same situation is the  
best bet.  I expect a DB_EXISTS function to return 1 if it exists and  
0 if it doesn't.. we don't care if it has a value or not in that case  
just that it exists.
