I had a quick look at the dtml tree doc (i have never used it, so am just 
going on what i read), but it seems that you can specify methods that are 
called in order to obtain branch elements and there is an attribute 'expr' 
which allows you to provide an 'expression' which provides the value to be 
displayed, so it sounds as if you should be able to write your own routines 
to pull the info out of your db.
