Eric, Gaston,
Have you tried looking at the Page Definition option available on the Definition Query tab? This button becomes available for Data Driven Page (DDP) enabled maps. If the feature tables you want to query (or not) have also have a field that matches the DDP then this may be a solution.
Eric is correct in that this can done with arcpy.mapping using the layer.definitionQuery property. Arcpy.mapping was designed to extend the out-of-the box capabilities of DDP.
