If you're queries are going to result in any quantity of information then you are probably better off creating a generator rather than an action.
Also, I don't think there should be any compromise to the separation of logic, content and style in using XSP to create a generator. Using XSP saves all the hassles of compiling and embedding java source in your project and registering new actions / generators, etc. I think there are some examples of database accessing XSP code within the default webapp that comes with Cocoon 2.
