[OpenSIPS-Users] User_preferences vs db_alias for forwarding.

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Jeff,

It is more or less the same. user_preferences gives a bit of a more 
flexibility as you have the additional type field , while the db_alias 
does not have (there is only one mapping from alias to user) - but you 
can use different aliasing tables.

Also, the user_preferences support non-SIP keys (to look for a new 
value) - like a user ID -, while db_aliases use a SIP uri key.
