i have been using radius for accounting, but now looked at db accounting for another project. couple of issues:

• why is sip reason (the comment after reply's reason code) a mandatory field in accounting table? if someone offers a good reason, my opinion is that it should be removed. if someone needs it, he/she can add it to db_extra list.

it is so from the early implementation. Not sure how is with radius, but the reason phrase is also taken from acc_db_request() parameter (comment param) and stored in db.

• is there possibility to fall back to syslog accounting if database insert fails?

you can account to both at the same time, but internally there is no such mechanism, although would not be hard to implement.

One more thing, if you use acc_db_request(), if that fails then you can call acc_log_request(), but I assumed you refer to usage of flags for accounting.
