Is it possible to add a new database to the Ignition Database connections via a script?

No, not right now. Hopefully soon we will have scripting functions to alter configuration made from the Ignition Gateway configuration section like:

Add/edit/delete db connections  
Add/edit/delete devices and tags  
and more.

We don’t have a timeline right now but will keep you posted.
