Aug 17 06:19:30 * decode goes back to cleaning up his * configs and slowly moving to mysql backed configs
Aug 17 06:20:30 <nowork> In canada, any idea which company can provide unlimited Canada/USA monthly service like Vonage/Primus;
Aug 17 06:20:33 <JerJer> oh god
Aug 17 06:20:49 <JerJer> why in hell would you want to bloat asterisk with databased configs?
Aug 17 06:21:18 <JerJer> there is no such thing as 'unlimited' calling
Aug 17 06:22:46 <chayewala> jerjer : I am a big advocate of using a DB backend
Aug 17 06:22:55 <chayewala> it makes life much easier.
Aug 17 06:22:58 <chayewala> and manageable
Aug 17 06:23:16 <JerJer> hell no it doesn't
Aug 17 06:23:38 <chayewala> definitely HELL wont
Aug 17 06:23:42 <JerJer> our Class 4/5 switch has a 10 megabyte text file we fire at it via serial
Aug 17 06:23:43 <chayewala> but DB does
Aug 17 06:23:45 <JerJer> RS-232
Aug 17 06:24:33 <JerJer> so if a SS7 switch manufauture does not use a friggen database to configure it, why should Asterisk?
Aug 17 06:25:00 <chayewala> you are focusing on swithes alone
Aug 17 06:25:05 <chayewala> how about customers
Aug 17 06:25:09 <JerJer> a database complicates and bloats, nothing more
Aug 17 06:25:10 <chayewala> their payments
Aug 17 06:25:15 <chayewala> not at all.
Aug 17 06:25:22 <JerJer> payments are a totally different story
Aug 17 06:25:34 <JerJer> we rock MySQL and MSSQL (sadly) all day long
Aug 17 06:25:48 <JerJer> but ceritanly not with asterisk configuration data
Aug 17 06:26:17 <chayewala> sip and iax users are a good candidate for that purpose to do interactive accounting
Aug 17 06:26:29 <JerJer> bleh
Aug 17 06:26:30 <JerJer> no
Aug 17 06:26:33 <chayewala> with out a DB, one can only implement a primitive over all system
Aug 17 06:26:41 <JerJer> huh?
Aug 17 06:26:56 <JerJer> um NuFone uses text based config files
Aug 17 06:26:59 <chayewala> well words like bleh hell f**k indicate a primitive state of mind
Aug 17 06:27:01 <JerJer> so does voicepulse
Aug 17 06:27:07 <chayewala> dont use them.
