How do you load the contact list? It's a database? Sqlite3? https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/SQLite3+astdb+back-end I'm not clear on what this specific database does. If it's not this specific database which has contact information, which database does? thanks, Thufir -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

I'm not clear on what this specific database does. If it's not this
specific database which has contact information, which database does?

Prior to Asterisk 10, Asterisk's internal database was a Berkeley
database. For a variety of reasons, in Asterisk 10, we moved to using
SQLite. Generally, this change was "under the hood", but people
upgrading from Asterisk 1.8 to a later version needed to be aware of
it.

The database really has two purposes:
(1) Asterisk uses it to store information that needs to persist
between reloads/restarts. Various modules use it for this purpose
automatically.
(2) Users can use it to store arbitrary data. This is done using a
variety of dialplan applications and functions:

* https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+11+Function_DB
* https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+11+Function_DB_DELETE
* https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+11+Function_DB_EXISTS
* https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+11+Function_DB_KEYS
* https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+11+Application_DBdeltree

Whether or not you store 'contact information' (and that could have a
variety of meanings, so I won't interpret it specifically) is up to
you.
