asterisk users - Feb 2008 - realtime table customization to track iax registrations

Hello,
I'm experimenting with Asterisk and MySQL.
Up to know I've just put iax.conf in a MySQL database and it seems to
work: when a Iax2 client registers the corrispondent row in db is
updated. Good.
However when I have many asterisk boxes pointing to the same db a
problem arises: I need an additional column in iax_buddies table called
for example "Asterisk ID" which tells me on which asterisk box a
particular user is registered. Is there a way to achieve this? I've seen
this function:

ASB*CLI>
  -= Info about function 'REALTIME' =-

[Syntax]
REALTIME(family|fieldmatch[|value[|delim1[|delim2]]]) on read
REALTIME(family|fieldmatch|value|field) on write

[Synopsis]
RealTime Read/Write Functions
[...]


but I don't think I can use this during client registration as it will
only be available in dialplan.

Any hints appreciated.

Regards,
Claudio

I have solved this by creating views for each asterisk, like this:
create view customer1_sip as select * from sip where customer =
'customer1';
and so on. This works in MySQL which has updatable views, but not in
PostgreSQL, but you can achieve the same effect with triggers I
believe.

It is not a particularly nice solution because you need to remove and
recreate all views if you add a new column to the table. We're going
back to generating config files from a database though.
