This tight integration of a db back end will have lot more limitation when it comes to scalable deployment. i.e. 100s of BTS connecting to more than one BSCs which will need a common database backend as the the HLR. We might not need BSCs to talk to HLR in proper MAP interface, but atleast they can do talk directly to HLR DB using db driver for now.

Is there anyway we can get into mysql integration. I will give it a try if some one can put bit more light on that way.

this is the much more important topic.  Without that change, it is
completely useless to switch to another database.  In fact, it may make
things worse due to higher latency caused by inter-process
communication between DB client (openbsc) and DB server.
