Hi
 
I think lua is the recomended/preferred for database connections and programming with freeswitch
 
1-- how can I connect to an existing mysql database (externally created and managed by php program -- contructed tables -rows- fields etc...) 
 
2-- how can I create  new mysql database  with freeswitch?
 
3-- how to check if required  lua components are  really  installed/working  for mysql db in freeswitch?
 
4-- if lua isn't a choice, which is the next best to handle  mysql  databases (javascript, perl etc..)
 
5-- any comprehensive  freeswitch  mysql db handling doc, links etc...?
thx
