Hi Peter,

I did bother to look at rlm_sql. However my need is
a bit different. I do not
want to fetch values from a DB and added them as values
to certain radisu attributes.
I want to fetch, do some operation on the feteched
value and then add the result
of the operation to the radius attributes. Any ideas
or suggested steps would be
helpful.

Regards
Nitin

Did you bother to look at the FreeRADIUS code before you started writing??

The modules rlm_sql and rlm_sql_mysql would seem to be pretty self 
explanatory :-)

It is quite likely that you can do what you need without writing a new
module...
