The error checking would be driver specific anyway.
hmmm, I actually like the idea. It would allow us to create a very feature rich auth module, supporting all sorts of different kinds of schemas for group membership and what not. - I disagree that the sql re-use would just be a few lines, I think it would be quite a bit more if features were added. >It would be different if the proposed mod_authn_sql (or mod_authn_rdbm) would >implement a generic connection pooling. this, IMO, doesn't belong in an auth module itself. if you implement connection pooling it should be independent of who is using the connections. sterling
