Asterisk provides a powerful mechanism for storing values called the Asterisk database
(AstDB). The AstDB provides a simple way to store data for use within your dialplan.
The Asterisk database stores its data in groupings called families, with values identified by keys. Within a family, a key may be used only once. For example, if we had a family called test, we could store only one value with a key called count. Each stored value must be associated with a family.

By something called Families and Keys. Families represent the overall group in which data is associated and keys are lower level delineations for data within the families.
