asterisk users - Apr 2011 - ARA table definitions (1.8.*)

Where would one find, or better yet determine from code, all of the table
definitions for ARA dynamic families?

There seems to be some bits and pieces in various places around the internet,
ie. voip-info, the definitive guide, ect. but nothing complete or definitive.

I have wondered about this for years.  Ideally we would have a script packaged
with asterisk source, that could be run and would parse the source and generate
the table create scripts, including all table columns, and save to file.  We
could then go in and customize the script from there, adding or removing columns
as needed, ect.

Thanks,
Jason

I have to agree that info is scattered many places not just the asterisk
site, but also voip-info, and a couple of threads on this list.

One this i just noticed, is that all of them are related to 1.6 or
older. That is, the field definitions for ip-adresses are just 15
characters wide. For most of us, that will be enough, but if you ever
tried to store a ipv6 address into it, it will be severely truncated.

So in order to be v4/v6 agnostic, it should be atleast 40 characters
wide (4*8 hex charecters with seven colons)...
