I can not speak for core developers, but it's probably worthwhile to archive that page and create a new one with current information. I understand the push to get everybody to use the current release of everything, but not every installation can, so somebody might need those old instructions to rebuild an old system that can't be upgraded at the moment. Copy whatever parts are still useful to a new page and either add "deprecated" to the title of the old page or title the new page like "ODBC in the 1.6 core" or similar. There's a TON of old cruft in the wiki, some of which is useful, some of which is outdated. We said we would use the feature of Confluence to clone each instance to a new one when a new FS release comes out, but we haven't done that. If we did that, it would provide a snapshot for archival reference while the current live wiki marches on. I wouldn't do that without consensus from a bunch of people who are smarter than I because it has the potential to cause a lot of confusion. Bote

Hi All,
This is the page I'll be referencing: https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/Using+ODBC+in+th e+core
I added the TOC tonight because it was quite messy, but after reading the page, it looks like some pruning could be done.
Questions: Do we want to have the Ubuntu section as that's not the preferred distro? Do we want to reference Debian Squeeze as that's not the preferred platform? Same questions apply to Postgres 8.4 and CentOS5.2, both relics in today's world.
I'm anxious to try Postgres with FreeSWITCH, but because the page is a bit outdated, I don't quite understand the process. I installed a couple of the packages mentioned at the top and made the files. I was then able to connect with the isql -v freeswitch command but I don't see any mention of Postgres in my config.log
I do see this for odbc in the config.log: configure:19959: checking for odbc header in /usr/include configure:19984: checking for SQLDisconnect in -lodbc configure:20009: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c -lodbc >&5 configure:20088: checking whether to include odbc config.status:1773: creating src/mod/event_handlers/mod_odbc_cdr/Makefile ac_cv_found_odbc=yes ac_cv_found_odbc_inc=yes ac_cv_lib_odbc_SQLDisconnect=yes ac_cv_odbc_where_inc=/usr/include ac_cv_odbc_where_lib=yes ODBC_LIB_FLAGS='-Wl,-lodbc'
If we could come to an agreement on the few questions above about the old sections, I can work on changing it. Once I have a better understanding of postgres and freeswitch, I can also provide more concert documentation.
Thanks!
