I'm not informed about Radius in any way, but I guess what you want to
do is have a middle-tier in form of an application, e.g. in PERL, PHP,
or whatever.

MySQL's batch mode is actually the MySQL Monitor's (mysql) capability to
process data in a non-interactive way. You can feed it with as many
SQL statements as you like, but there is no way to pass it parameters
in the way you want to. You can go like mysql -e 'sql-statement', but
then again you would have to have the parameters in place, in
'sql-statement'.

Maybe others can tell you that you can solve your problem with UDF,
but I guess Stored Procedures are the straightforward solution. They
are planned for version 5.0: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/News-5.0.x.html
