Thanks Robert, I've already got the db stuff working using jdbc and <sql>. Of course with a mysql database, it didn't work until I added perms for the user from the IP that I'm talking to it on:
grant all on dbname.* to 'username'@'ip.addy' identified by 'userpassword'; I don't see, however, how antcall or subant will solve my issue with being able to do something after the build fails. Ant turns tail and runs after a failure, there is no saying: onFailure DO... That's why I'm calling it from the exec task. Then I separate from the process and gather a return code on the other side... Maybe I'm missing something.

They are in "core tasks". If you put both tasks in the same xml file, you will use "antcall". Also, for your DB operation, look up "sql" task, which uses JDBC.
