(RADIATOR) SQL access from within a hook

[Mike Nerone]

Hugh,   In answer to another person's question, you mentioned doing SQL accesses from within a PostAuthHook. Can I use the database handle that my AuthBy clause already has open, or do I have to manage my own handle? Either way, can you give me a line or two of code that shows an example of how I would do it (it doesn't have to be a useful example...just give me a ->prepare(), and a connect() if I have to manage my own).   If I can use AuthBy's handle, then what happens if I try to do that in a PreClientHook, or a PreAuthHook, or any other time when the handle has not been connected yet? Is there a way I can call the AuthBy and make it connect? Like an autoconnect? If I do have to manage my own handle, can I at least make it persistent?   Thanks...   Mike
