Hi,

I am writing a new RLM called rlm_prop_protocol. It basically adds some attributes. The value for these attributes are pulled from a backend database (MYSQL). I wanted to know whether there is a provision in freeradius or some standard method that may be used to connect and fetch data from the MYSQL database. As of now I have added MYSQL specific code in my module.

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...
