What database is this ?

If you have an utility to access your db, and this utility returns a scalar result, then you can use that to script. For example, this is with oracle.

Code:
# su - oracle
/usr/users/oracle>
/usr/users/oracle> a=`sqlplus -s '/ as sysdba' << EOF
> set feedback off pages 0
> select max(1) from dual;
> EOF`
/usr/users/oracle> echo $a
1
/usr/users/oracle>

sqlplus is the utility I use to query the db. Try to find something equivalent in yours.
