Worth connecting a SQL database with OS Commerce's?

SHOULD I DO WHAT'S BELOW?

 

I'm creating something of a mini-mall - a loose affiliation of stores. Shopkeepers will upload their products through a simple web interface to a MySQL databse. Now, is there a way for the OSC database to talk to the MySQL database in realtime. In other words, everytime a product is uploaded, it appears in the shopping cart. Everytime a product is sold in OSC, it is debitted from the external database.

 

OR IS THE ABOVE A SILLY IDEA?

 

Instead, should I have my web form, with which various authors can simply write products directly to Zen Carts database? If I do that, can I track, by multiple user logins, who is submitting products? And then can I, as admin, review products before making them live?
