You can go step by step using insertion points.

I made an example that may help:
 <http://www.siliconpublishing.com/InDesign/CatalogExample.htm>

You basically set the insertion point to the latest one, like:
    Set oPoint = oPoints.Item(oPoints.Count)

apply the style you want:
    oPoint.AppliedParagraphStyle = oDocument.ParagraphStyles.Item("Body Text")

read the field from the database (this is inside a do while loop iterating through the records in a table or query):
    sBuf = rs.Fields("ProductCode")

and set the contents of the insertion point to the value you've read from the database:
    oPoint.Contents = sBuf & vbLf

Max
