Plus as a friend of mine used to say: "It's not MY sql its YOUR sql!"

It is a fact that we have an incredible amount of bugs come up that end up being mysql+odbc memory errors and thread safety issues.
I would be concerned with more blame falling on us of we had the code deeper into our core.

I would not condone adding any more db support unless we we architected it to use db modules so we could still properly blame it on mysql when it was not working.

While this may solve the issue... This does not address a number of other
issues

A) 90+% of the primary FreeSWITCH developers use PostgreSQL primarily...

B) There is that whole threadsafe vs non-threadsafe mysql client lib issue,
so we would have to come up with a way in the build system to detect which
we have, and never use the non-thread safe one... (if we don't do this, the
code would never be stable as we could never know for sure which one
actually got detected and linked against)
