Hi Sammy,
Thanks for share your experance and provide a new way of Asterisk
communication with DB.
Actually I am using this feature only for MOH feature of asterisk right now.
But I will used it to all the configuration files too as per the needs.
I am not too much aware abut the Asterisk DB handling that's why I used ODBC
and mysql connection with asterisk.
One more thing please tell me how to take backup of Asterisk DB ? It is my
1st and last things which hurt me.
