Using the activity 'database' to upload students

Guys please forgive me if this is a silly question.

At present i use the database activity within a course to capture the data for enrolling students on to course.

1 - I simply set up the database with first name, surename, email, etc

2 - I then export as a csv file

3 - upload the students as a bulk file..... pretty simple.

My question is,  can this activity be used to automatically upload students to moodle and enrol them onto a course without someone having to use the csv file. This would be a pretty cool feature if this could be done. 

Again sorry if this sounds wrong, but I am not a developer. my basic mind says, the datatbase information must go somewhere in moodle, can this not be used to enrol or register a student?


cheers guys.....love moodle!
