UDF capabilities

[Charlie Thunderberg]

Hi all,

I would like to write a UDF that inserts rows into a local table accessable 
by the caller of the UDF. This code basically would solve my problem of 
recursive graph navigation (in a twisted way).

Since my code is being run as part of the server and is being called by a 
user having a proper connection, would I still need to open a new connection 
to the local database after finding some username and password from 
somewhere (using the API mysql_init(...), mysql_connect(...), 
mysql_query(...), etc) , or do you know a more rational way of retrieving 
and using the already open connection made by the caller of my UDF?

Thank you for all replies!

Charlie
