Is there a way to perform error checking with $db->query?

Why doing that instead of $contact_bean->save()?

Anyway, you can do something like that:

$db->query($sql);

if($db->checkError()) {

   $error = $db->lastError();

}

Hello.

It is a public endpoint with noLoginRequired = true due to not wanting to burden an external team with the annoyance of jugging refresh tokens or authenticating with a user and pass. The bean->save(); method does not work within  public hooks. It just crashes the hook without any logs in sugar. I could bypass this with the code below but this seems like more of a security risk than just doing a quick update with SQL, but I could be wrong.

global $current_user;



if (empty($current_user) || empty($current_user->id)) {

    $current_user = new User();

    $current_user->getSystemUser(); // or any other user bean

}

In any case, thank you for the reply.
