ODBC Storage

ODBC Storage allows you to store voicemail messages within a database instead of using a file. This is not a full realtime engine and only supports ODBC. The table description for the "voicemessages" table is as follows:

    +----------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
    | Field          | Type        | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
    +----------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
    | msgnum         | int(11)     | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
    | dir            | varchar(80) | YES  | MUL | NULL    |       |
    | context        | varchar(80) | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
    | macrocontext   | varchar(80) | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
    | callerid       | varchar(40) | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
    | origtime       | varchar(40) | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
    | duration       | varchar(20) | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
    | mailboxuser    | varchar(80) | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
    | mailboxcontext | varchar(80) | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
    | recording      | longblob    | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
    +----------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+

The database name (from /etc/asterisk/res_odbc.conf) is in the "odbcstorage" variable in the general section of voicemail.conf.

You may modify the voicemessages table name by using odbctable=??? in voicemail.conf.
