You can use the system extension "dbal" to configure an extra database 
connection (also to an extra MySQL database). You can even map the table 
and column names in the external database to names that are compatible 
with the TYPO3 naming scheme.

The queries will automatically be executed on the second database and 
Extbase will be completely unaware of the extra database.
