Well - it all depends on what you are asking JMeter to do.  But if you
expect it to behave just the same way a user would, and the user
interaction would result in a DB update, then the answer is yes - you
are doing something wrong.  If you check out nerds-central
(nerds-central.blogspot.com) I put an article on there which describes
how to use jmeter samplers and proxys to figure out exactly what the
browser is doing and then replicate it using JMeter.

Cheers
