The json_encode() suggests that there is an AJAX script involved.

This indeed does another call to 
http://www.rfpfactsheet.com/rfp-issuer/a001-finance-factsheet/rfp-id-a001/live-example/?draw=1&columns%5B0[...]regex%5D=false&_=1429549343353

This means that there is JS in your page that wants to call a second 
script that produces the data that will be put in the table by JS.

For such situations you could an eID script. The book I suggested in the 
previous post has a chapter about eID scripts. An eID script starts a 
very basic TYPO3 environment without most of the features of a normal 
frontend environment. It is a lot faster and can be used to quickly 
retrieve extra data which doesn't need a complete TYPO3 frontend (for 
example data for an autocomplete field, dynamic data that needs to be 
updated frequently, etc.)
There are other solutions, but for the simple database query in your 
example an eID script might be suitable.

It might be useful to get some books on TYPO3 extension programming. 
They usually come with examples for various tasks and types of extensions.
