Connecting to Database

[Sandeep Kalidindi at PaGaLGuY.com]

Hi all,
           i am about to write a couple of transformation plugins to ATS
which will fetch data from the database so that all the read requests will
be taken care of by the ATS itself while write requests are passed on to the
backend servers.

was checking the architecture and it looks fine by me. wanted to ask the
community if there is any major why we should not connect to the database
from ATS before i spend considerable time on it.

Cheers,
Deepu.
