That would be possible, but keep in mind that rest only provides a
transport mechanism, all the logic still has to be built in the server
that provides the rest service. You can compare it to the exec module,
it can only execute a program, the logic to make decisions here should
go into that program, not in the module itself.
If you literally mean database, the sql modules would be a far better
choice.

Theres is a demo.pl included with the source. That, along with the
config example are pretty clear on how to configure the rest module
(even though they don't work together out of the box). If that is
complete gibberish to you, than I don't think the rest module is
suitable for you.
