WML is just your way of displaying the information on the phone. Its not a scripting language and doesn't have database support.

You need to write CGI or ASP pages which query the database and return the results FORMATTED IN WML.

Then you just need to make sure your ASP page sets the content type e.g.
response.ContentType = "text/vnd.wap.wml"

I have the same problem, and tried a thing that works a little.
I noticed that you can use asp pages instead of wml, and the nokia recognize it.
The .asp page is translated in .html.
Just what you have to do is to put xml code instead of html.
It does not work correctly with some metatags.
for example, card id is no more recognize.

I think in some time Microsoft will make a modification that will permit us to insert asp really in wml page.
Perhaps the good solution is to use javascript or CGI or something else.
If you find another solution, I am interested.

Here is an example of asp pages that works :

page default.asp
