Hi,

is there a way to access tables in a DB outside the drupal DB used for the site?
I'd like to import and display data in tables from another application..

Thanks in advance

The table wizard (tw) allows non drupal tables to be tied in and attached to views.
See http://www.lullabot.com/articles/drupal-data-imports-migrate-and-table-w...

All the same, it would be nice is the Data Module could directly parse and export non drupal tables too..

Only the default DB is supported at the moment, but otherwise any table that is not known to Drupal can be added to Data by using the "adopt tables" tab on admin/build/data.
