DBGet and DBPut work with Berkely DB 1.85.

Althought this DB185 is a little outdated, it can easily handle one 
million datasets and return fast results. You can put stuff into it with 
any DB185 enabled program, e.g. there are modules for DB185 in Perl and 
in Python (if python compiled with the right compiler switches). However, 
a DB185 file is very much like a flat file with an index/hash for fast 
lookup, so there is nothing like different tables like in SQL. That means 
that you get all your data into one, big file, e.g. Asterisks internal 
registration data and your lookup stuff.

If you still dislike astdb, another idea: then there was talk about a 
Patch about SQL commands in the dialplan in asterisk-dev.
