A lot can be done there are many activerecord implementations but none are
supported by dreamweaver afaik.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_object-relational_mapping_software

There's a feature request for an object datasource serverbehavior which if
implemented could be used to provide UI support for ActiveRecord
implementations
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1776864&group_id=201846&atid=979195

good luck with that.

i wonder what could be done in php as a work around, accomplishing the same thing but with mysql?

The magic word for this type of database interaction is "ActiveRecord"
I've posted a small example at

To use similar syntax in PHP you can use the ADOdb PHP Database abstraction
layer,
InterAKT (who made the ADDT) have developed the dreamweaver extension phAKT
that adds a new server-model PHP ADODB to dreamweaver and replicates the
standard dreamweaver ServerBehaviors up to Dreamweaver 8, however after the
merger with adobe the project was discontinued and not available for
download anymore. Since the project was released under the LGPL licence I've
setup a project on sourceforge with the aim of continuing distribution and
possibly development of the phaKT server model, to differentiate this
project from the original version we deceided to name it openphakt.
You can access the project website and source code repository from
http://openphakt.sourceforge.net ; to download the MXP look in the SVN
repository under the release folder

While the goal of continued distribution has been reached, nobody has
reported bugs/issues to the sourceforge project and development hasn't
started yet. If you have questions about the project I would be happy to
answer them.

Is this not something you can do in PHP?
