Hi , I have asterisk 1.8.5 installed on CentOS 6. Now I want to configure my PBX to work in my network. I see that I can do this with asterisk files or use database like mysql to do it (realtime)
I want to know what is the best way and what can be consequence when I
choose other way ?
Thanks.

    Silvain,

    My experience is that Realtime in mysql works good for sip users and queues. To put your dialplan into the database depends on how big it will be and how many calls it will handle. As the Asterisk documentation says when your dialplan grows the load on your database will grow exponentialy. This is because for each incoming call it will go through all the records in the dialplan. When your dialplan is in a text file this will only be loaded once on startup or when you do a manual reload.

    In my environment I have a static dialplan in the extensions.conf file and a dynamic part which i query through an AGI and php scripts. These scripts are optimized for querying the database. The dynamic dialplan in the database is managed by a custom made webservice (apache/php/mysql)
