Hi Jan,

yes, this could be used, of course. But for now i'd like to keep the old

There is a native berkeleydb driver in kamailio, and I used sqlite for testing 
with the db_unixodbc driver, but i'm not sure how the state of this is now in 
the sip-router repository. Marius, did you tested the unixodbc cases with the 
unit tests?
