[Asterisk-Users] Realtime Static/Dynamic Preference

[Douglas Garstang]

Thanks, but static isn't an option. Users will have the ability to make changes to their dialplan via a web portal. Doing a 'reload' every few seconds/minutes is even less viable especially when you consider that a reload deletes all the SIP subscriptions.

 If it can't be done via config, it's probably not too hard to change
the code to do it. Be careful with switch though as that is the most
demanding (query wise) of all the realtime engines at the moment. It
will query the database with every call coming through the dial plan.
If you know when your DP is changing, you may opt to do static instead
and just reload from DB when your DP changes.
