Some of the WRTG distros already use one version of SER in their systems as an ALG, application level gateway.
A bizarre, but understandable application of it, I suppose.
And yes, MySQL is not a requirement at all. It's just a matter of what you want to do. Check the documentation - we have a lot of it - and you will even find drivers for text-based configurations. Daniel can comment on the state of these, I'm sure.
Yep, if you want to use OpenSER/Kamailio for some purpose that does not require dynamic information and so on, it is quite possible to do it without using a database.
However, I assumed that since the question was posed in this manner, there was an underlying assumption that things requiring a database need to be done. Otherwise, why even ask the question; in that case, it ought to be self-evident that there is no need to use a database to begin with, let alone MySQL.
