What *you* are forgetting is that people bitch and whine about the performance of Asterisk's flat file configuration format and point to Realtime for performance increases and instant-updates... and then they throw MySQL into the mix and completely undermine everything they've been bitching about! What the hell good is MySQL in a realtime Asterisk environment when you go to update a user and the entire PBX waits because some table is locked? What the hell good is MySQL when you've got a dozen Asterisk boxes now (your business is booming) and MySQL's sputtering and pissing about because it's crumbling under the load? Oh, failover and redundancy I hear you say but let's face it -- use the proper tools for the job in the first place and you won't end up with a duct-tape and JBWeld abomination that yes, works, but is so brittle and inflexible that you've now painted yourself into a corner? Of course, by the time you've reached this point you'll have so much time and energy invested into your hacked up solution that you will refuse to accept that you made a mistake early on and will instead religiously defend your choice of tools, well beyond any rational argument. > PS, why do people insist on talking about old versions of software in > order to tell you it is bad?

People need to know what they're getting in to. -A. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-dev To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-dev
