var m = new Message("database");
// Specify connection to use
m.account = "yateadmin";
// Define Query
m.query = "SELECT * FROM lines WHERE location IS NOT NULL ORDER BY line LIMIT 5";
// Run the Query
if (m.dispatch()) {
    if (m.rows > 0) {
        Engine.output("Got " + m.rows + " records of " + m.columns + " fields");
        Engine.output("result[0,0] = " + m.getResult(0,0));
        var res = m.getColumn("location");
        for (var i = 0; i < res.length; i++) {
            Engine.output("location[" + i + "] = " + res[i]);
        }
    }
}
else {
    Engine.output("Query failed");
}

Example with call interaction

// Get DB Object, Account, Query var m = new Message("database"); m.account = "yateadmin"; m.query = "SELECT test from test";

// Run the Query if (m.dispatch()) { Engine.output("Query Ok"); if (m.rows > 0) { Engine.output("result[0,0] = " + m.getResult(0,0));

// assuming m.getResult(0,0) returns "tone/busy" or "sip/sip:345@10.11.12.13" Channel.callJust(m.getResult(0,0)); } }
