There is no reference for APIs Radiator uses internally. For SQL calls
the file to see is Radius/SqlDb.pm

Most common calls are likely these:
sub prepareAndExecute
sub do
sub getOneRow

For things like $p->get_attr() see Radius/AttrVal.pm

fetchrow used to be a DBI call. The current DBI module now has this:

	fetchrow   	  => undef, # old alias for fetchrow_array

I think you are on the right track. You can use the DBI calls supported
by system DBI, for example.

Thanks!
