!!How to access the database from within a Wiki Plugin?

There are three ways to access the DB:

# __$tikilib->query($sql, $attributes);__ - This method allows you to utilize any functionality your MySQL username is allowed to use. it returns an AdoDB object.
# [PluginSQL] 
# [PluginDBReport ]

!!Using JQuery

JQuery gets included at the bottom of the page, so it isn't accessible in your plugins' template. To access JQuery:

#Make sure you have the global variable $headerlib defined.
#Add your JS with $headerlib->add_js( ''your js code'' );

You won't have the $() syntax. Use $jq() instead.
