 I have two databases - one is for drupal data. The other db is for customer data. Inside the customer data db is a table - customer_data.

I want to do a select * on customer_data in the customer database and show the result on screen.

Can someone tell me how to do this?

Your bare bones menu item is something like this:

  $items['mypath/%object'] = array(
    'title' => 'Page title',
    'description' => 'Your description goes here.',
    'access arguments' => array('permission string'),
    'page callback' => 'customer_display',
  );

Then write a function named customer_display() that runs queries the way Frederik showed you and returns a string containing rendered HTML.
