Puppet users - Apr 2009 - Use database to specify the set variables

Some clusters are using database to store node information such as the
group and the profile of the node. I''d like to use these variables in
the manifests. I wonder if it is better to create a specific fact that
provides it to the puppetmaster or if it is better to use the
puppetmaster to directly query the DB. I don''t know how to retrieve
these variables. Though I realize that using facter is not great for
security and scalability purposes.

I''d be interested in your ideas.
