The toolbars manager and ribbon have no relationship with data bases and you cannot data bind the ribbon to create ribbon tabs and tools based on the contents of a data base. Any work like this would have to be implemented manually by your application. However, you can save the layout or a toolbars manager to a stream and store that in a data base as a binary or xml value. Then you can load that layout stream from a data base and load it into the toolbars manager. But it will just revert back to a previous ribbon configuration. You cannot use this to dynamically create a ribbon.
