I don't want to use vfile as the acl backend. I want to use sql, but it seems to be sparsely documented.? Would this work? create table acls ( ? acl_name varchar(255) not null, ? username varchar(320) not null default '', ? acl_value varchar not null, ? constraint acls_pk primary key (acl_name, username) ); map { ? pattern = $key ? table = acls ? fields { ??? acl_name = $key ? } ? username_field = username ? value_field = acl_value } Thanks.
