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

suggests), you might consider giving http://drupal.org/project/forena a
try.
