Puppet users - Nov 2013 - mysql value lookup from manifest

Hi,

What would be the best way to get a something from mysql?
I was looking at hira-mysql, but it doesn''t seem to be able to run
arbitrary commands.
For example, I want to get part of the motd from mysql, depending on the
hostname. Up until now, i was using a script, calling it with generate the
master side, and using the result in a template:
$motd = generate (''/etc/puppet/bin/getmotd'',$hostname)
But maybe there''a more ... puppet way?

Thanks.

If you have a use case that doesn''t mesh well with hiera-mysql, then
your
best options are generate() or your own custom function.
