Yes.

Dynamic realtime is designed to be extensible in that way, so yes, all of the
available parameters in sip.conf can be used with realtime simply by adding
a column to the table.  Note that if set to NULL, the parameter is considered
not present, and will be treated the same as if the entry was in sip.conf
without that parameter (meaning whatever default takes control).

In most cases, no.  However, you should place the disallow column prior
to the allow column, as columns are parsed in the order in which they appear
in the table.  Hence, disallow=all, then allow=ulaw, allow=gsm, etc.

Consult the corresponding .sample file in the configs/ subdirectory.
