Better way to save data into the database

Asterisk Asterisk APIs

I need to collect calls data in my dialplan and have some doubts about what is the better way to capture and develop it.

Is it better I develop the dialplan with MYSQL application for example, or is it better use application as System() or AGI()?

I would like to know what is faster and have better performance basically.

Pretty much the same because at the end using AGI or System, you re running a third part script or command in the Asterisk framework, difference I have found AGI provide a debug tool and system () allows you execute Linux command directly from Asterisk

Func_odbc can help a lot when you have many points at dialplan to collect data and in this way you will have a few functions for all your stuffs.
When you use AGI you must avoid to have a single point of failure splitting your necessities across more than one script.

and MYSQL? is it not recommended?

No is not, is an app based on a deprecated module, it was substituted by ODBC configuration

I would also recommend func_odbc… this will create a custom dialplan function that will allow you to set or retrieve values in the database.

See Asterisk to mySQL via AGI/fastAGI or function ODBC](Asterisk to mySQL via AGI/fastAGI or function ODBC)

Well, the end solution was create new variables in the dialplan and columns in cdr table and save the informations on these table/columns.

I choosed that because looks is easier way and better performance.

Thanks to all answers.
