[support] Search My Custom MySQL Table in drupal

[Steve]

Thanks just the direction i needed  Yes it is a read-only data and i need to
expose it to drupal. Do you have links of how this is implemented or the
exact link of the views documentation i would appreciate. I have checked out
some here<http://www.palantir.net/blog/remote-data-drupal-museums-and-web-2009>and
here<http://www.gregeisenman.info/blogs/greg/views-2-and-drupal-adding-custom-field-views-query>but
most are just write ups.

Thanks its time i start figuring this out
