Check them out for a basic idea of what writing a provider might look like.

OK, found the :required => true for the attributes.

But I'm not sure where to put the actual meat of this provider - suggestions?

I looked at the database cookbook and am more confused at seeing all the stuff in lib...

Here's an example of a LWRP provider that is fairly meaty but contains all the code it runs:

https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/java/blob/master/providers/ark.rb 

You can ignore the `converge_by` stuff for now, that's required for why-run support, but not necessary otherwise (just don't put the why run_supported?; true stuff in your LWRP if you don't support why-run).
