What I mean is that ast_db_put and similar calls are
about everywhere within the 1.2 base code (eg.
chan_zap, chan_sip, chan_iax2, pbx_dundi, etc).
There are a lot of applications out there (not just
easily modifiable dialplans) that make use of the DB
calls (custom add on code, XML phone applications,
etc).
So putting a translation layer so that ast_db_* API
calls either go the normal route or translate to
func_odbc (or another path) would improve
functionality because both old and new apps would be
able to seamlessly take advantage of the new database
backend or keep using DB1 (the * admin would decide).

I haven't looked at the 1.4/1.6 source code yet but I
was wondering how many people would benefit from this.
