I think the thing to do in this case is to have your database create a tagged text file from the data, then have your script import the tagged text file and take care of page layout tasks.

While you could have a script take the data from the fields and records in the database and lay them out in InDesign, it'll be much quicker if you use tagged text.

Thanks,

Ole
