[asterisk-users] Max Size of Conf Files

[adebayo omo-dare]

Think of BerkeleyDB as a barebones embedded RDBMS. It carries the much the  same functionality (such as ACID) as most Relational DBs but without overhead (such as SQL translation) - for many years it formed (possibly still forms - not sure of present) the core of MySQL.

way they are routed.

I just did not know if Asterisk would choke on a conf file with a couple 
thousand lines.

Thanks,
Steve
