I need help understand how to use the Script Component to create a connection to the database, submit a SQL, retrieve the results. Are there any good tutorials?
I would like to use the script component basically as a lookup to incoming rows. I have to perform numerous lookup and thought this approach of using script components would allow me to do this. Also, it would allow me to perform additional steps, where I need to built up a field as a result of the lookups.
Any help would be appreciated.

You can use SQLCommand or other relevant classes.

You missed the obvious question: why use a script component to do lookups when there is already a dedicated lookup component?

To quote the OP:

But you're right, if a traditional lookup can be used, by all means, please do so.

Fair enough. I think we need to understand the problem/requirement better before knowing whether it's possible using lookups (and maybe derived columns) or not ...
