asterisk users - Jan 2005 - ANNOUNCEMENT:NEWCallingCardApplicationforAsterisk

Areski, thank for spending the time to write it.

Thanks for taking the time to share it with us.

But, many special thanks for having to sit this MySQL vs. Postgress
bickering WAR.

GUYS, this is an Asterisk Users Mailing List.

PLEASE, take it elsewhere.

I really do want to help newbies. But about 200 messages a day is hard
to read through.

When you add another 50 to the bunch for no reason it only makes me
wanna delete them all.

This is the best way to turn into one of those lists we all don't want
to be a part of.

Sure, in an ideal world you'd never need any checking. Hell, typed
languages
are just stupid as well.

Meanwhile, smaller things might go unnoticed. A change to the DB design
that's thought to be OK? If you think that your DB should never ever
have to
kick back errors, then you've worked on amazing teams, or never on a
team
that did a lot of development against a DB.
