  1. are you talking Asterik internal database or external ?
  2. what do you want to do with the database ?

assuming you’re going to use MySQL, the wiki has the information you need ! this is a good starting place : voip-info.org/wiki/view/Mysql

as for setting it up, well that depends on your OS etc. and it’s really got nothing to do with Asterisk, but to use MySQL you’ll need asterisk-addons compiled, and this will need the mysql-devel package installed for your OS.

if you want to use something other than MySQL, then again, the wiki is the place to start.
