[Mediawiki-l] Use MySQL for User Login

Actually, an idea just came to my mind ...
 
As we all know, MediaWiki uses MySQL ($wgDBname) for authentication by default already.
If we could let user login query go to another database, instead of the default one $wgDBname, that would solve the problem, and it is much easier and simpler than using the Auth viaMySQL extension.
 
The question is ...
How could we simply redirect the login query to another database?
 
Thanks again,
Ross
