You could write Python scripts within JMRI to handle the connection with your database.
How often does your inventory change? The tricky part of a real-time connection is handling coordination and conflict.

From my research into JMRI, the "database" is a series of XML files. Is anyone aware of any sort of database interface that can be used in place of the XML? I've built my own application to track my inventory, pictures, etc. and would love to be able to tie in my inventory database directly with JMRI for operations. I understand it does import/export, but I'd prefer a real-time connection to a database. Thanks.
