OK, let me try to clarify then:

- project templates say *nothing* about your actual project. Imagine someone 
imports an existing project into KDevelop that uses a database. There is no 
way to associate that with a project template

- what you should do instead, is to add a  project configuration entry, see 
e.g.:

kdevelop/projectbuilders/makebuilder/
-> makebuilderpreferences.{h,cpp}
-> makebuilderconfig.{kcfg,kcfgc}
-> kcm_kdev_makebuilder.desktop

There you could add the UI required to configure a database connection.

Cheers
