This bypasses the configuration files, but not the configuration
mechnism.

A. Asterisk needs to have read-access to the database. You can grab the
username & password from its config. And then connect to the database
and get the whole tables.

B. 'show extensions' will still work nicely. Unless you're prepared to
pay a huge performance hit for non-static real-time.
