This is true, but there are multiple files that cannot be stored in a
database.  These include asterisk.conf, extconfig.conf, and modules.conf.
Additionally, storing the extensions in a database is among the worst
interfaces currently for Asterisk.  It's basically the same as static
configuration, with a performance penalty and less versatility.  I don't know
if I could come up with a worse interface if I was trying to drive someone
insane.
