using mysql in latex

I have a mysql database that contains snippets of latex code, identified by a unique id which I imaginatively called id.

Now I would like to typeset a document with latex in the following way:

\documentclass{article}
\newcommand{\dbquery}[1]{???}
\begin{document}
Some text \dbquery{23} some more text etc.
\end{document}

So the idea is, whenever the macro \dbquery appears, the latex code with id=23 in the db is inserted into the text.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

You may take a look at LaTeXDB. Since it connects LaTeX to a MySQL database, it should be your friend here.
