RE: database reading through voiceXML

Hi Shridhar,
 
According to my knowledge there are no tags in VXML for database acess.
Customized tags are not possible as VXML  as such is a XML schema.
For database access you will have to call asp or jsp pages and dynamically
create vxml pages.
 
Thanks and Regards.

Subject: database reading through voiceXML



Hi,
Are there any tags in voiceXML that can make program read data from database
by generating the queries dynamically?
If yes then what are those tags?
If no then is it possible to have customized tags (say "dbread") in
voiceXML? viz.
<prompt>
Your account balance is <dbread table='account' field='balance'/>
</prompt>
 
Is this feasible? OR we have to always submit to next asp or jsp or whatever
and generate the vxml with account balance information dynamically?
If it is feasible then...
do the vxml interpreters available today can support customizable tags? Like
if a custom tag is found the interpreter should hand over the control to the
application to take necessary actions.
 
Regards,
Shridhar
