Linking telecom to sql database : what technologies?

Apologies if I've posted this in the wrong forum. I code in php/mysql.

I would like to know what technology(s) would enable a user to dial a phone number, then dial an "extension" number that retrieves data from a database and speaks the data back to the caller. An example of what I am describing is when you call an airline, dial the flight number, and you get a real-time update of that plane's progress.

Any tips are greatly appreciated.

yes, it's possible.. but depends entirely on what the telecom system supports.. however, it's not really recommended... there are applications built for such things, like Asterix I believe..
