Definitely. You use the IDLDBDatabase object's Connect method. It takes
CONNECTION or DATASOURCE keywords. Looking back over some old code I see
that I connected to a database with the commands

objDB = OBJ_NEW('IDLdbDatabase')
objDB->Connect, datasource='$Station Data'

Unfortunately I do not recall how I set up a data source called '$Station
Data'. I think this pointed to an .mdb file and that I set up the data
source via the ODBC Control Panel (Windows).

Hope this helps.
