[TYPO3-dev] FlexForm dropdown list with data from "external" datbase

["Alexander Födisch"]

Hi,

is it possible to create a FlexForm dropdown list using a "external" MySQL
database (not the Typo3 DB)?
I found a solution for run flexform with data from tables of the Typo3 database
(e.g.

<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15221862/typo3-use-ts-in-flexform-or-flexform-in-flexform>
), but not for "connecting" FlexForm to an external one.

Thanks for any help!
Alex
