asterisk users - May 2009 - Feature request: "database show" from manager API

Hi,

In ASTDB, I've got a rather long list of entries like:
/FamilyA/Key1    Value1
/FamilyA/Key2    Value2
/FamilyA/Key3    Value3
...

Instead of sending several DBGet queries (and parsing every response), I'm
wondering if a single "database show" or "database show
family" query could
be implemented.
Alternative if to use ssh ("asterisk -rx "database show FamilyA")
but I'm
not certain it can be easily in every language supportinq AMI.

Any hint ?

Regards

PS: On advantage of  asterisk -rx "database show FamilyA" over DBGet
is you
don't need to know which key is present and which is not.

You can send a Command: via the manager API and parse the return..

So send it a

   Action: Command
   Command: database show FamilyA

and just suck up and parse the results...
