The project need is to write the existing fields of a cck-content type to an external database. Any new content added is to update the external db as well. I am guessing that writing api calls is the best way to go. This or using the import/export module. Any suggestions?

Get in touch with me using my contact form. Would be great if you could provide past experience .

I have a little script I'm using that takes some CCK fields and exports them to an Excel file. It's handy because it becomes a link (which can be hidden behind some role specific logic).

We are using it to create 'Employment Applications' online, and then let our end user download them all in one go.

It shouldn't be very hard to create what you are looking for.

Looking for the same info myself.
You can use Views2 in a similar manner to read and display the external MySQL data... now just need to make some nice CCK forms for it! :-)
