A Slightly More Complex revLet Question

I'm trying to convert one of Tcl/TK programs to work on a web server
instead of the desktop. Because of the Sarbanes/Oxley Act, this will
save them a lot of money.
My question is:
I can convert the screens/tabs/menus fairly easily to a revLet. In
fact, this is going rather smoothly. The problem is that the data to
fill the fields comes from a SQL server. I assume that I'm going to
need some sort of .cgi/.irev program to send a query to and get the
results back from. Will this require a connect/disconnect every time I
need to get data? Can I create a generic cgi/irev program to receive a
query and return tab delimited records?
Better still, can I "connect" from my revLet and keep the connection
open and talk to the server directly from the revLet?
As I said in my subject, this is a much more complex use of the revLet
than I've seen talked about here.
Any help and/or advice would be appreciated.
