The only way I know to communicate with a database without using
Dataminer is to use external code. I use Java to handle all of my
database interactions from IDL. You could potentially use C code to
handle the database communication if you're more familiar with C than Java.

The IDL-Java Bridge (new in IDL 6.0) allows you to create Java objects
within IDL. Since there are a plethora of classes within the java.sql
package, I wrote a couple of Java classes which act as a facade into the
package. By doing this, I only have to instantiate one or two Java
classes in IDL which keeps the IDL code much cleaner. So far this has
worked pretty well for what I need to do.
