[support] Report from an arbitrary database

[Metzler, David]

It will access any PDO database (mysql included) and also allows native
support for Oracle.  We use it for reporting against oracle, but also
used it to add chat logs to the Openfire chat server: another mysql
application. 
 
I'm working on adding Postgres native support as well in order to take
advantage of some of the cool XML specific technologies in postgres. 
 
If you have any trouble using it, file issues on the issue queue.

Thanks, Dave. This may be useful for another application I'm thinking
of, as long as it will access external mySQL databases.

	I'm not sure what you're expecting drupal to do vs. your online
application.  But if you need to produce a report from an arbitrary
database, with the context of a drupal site (as your subject suggests),
you might consider giving http://drupal.org/project/forena a try.
