Not very feasible, particularly if, as you describe, the database schema is
being frequently updated, which means FDK work each time a schema change is
made.

I have a paper on database publishing with FrameMaker and UniMerge. If you
request it, I'll send it as a MIME-encoded email attachment (Acrobat 3.0 PDF).
