[asterisk-users] Can we use MySQL native connector for ARA?

[Nick Khamis]

Hmmmm, yeah I understand. Maybe with some direction I can go through
each realtime modules (peers/friends, extenstions,moh etc...), and use
the native database connecters, and some kind of factory pattern (if
even possible in C),
to support the different databases, maintaining what was possible
using unixodbc and my/pgodbc.

Currently I am busy with going live for Jan '12. So it will not be
untill after that, but I can definatly work on this.

See https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Module+Support+States for what that means, but basically Digium most likely won't put any work into the mysql backend and will rely upon community support for it. My opinion, stick with the ODBC backend unless you just can't use it for some reason. It's always better to stick to the most travelled roads when dealing with Asterisk.
