I'm currently using cdr_odbc - do you see any problem in using both?
No issue at all, cdr_odbc gives you a fraction of the info that xml_cdr does.
Okay, thanks.
Also, just for a definitive answer, do I take it that there is no variable which the dialplan can reference in order to get the current timestamp?
I'd not recommend doing that, because every time you do a get var, you cause a pool allocation and doing this in a loop will make your session pool swell at the rate of whatever you're calling get_var on. Doing anything at all inline with the dialplan is not the right approach. your logic and info should be all external, keying off events either on ESL or custom modules you wrote.
Hm, this sounds like an interesting and important conceptual aspect of the way FreeSwitch works which I suspect I haven't fully "got". Can you point me at the documentation which explains this, for people who are more used to procedural programming, and show how we should be thinking about FreeSwitch dialplans instead? I'm certainly keen on using FreeSwitch in as efficient a manner as possible :) Thanks, Antony. -- In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded. - Terry Pratchett Please reply to the list; please *don't* CC me.
