I think I have been round this loop but with mysql. As my simple needs increased so my approach changed. If you invest the time to learn hibernate www.hibernate.org you will unlock a powerfull mechanism to be able to access a database through beans. Once you have a bean you can easly integrate the bean into Cocoon using XSP's, Flow script, or CForms. I know this does not directly answer your question, but the more you invest up front the you will realise the power of technologies such as Cocoon.
If you don't want to go hibernate for a quick method, look at the SQL Transformer. The beauty of hibernate is that it allows you to build 3 tier applications with clear seperations between database buisness logic and presentation.
