[TYPO3] connecting to a foreign database

[ries van Twisk]

Hey Peter,

I did something like that with the rvt_adodb extension.
It allows you to connect to different database and
give you a AdoDB connection in a global aswell.

You should beable to use it if you don't want typo3 to
use any of the tables in your remote db.
