asterisk users - Sep 2012 - Realtime Hints

Hello,
I'd like to start using realtime hints in my asterisk 1.8 dialplan, but I
am unable. I haven't understood if they have to be put inside the
extensions realtime table (with priority -1) or if a dedicated realtime
hints table can be made. Neither ways seem to work. Have you any working
example?

Did you try priority 'hint'?

We use something like below

[blf]
    exten =>_ZXX!,hint,SIP/${ODBC_FINDEXTN(sd.name,${EXTEN})}


This uses an odbc call to create the hint when the phone asks for it.
Using snom 760 and 821
