Description:I think using syntax like "exten LIKE", "\\_%" (in pbx_realtime.c) should be avoid as realtime driver may not be a sql one (for exemple ldap driver) or one should document all usages and think on how a driver can parse it before coding them.

When we have an LDAP realtime driver in consideration on this bugtracker, we'll give this more thought then.

I'm open to suggestions on what to substitute in place of the SQL wildcard.
By: Manuel Guesdon (mguesdon) 2005-12-04 04:56:38.000-0600

I'd replace (name,value) arguments by (name,operator,value) arguments with operator being = or LIKE and I'd use * as wildcard and I won't escape characters (except our wildcard). This will be cleaner an make driver conversion easier.
Escaping and syntax converting should be done by drivers.

This avoid using workaround like in pbx_realtime.c:
ast_load_realtime_multientry(table, "exten LIKE", "\\_%", ...)

This case will become:
ast_load_realtime_multientry(table, "exten", "LIKE", "_*", ...)

If we go with that syntax, then we'll go one step further:  the operator should become a token (int), not a string.

I agree.

is anyone up to this task or will it remain a feature request?

No responses. Will keep this in archive while waiting for patches.
