[Freeswitch-users] Changes to how ODBC, SQL, etc works

[Anthony Minessale]

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.
