(RADIATOR) SQL "bind variables" ?

[Ricardo Martinez]

I really appreciate all your help and advices on this matter.

We're going to investigate how we can use the actual modules to work with bind variables in Oracle.

Thanks again.
Best Regards,

Ricardo Martinez.-

Hello Olivier, Hello Ricardo -

You could always build a custom database specific module based on  
Radius/AuthSQL.pm to do whatever you require.

Alternatively you can contract us to build it for you if you wish.

We try to keep Radiator as "universal" as we can, so we tend not to  
use database specific code in the Radiator mainline.

BTW - there is an Oracle-specific module in the goodies called  
AuthPLSQL.pm that you can use if you wish. AuthPLSQL.pm is  
contributed code from Pavel Crasotin (thanks Pavel). Many Radiator  
operators use this module very successfully.

regards

Hugh
