No thanks. I prefer not to tie my PBX to a DB query for every single outgoing call. Even if ODBC caches results (which it can), and even if Postgres caches results (it does) you've still created a big hairy nasty smelly Single Point Of Failure. Personally I pull all my dialplans from a DB but generate straight text files from them, and then 'extensions reload' when necessary. Dialplans do *not* change that frequently. The only time I'd consider tying my PBX to a DB would be if I were a small/medium size provider and had to really watch my routing tables due to upstream changes, but that's LCR and that's an entirely different kettle of fish. -A.
