Heh... I never even knew that was possible :)

Agreed - ARA is a great system, and I really like that it can be combined with 
flatfile configs on a single server.

Oh?

What makes you say ODBC is a pain?  I have two files (/etc/odbc.ini and 
/etc/idbcinst.ini, which are 8 lines and 3 lines in size respectively) and I 
had to install one file /usr/local/lib/libmaodbc.so to make it work with 
MariaDB.

What's easier about the native MySQL method?

Yes:

a) efficient

b) can be done on a machien remote from the call processing

c) is realtime - call ends, CDRs are immediately available for analysis

d) can even include triggers on DB updates, for example to raise anti-fraud 
alerts.
