Disabling Voicemail Globally

[mutt]

When I update v_voicemails and set voicemail_enabled to false, and disable all the voicemail routes in dialplan manager, it sort of works. However, on registration I still get an SQL error. I cannot figure out how to make registration not try to grab voicemails.

For context - my extensions are alpha-numeric. The voicemail_id field is numeric only. I can't decide if its a bug or feature yet. But in the meantime, I'd like to avoid the error.

You are probably best avoiding alphanumeric extensions. I'm not sure they get tested as much as they might.

I think I got it.. I checked how the queries were run, and the numbers were always quoted. ie "voicemail_id = '1234'". So I felt text would be safe.
Because BDR prevents changing data type, I did an add new column, update v_voicemails set newcolumn = voicemail_id, then dropped voicemail_id, and then renamed newcolumn to voicemail_id. That cleared up the error. Next order of business was a voicemail_enabled = false update, and.. seems to have done what I want.
