Hi Sascha,

in the future, post to the docbook-apps mailinglist which is intended
for all kind of XSLT customizations. The docbook mailinglist is for
schema related questions. :)

This is quite easy. Search for a template in fo/inline.xsl which
matches database. You'll find this:

  <xsl:template match="database">
    <xsl:call-template name="inline.charseq"/>
  </xsl:template>

Wrap the inline.charseq with a <fo:inline color="..."> and your're done:

  <xsl:template match="database[@class='datatype']">
     <fo:inline color="green">
       <xsl:call-template name="inline.charseq"/>
     </fo:inline>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="database[@class='procedure']">
     <fo:inline color="red">
       <xsl:call-template name="inline.charseq"/>
     </fo:inline>
  </xsl:template>

Hope this helps.
