I would like to know the best approach for having formatted tables in ID documents (e.g. travel agency brochures), changed or updated.
Could the data be updated automatically or running an script from an Oracle database? How about the table/cells formatting.

It seems they would like to be able to auto update the data and have asked me how they have to work it out, they have programmers, but have no knowledge about InDesign 2.0 and its posssibilities.

Could any of those helpful experts delineate it for a scripts newbie in need of explain it in plain words.

Thanks in advance
