We would like to create a 2-way link between an InDesign document and a database, such as Oracle. We have found a third-party plug-in called Woodwing Smart Catalog, which allows data in an InDesign document to be populated from a database. However, if data in an InDesign document is updated, it does not change the database. Is there a way to link an InDesign document to a database, so if the document content is updated in InDesign, the database gets updated? Are there any 3rd party products that do this?
