[TYPO3-dev] TYPO3 7.6.2: Best practice to access foreign database within backend module

[Patrick Rodacker]

Hej there,

I wonder if there is any best practice approach to access a "second"
foreign database from within an extbase backend module in 7.6.2.

Is it possible to configure a second database connection or any other
approach so I do not have to

a) import all tables from the foreign db into the existing db or
b) overwrite the Typo3DbBackend

Thanks for any hint on this ;-)

Best regards
Patrick
