Evening ladies/gents, I have a small question that will undoubtedly be annoying.

I am curious if there is any effective way to handle SQL updates/selects/deletes through the quest scripting system. I understand that the quest system is Perl, and I can do basic things through Perl & PHP. I am trying to find a more reliable way to handle instances than with qglobals. Is there a way to make qglobals more efficient or is there some secret to allowing an NPC(s) to allow SQL queries in the quest scripts?
