PAM time restrictions - changing Time.conf so it gets time from a sql table

I was wondering with the PAM authentication module (pam_time) that I can grab time from a server using sql/postgress which uses TIMEDATE function to get the time of logging out into pam_time ?

so basically I want to insert sql statments into Time.conf which would get the time from a table.

And that won't fly; the only way I see to go about it is to write
a trigger within postgres using an "unsafe" language, e.g.: Pl/Peru
and use that to modify the text file. Trying to get PAM to READ
a database would be way more complex.
