In addition to the answer Michael gave in the previous post, you may be 
interested in looking at (or simply using) the source to the contrib 
module HTCondor DBQ.

HTCondor DBQ is a Perl module that provides a relational database 
interface to submit HTCondor jobs, and monitor their progress as they 
are executed. The user submits work to the system by inserting a row 
into a database table. The user can query the HTCondor DBQ tables to 
monitor the progress of their work.
