Andreas is right here. We try to avoid muggling external APIs into
Kannel as much as possible. For some reasons it's necessary as
permanent storage backend, like DLRs.

But for batched SMS transmission out of a database you should use an
external component that queries your db and talks HTTP to Kannel's
interface in this way:


      Kannel's         HTTP                           SQL queries
    HTTP interface  <-------->   Your application   <------------->
RDBMS
      (smsbox)                  (maybe PHP or Perl)
