Extending DW: Connect to a database

[phx1rsb]

I am trying to find a good example to show me how to make dreamweaver connect
to a database.

My primary goal is to connect to a database that has our standard templates,
snippets, etc stored. Our standards are dynamic so our templates change often.
By creating an insert bar that would pull in the latest version from our table
we can make it easier for our developers to use the current template without
having to browse to our FTP site to download the latest version

Basically want to click an icon and it will pull the latest template from our
centralized database.

Ive been looking at the Database API documentation but I cannot seem to find
out how to make the initial connection.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

TIA

Ryan
