asterisk users - Jun 2006 - Realtime: how to use column setvar?

How can I use the column "setvar" in my dialplan?

I am not sure if it is for that what I need:
Many phones have the same jump in place, but need a few variables 
different, like tariff, silent, need_password,
I have for tariff = 4 variations, for silent=2, for need_password=2   
... If I solve it like now, I need 4x4x2 = 32 context variations. If I 
could use a field in the Real-time database, these info could be there 
and it is only one context.

in sip.conf:

setvar=key=value

And then in your dialplan, you'll have a (global?) variable called ${KEY}
