What database - something different then data.fs probably?

You'd have to feed it to
<zopehome>/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_HTML.py and use the String
method, probably. It is not completely clear to me what you try to do.
Is it indirect dtml calling - this could be difficult (your best bet
would be to use an external method methinks). If not, why can't you
include it like any normal DTML Method?

HTH (if only slightly)
