No, not yet, so far we have two separate database schemas.

I agree. IMHO both kamctl and kamdbctl tools can be promoted as new
management scripts for sip-router.

On ser side we currently have no equivalent of kamctl. We have a bunch
of management tools written in python but these tools need to be
updated for sip-router. In fact they can live alongside of kamctl,
because their purpose is slightly different.

As for kamdbctl, on ser side there are similar script for each
database (i.e. ser_mysql.sh, ser_postgres.sh). But they are less
advanced than kamdbctl so we can adopt kamctl and remove the ser
scripts from the repository later.
