Alias allows you to rename a standard named column to another column name. I agree that the commented items are confusing. However, both of the uncommented ones are common renames of the standard columns. > So please can you confirm how I think it should work : > > In my dialplan I have : > > /exten => 600,n,Set(CDR(mycolumn)="myvalue")/ > > So I should add the following to cdr_mysql.conf : > > /[columns] > static "mycolumn" => mycolumn/ No, what this will do is add the static definition of the literal value "mycolumn" to the mycolumn field. What you actually want is to add the field to your table (ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMN ...) and add it to your extensions.conf (and reload). That's it. There is literally nothing you have to change in the cdr_mysql.conf file to add an extra column. There is also literally nothing you have to change in the cdr_mysql.conf file to _delete_ a standard column. Just have the column not appear in the backend table (ALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN ...) and reload Asterisk. The "static" definition is for implicit values only. The "alias" column is just for renaming standard columns. -- Tilghman -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
