asterisk users - Nov 2006 - Store voicemal data in mysql DB

Hi everybody,

just to confirm that I understood it right (and that the info isn't
obsolete):

I have to store the voicemail audio data in an external mysql DB. In
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+Voicemail+ODBC+storage I
read that this is only possible via ODBC and *NOT* via native mySQL
(like with CDR storage).

I would like to avoid using ODBC. So:

Is thsi still correct?
Will this change in 1.4 ?
Or did I miss something?

Many thanks,
Norbert
