[support] Accessing non-drupal tables with Views?

[Metzler, David]

You would have to write a views integration module to do this (expose
the data) to your module. Normally I'd point you to the views 3 api
documentation, but that doesn't appear to have been written yet. If
you're interested in this approach you might try filing a support
request asking how different the views 3 api is from the views 2 api
which is documented.   

 

You might also take a look at project forena, which is written as a more
general report writing engine.  

 

FULL DISCLOSURE: 
I'm the maintainer of the forena module.

Hi,

 

I have a Drupal7 site that shares a database with another application..
I would like to use views to publish data from the applications tables
to users..

 

Anyone have any ideas how to do this??

 

I have searched the internet but not found anything.. Certainly nothing
for D7..

 

TIA
