BLF/Hint Configuration – Realtime Database Table

Hi all,

I am having trouble converting hints entered in a static extensions.conf file into database entries. The web results I found were either not answered or indicated it was simply impossible to store hints in the realtime dialplan database. Has anyone been able to successfully put hints into a realtime database?

If so, the correct values for each column when trying to add a hint to the realtime extensions/dialplan database?

I have tried multiple different approaches but nothing is recognised by Asterisk. My table structure is below:
Column Type Comment id int(11) *Auto Increment*
context varchar(20)
exten varchar(20)
priority tinyint(4)
app varchar(20)
appdata varchar(128) *NULL*

To test that my configuration for connecting to the database is correct I
can populate the database with standard actions (answer, musiconhold, voicemailmain etc) and those commands work properly.

In case it is relevant I am still using chan_sip for this project.

Kind regards Stuart
