I'm working with the Photoshop Scripting plug-in.
From the Photoshop 7.0 Scripting Guide, it states"...JavaScript is invoked from a menu selection within Photoshop and lacks the facilities to directly address other applications. For example, you cannot easily write a JavaScript to manage workflows involving Photoshop and a database management program..."
Should I assume, then, if I need to get Photoshop data from a SQL database or some other external source that I cannot use JavaScript to accomplish this?
Thanks.

you cannot easily write a JavaScript to manage workflows involving Photoshop and a database management program.
the key word there is "easily". that's a relative term. if you know what you're doing in javascript (or vbscript, etc) you should have no problem. it would probably require some server side scripting as well, but not necessarily. it would depend on your configuration.

Thanks. Just wanted to clarify that JavaScript will work before I dive into this. There's a good probability that I'll need to pull data from an external database in the app.

I see no reason why you couldn't.
