I have a solution, but it's pretty expensive.

There is an application called PatternStream that uses the FrameMaker's Developer Kit to provide a rich robust interface between FrameMaker and SQL. It is a full database publishing solution and utilizes an ODBC connection to the database being queried.

If you want to learn PatternStream and do the coding yourself...for this project and others in the future, one seat-license for the full development version of PatternStream is $17,000. Otherwise, my company can do the coding (price TBD) which would run at your site using a $5000 run-time license for PatternStream.

This solution allows you to do many useful things with bookmarks and hyperlinks, also indexing, cross-references, and table of contents.

Providing all the variability of a database (accessed through SQL) and all the variability of FrameMaker is a non trivial solution.
