[support] Search My Custom MySQL Table in drupal

[larry at garfieldtech.com]

CCK and webform won't really help you here.  If this data is read-only, 
and you just want to expose it to Drupal, I'd recommend adding Views 
integration hooks for that table.  Then you can build lists and queries 
against it using Views, including exposed filters that you can use as a 
search form.

The Views documentation has more details.  I also recommend the table 
wizard module, which can greatly speed up the process of writing the 
necessary hooks.
