-As of 1.6.2, Asterisk now supports doing database transactions from the
-dialplan. A number of new applications and functions have been introduced
-for this purpose and this document should hopefully familiarize you with
-all of them.
-
-First, the ODBC() function has been added which is used to set up all new
-database transactions. Simply write the name of the transaction to this
-function, along with the arguments of "transaction" and the database name,
-e.g. Set(ODBC(transaction,postgres-asterisk)=foo). In this example, the
-name of the transaction is "foo". The name doesn't really matter, unless
-you're manipulating multiple transactions within the same dialplan, at the
-same time. Then, you use the transaction name to change which transaction
-is active for the next dialplan function.
-
-The ODBC() function is also used to turn on a mode known as forcecommit.
-For most cases, you won't need to use this, but it's there. It simply
-causes a transaction to be committed, when the channel hangs up. The other
-property which may be set is the isolation property. Please consult with
-your database vendor as to which values are supported by their ODBC driver.
-Asterisk supports setting all standard ODBC values, but many databases do
-not support the entire complement.
-
-Finally, when you have run multiple statements on your transaction and you
-wish to complete the transaction, use the ODBC_Commit and ODBC_Rollback
-applications, along with the transaction ID (in the example above, "foo")
-to commit or rollback the transaction. Please note that if you do not
-explicitly commit the transaction or if forcecommit is not turned on, the
-transaction will be automatically rolled back at channel destruction (after
-hangup) and all related database resources released back to the pool.
