Hi Carl,

1) Create a Writer document template with the size of the label you 
require or use one of the pre-supplied label formats provided with LO.

2) In order to be able to include Database Field Names, you will need to

(a) be able to either connect directly from LO to the database server 
(using the GUI and a registered datasource or a macro to setup the 
database context)

OR

(b) insert "placeholders" or "user-defined" fields which will then have 
to be mapped to the data you can retrieve from your web interfaced database.

3) Alternatively, use some third party software to manipulate the 
corresponding ODF document directly (python, java tools, php, perl, 
etc). IMO, this may probably be easier in the long run if you don't 
require your users to manipulate file creation, ie., if everything is 
setup by an admin and doesn't require further user intervention other 
than launching a script.
