 * I would like retrieve data from a mysql database table, by using shortcode with
   attributes.
 * My database table is named “Prices” and contains these fields “Item”, “Price1”,“
   Price2” and “Price3”.
 * The function of the shortcode should be like this:
    [Item1 attribute=”Price1″]
   should show Price1 of Item 1. [Item2 attribute=”Price3″] should show Price3 of
   Item 2 etc. etc.
 * I this possible (I´m a newbie in this game)?
    If possible, how should the code
   for this be?
 * Hope somebody can give me some hints for this.
 * Regards Brian
