  FreeRADIUS works with a local or remote SQL database.  It doesn't matter.

  Find out why your SQL server is returning SUCCESS, and then failing to write the data.

  FreeRADIUS works for everyone else with SQL.  There's no magic here.  Something on your local system is broken.

  It's either the database, *or* you have some locally butchered version of FreeRADIUS, or the SQL library used by FreeRADIUS is lying to the server.

  Again, there's no magic here.  If FreeRADIUS says it wrote data to SQL, then it's been told by the SQL server and the SQL client library that the data was written.
