There are many ways to do this ... DBI, Og, ActiveRecord.
I found DBI difficult to get working. ActiveRecord was much easier. I
haven't tried Og yet, but it's on my list of things to do.

You'll find lots of information about using ActiveRecord on the web.
If you want to go with ActiveRecord and can't find a good example of
using it, I can send you one.

If you want to do anything more then connect, such as move data and present
views and you have even a remote understanding of MVC and understand
Ruby .. GET Rails!!!
