database

Is it possible for xerte to run a query against a database? I would like to create a flashcard program that uses a database that contains all the vocabulary words and the translations plus the audio file(s) that contain the recording for each word with its start cue and stop cue. Then I wouldn't have to do the "input work" for each vocabulary item. As part of this question, can I run a javascript function that reads the values from an array ?
Thanks.
