asterisk users - Mar 2004 - MySQL configurations and other things.

Hello all, 

	I've been using Asterisk for a little while now,   and decided to 
take a small plunge into seeing how Asterisk would inter-operate with 
a SQL database.  Yes,   I know this question comes up quite a bit,  but 
I had some specific questions. 

	Getting the CDR to the MySQL database was no problem.  Works
great.  Next,  I decided to try out the Voicemail configuration as
the instructions explain @ voip-info.org.   I created my database/tables, 
verified my username/password works and fire up asterisk.    During the
Asterisk startup,  I see (when app_voicemail.so gets loaded)...

"Logging into database with user XXXX,  password XXXX and database
XXXX"

	Wonderful!  No errors.  All looks good.   I add a user into 
the VM database (and verify that it's there) - and restart Asterisk again
(just to be on the safe side - the voip-info.org doc's say that the
users voicemail configurations should be read dynamically).  Once again, 
I get a good "logging into database" (no errors) when it loads the
voicemail
module. 

	When I do a "show voicemail users",  it returns "There are no 
voicemail users currently defined".    I indeed have "users"
defined.

 	I attempted the same sort of setup with the "sipfriends/iaxfriends"
MySQL database configuration.   I add a user into the MySQL database
(in the "sipfriends",  for example) - however,  when I do a "show
sip users"
at the Asterisk CLI,  It doesn't show them.   Thinking that the
"show"
command doesnt function with the SQL function,   I attempted to register
with the Asterisk server anyways  - this fails with a authentication 
failure... 

	From the little bit of reading material I've found on this,  it
_appears_ that the SIP/IAX MySQL DB and voicemail MySQL DB configurations
are broken.  Is this the case?    Is there a Postgres way of doing the
above SQL database/dynamic configurations?   The only thing i've seen
function is the MySQL CDR recording.   Thanks for the information in 
advance.  Hopefully,  I'm still being clear on what i'm trying to 
accomplish....

It's a fairly new command, and it is not implemented for SQL 
configurations.
Perhaps an enterprising user (who uses SQL configurations) could write
the appropriate code?  It shouldn't be all that difficult.
