Enable debuggin by setting config_debug to 1 (in your config.inc.php)

You could use $rs = $node->selectDB();
This function returns a recordset. You could also give parameters to 
selectDB, the first parameter is the condition (without the "where" 
part), eg $node->selectDB("id=10");

To see the data which is in the recordset you could try:
atk_var_dump($rs);

The recordset which this function returns is a multidimensional array

The record in preUpdate might already contain the data you need. This 
records holds also information about relations. Try the following 
preUpdate function (inside your node):

function preUpdate(&$record)
{
   atkdebug("vardumping preupdate record!");
   atk_var_dump($record);
}
