RE: [asterisk-users] Re: Is asterisk able to integrate with MS SQL

Func_odbc (which is new in 1.4) was backported to 1.2. See http://www.asterisk.org/func_odbc   While it only will return one row (there are patches to make it return multiple rows), it’s very useful for our purposes. You set up the function in func_odbc.conf, call it with ${ODBC_FunctionName(arg1,arg2,…)} and it executes and returns the specified data.   -- Wes Baehr     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bruce Reeves Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 2006 7:56 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Re: Is asterisk able to integrate with MS SQL   I have an IVR for employees to enter certain information, like employee number and such and then I pass that to a simple agi/php script that build the query string and uses freetds. It took me a while to get it working and reproduce it on several systems, but I am rather new to Linux in general.

I don't think there is any direct access to MS SQL via FreeTDS from the dialplan, but there are ODBC functions you could use. See this page: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+app_dbodbc Alternatively, implement your IVR using AGI or the ExternalIVR application and then you can do what you like with the database. See http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+AGI and http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+cmd+ExternalIVR Cheers Tony -- Tony Mountifield Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.softins.co.uk Play: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://tony.mountifield.org _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit:    http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users -- Bruce Nortex Networks
