How do I use the information in that database? Am I supposed to hard code it into a structure in my engine and see what happens or something?

Well, I would only use it to have a look at what can be seen
as "standard". So I think it''s nice to know, if the code
i''m doing will most likely run on most configurations or not.

Believe it or not, but this seems important to me...

It''s just a reference point. Card features can change from driver release to driver release, so it would be a bad idea to hardcode information from the database.

Still test the cap in your game and disable the unsuported
things. this is the only way.
Yes you will have to write your game for a range of specification
but for my part I assume that if the user have a crappy card it should not expect to have a wonderful game.
Appart some very advanced stuff like bump map and other very consuming things most of the card support common stuff like multipass ,alpha and so on.
For my part after several experience I assume that writing a game is enough complicated (I mean one we finish) so I leave the most advanced things to Quake''s team and other million dollard
dev team. Multipass and alpha should to the job.
For example 512 texture in my game is an graphic option that the user can''t select if his card only support 256 sized texture.
