Hi all, Could someone please tell me what is the relative "cost" in using conf files oppose to the astdb? Basically I need to match a name to a phone number in order to have all users registered by name and not by number (which I understood is not a good practice). I have 2000 users and a complex dial-plan and server resources become an issue. I could implement this via a context in my extensions.conf: exten => <number>,1,Dial(SIP/<name>) ; obviously I would need to hard-code this for every extension - or I could do it via astdb: exten => _XXX,1,Dial(SIP/${DB(Names/${EXTEN})}) Which method would consume fewer resources (put aside other pro's & con's)? Is there any better way of implementing this? Would 'hints' help me out here? If yes, I would appreciate a detailed explanation how to use it.
Thanks in advance, Harel
