unixodbc is the unixodbc libraries
unixodbc-dev are the development headers for compiling freeswitch to be able to speak to the unixodbc library

You need both unixodbc-dev and unixodbc on the box you're compiling freeswitch on, but if you then distributed the binary files to another server you'd only need unixodbc to run it.

Spidermonkey is just the module that runs javascript scripts, it isn't needed at all for odbc.

"Core" is the database that freeswitch stores some internal data in... normally that's in a sqlite file, but you can move it into ODBC too.

ok I got dsn...
 
I am using  ubuntu linux & mqsql, so  is it "unixodbc" to be installed?
what is this "unixodbc-dev " then ?
where spidermonkey come in picture? do I need spidermonkey too if I installed   unixodbc? 
what is "core" and how different from ODBC?
 
thx

Configure MySQL so you can connect via ODBC. That means installing MyODBC, and unixodbc if you're on Linux, then setting up a DSN.

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
